To access the GHL Blogs API, authenticate with your GHL account using an API key and OAuth scope. The integration should request emails/builder.readonly and relevant blog endpoints to read and write data safely.
GatherUp uses a secure API key pairing with your GHL credentials to authorize requests to the Blogs API. Keep keys secret and rotate them regularly.

This glossary covers essential terms and processes used in the GHL Blogs API and GatherUp integration.
GHL API: The set of REST endpoints that let apps read and write data in your GHL account.
Post: A blog entry or article created in the Blogs API and surfaced in GatherUp.
Slug: A URL-friendly, unique identifier for a post used in the web address.
Webhook: A real-time notification delivered to GatherUp when a relevant event occurs in the Blogs API.
Automatically generate blog draft posts from GatherUp reviews and publish via the Blogs API.
Send summaries to the email builder via Blogs API endpoints to engage readers.
Use slug updates and post-update triggers to refresh SEO and republish content.
Generate an API key for the Blogs endpoints and assign at least read/write permissions.
Map GatherUp events to Blogs API actions: new post to create, updates to update.
Run test flows, verify data integrity, monitor for errors.
No coding is required for many integrations. The platform provides visual mappings and pre-built actions to connect GatherUp with the Blogs API. For advanced users, custom API calls can be added to tailor the data flow. Start with the no-code options and expand as needed.
Typically you’ll need title, content, and slug to create a post. Additional fields like author and category improve organization and SEO. Excerpt and publish date can be used for richer posts.
Yes. Posts can be updated after creation via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You’ll generally provide the postId and the fields to update such as title, content, or slug.
Authentication should use API keys paired with OAuth tokens. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and apply least-privilege scopes to limit access to necessary endpoints only.
Deletion uses DELETE /blogs/posts/:postId. Consider soft delete or archival if your workflow requires keeping historical data.
Test the integration in a safe environment, review error messages, and monitor logs. Use sample data to validate mappings before going live.
Logs can be viewed in the GatherUp and GHL integration dashboards. Enable webhook diagnostics and review retry policies to diagnose failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
