Begin by creating an API key for the Blogs API in the GHL account and granting the required scopes for read and write access.
In GoDaddy CRM, generate an API token and connect it to the Blogs API app name so data can flow securely between systems.
Key endpoints used in this integration include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts. These endpoints enable pulling blog data, creating email content, updating templates, and managing categories and authors within the connected workflow.
When a new blog post is published in the Blogs API, automatically create an email draft in the Emails Builder with the post title and a link to the post.
Actions: populate subject with post title, insert post URL, assign to a recipient list, and save as a draft. Optional scheduling can be added.
POST /emails/builder
postTitle, postUrl, recipientList, emailTemplateId
When a blog post is updated, refresh the corresponding email content to reflect changes.
Actions: update email builder data via PUT /emails/builder/data and update the blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, updatedFields
Before publishing, verify slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: if slug exists, adjust and retry; otherwise create a new post and linked email sequence.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
No-code data sync between Blogs API and GoDaddy CRM saves time and reduces manual steps.
Drag-and-drop automation builder lets you connect endpoints without writing code.
Fast onboarding and scalable content-driven outreach without developers.
This glossary defines core terms used in the integration between GHL and GoDaddy CRM via the Blogs API and Emails Builder.
The API interface exposed by GHL for connecting apps and automations to extend workflows.
A published or draft article in the Blogs API within the GoDaddy CRM workflow used to trigger emails and automations.
A module in GHL used to compose, customize, and send email content to recipients.
A URL-friendly, unique identifier for a blog post that helps with SEO and routing.
Trigger a welcome email sequence whenever a new post goes live to onboard readers and drive engagement.
Automatically generate social snippets from blog content and post them to social channels via GoDaddy CRM.
Send weekly or monthly digests to segments based on engagement and interests.
Create an API key with the required scopes in GHL (emails/builder.readonly for reading and emails/builder.write for writing).
Map Blogs API endpoints to GHL actions in the Zapier App Connector and define field mappings for posts, slugs, and categories.
Run end-to-end tests to ensure blog posts trigger emails as expected, then enable the automation for live use.
No coding is required for a basic connection. The integration relies on standard REST endpoints and a no-code automation builder to connect GHL with the Blogs API. Advanced custom actions can be added if your team has development resources, but most setups are achievable via the app connector UI. The key is to configure the correct scopes and map fields between systems.
Essential endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. These provide the core flow: fetch blog data, create or update email content, and manage posts. Optional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors enhance filtering and targeting.
Yes. You can set up a schedule to automatically send emails after a blog post goes live. Use the Emails Builder to draft templates and configure scheduling rules in the automation builder so subscribers receive timely updates.
GoDaddy CRM needs read and write access to the Blogs API endpoints used in your flow. Typical permissions include emails/builder.readonly, emails/builder.write, and blogs/post-write. These ensure you can read blog data, create or update email content, and publish posts when needed.
Testing involves running a closed-loop workflow: create or fetch a test blog post, verify slug existence, generate an email draft, and simulate sending or scheduling to a test audience. Monitor logs in both GHL and GoDaddy CRM to confirm data flows and correct field mappings.
Webhook support and event triggers are typically available in the integration platform or via GoDaddy CRM’s webhook capabilities. If webhook endpoints are required, configure them to alert your systems of new posts or updates, and test that events fire as expected.
