Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code to connect Gift Up! with Blogs API using GHL?

No-code options are available through the GHL Connector, letting you set up triggers, actions, and field mappings without writing code. You can configure the flow using visual builders and test data flows directly in the interface. If you need a quick start, use the provided templates for blog post creation and updates.

Essentials include POST /blogs/posts to publish new content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.

Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to ensure your URL is unique. If the slug already exists, adjust it or append a unique suffix. This helps maintain SEO-friendly and stable URLs.
