Connect the blogs and emails endpoints and map form fields to post fields and recipient data.
Run tests from Formester’s test console and verify triggers and emails.
You can begin by obtaining your Blogs API credentials and adding them to Formester’s GHL integration settings. Ensure the scopes include necessary access like blogs/post.write and emails/builder.readonly. Once connected, use the blogs/posts endpoints to create content and emails to notify subscribers. Start with a simple form that creates a post and sends a confirmation email to confirm the flow works. Next, verify the data mapping between your form fields and blog fields (title, content, slug) and test the trigger with sample submissions to confirm end-to-end execution.
For blog posting, you primarily need POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. If you want to check slug availability, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or POST /blogs/posts for new drafts. To support email notifications, ensure you can access POST emails/builder or data endpoints to trigger templates. Map your form inputs to the required post fields and recipient details in the email template.
Yes. After a post is created via POST /blogs/posts, you can immediately trigger an email using POST /emails/builder or POST /emails/builder/data with the appropriate template. This enables welcome messages, confirmations, or newsletters to subscribers based on post events. Test the full chain by submitting the Formester form and observing both the blog post creation and the email delivery in the logs.
No extensive coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code use through the GHL interface, using standard endpoints and field mappings. You will configure API credentials, endpoint lookups, and simple data mappings to connect Formester actions with Blogs API triggers.
Map fields such as post title, content, slug, and recipient email from the Formester form to the Blogs API and Emails builder templates. You can also map category and author lookups to dropdowns in Formester forms to maintain consistency. Ensure the identifiers (IDs and slugs) align between systems.
Use Formester’s test console or a test form submission to trigger the workflow. Check the logs for POST /blogs/posts and the emails endpoints, verify the response statuses, and confirm the recipient receives the email. Iterate on field mappings as needed.
API credentials are found in your Blogs API account and must be entered in Formester’s GHL integration settings. Keep keys secure, restrict scopes to required endpoints, and rotate credentials periodically. If you lose keys, regenerate them from the provider and update the Formester connection immediately.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
