This glossary covers authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used when connecting Gmail with the Blogs API in GHL.
GHL is the abbreviation for the GHL platform used to connect apps, automate campaigns, and manage customer data via APIs.
Blogs API exposes endpoints for managing blog posts, categories, authors, and related content, which can be used to feed Gmail newsletters and campaigns.
Gmail is the email platform used to send campaigns, trigger automations, and receive inbox-based events that interact with the Blogs API.
An API Endpoint is a specific URL or path that performs an action when called, including retrieval, creation, and updates for Gmail and Blogs content.
Automatically generate a weekly newsletter from blog posts and send via Gmail using templates in GHL.
Create dynamic email replies using blog content and reader signals to speed up Gmail conversations.
Schedule short post summaries to Gmail recipients based on a publishing calendar.
Generate API keys, configure scopes, and authorize in your GHL account for Gmail access.
Connect Gmail account, approve permissions, test endpoints and workflows.
Run tests, monitor results, optimize triggers, and deploy the automations.
The Gmail GHL connection lets you automate emails and blog-driven newsletters between Gmail and your GHL account using the Blogs API. You can access endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts to compose, schedule, and publish content. Ensure the scope is set to emails/builder.readonly for read access, and request additional permissions as needed. This setup enables scalable, code-free automation by leveraging proven endpoints and workflows within GHL.
The most frequently used endpoints include GET emails/builder for templates, POST /emails/builder/data to create emails, and GET emails/schedule to view scheduled sends. For content publishing, use POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You can also fetch authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints support end-to-end workflow from authoring to delivery in Gmail newsletters.
Security relies on OAuth scopes and API key management. Use the emails/builder.readonly scope for read access and request additional permissions only when necessary. Regularly rotate keys, monitor access logs, and enforce least-privilege access within your GHL account. Always test in a staging environment before deploying to production to minimize risk and ensure compliant data handling.
Yes. Create a blog post via the Blogs API and schedule its delivery to Gmail newsletters using the schedule endpoint and template mappings. This allows you to align blog publication with targeted email campaigns. Leverage the slug and category fields to organize content and automate subscriber delivery streams.
No-code flows in GHL can connect Gmail with the Blogs API endpoints, enabling powerful automations without writing code. Use triggers, actions, and conditions to build end-to-end processes for emailing, posting, and updating content. If your needs expand, you can extend with custom fields or additional endpoints while keeping the core logic in GHL.
To work with authors and categories, use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to pull metadata for personalization and segmentation. These help tailor newsletters and blog announcements to specific audiences. You can combine this data with templates in emails/builder to deliver targeted content.
API credentials are generated in your GHL account under API Access or Integrations. Save the keys securely, assign the correct scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly), and configure them in your Gmail integration workflow. For added security, use environment variables and rotate credentials regularly, and monitor access through your GHL admin dashboard.
