Obtain an API key from the Blogs API dashboard and enter it in your GHL integration settings to authorize requests securely. If available, use OAuth for token-based access.
Store and manage the APPNAME credentials securely. Rotate keys regularly and use a secrets manager when possible.
Common endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a new blog post is created in Blogs API, push the post to GHL via POST /blogs/posts and update related assets.
Actions: create or update blog post, generate slug, push to Google Ads assets, notify teams.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, author, category
Trigger: publish event in Blogs API triggers an email notification in GHL via emails/schedule.
Actions: draft email, schedule send using emails/schedule, and update templates.
Methods/Paths: GET emails/schedule and POST emails/builder (to create email content)
Key fields: locationId, templateId, scheduledTime
Trigger: upon slug creation, check existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Actions: enforce slug uniqueness, create categories and author associations, update post slug.
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: slug, title
Faster deployment: connect pages and ads workflows without custom code.
Easier maintenance: centralized automation across channels.
Consistent data across Google Ads, email, and blog platforms.
This glossary covers API endpoints, authentication, data fields, and common workflows used in the Blogs API to GHL integration with Google Ads.
A specific URL path that performs a defined action when called by your app.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post in URLs and in the CMS.
A secure authorization protocol that allows apps to access user data without sharing passwords.
An HTTP callback that notifies your app in real time when an event occurs.
Automatically generate ad assets (headlines, descriptions) from new blog content and push them to Google Ads via the Blogs API.
Enforce consistent slug and title patterns; auto-update SEO metadata in GHL.
Publish blog updates to email newsletters, social, and ads using pre-built templates.
Collect API keys and OAuth tokens from the Blogs API and your GHL admin panel.
Set the required endpoint paths in the connector to match available API endpoints (as listed above).
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flows, and then enable automation in production.
No coding is required. You can map endpoints, set triggers, and define actions using the built-in connectors in GHL. This lets you automate blog-to-ads workflows without writing code. If you need advanced logic, you can add conditional steps, custom webhooks, or fallback paths within the same no-code interface.
Essential endpoints for Google Ads workflows typically include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), fetching categories/authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors), and scheduling emails (GET/POST emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder). By chaining these calls, you can publish content, verify URL integrity, and surface related assets in Ads and emails automatically.
Authentication uses an API key or OAuth token generated in the Blogs API dashboard. In GHL, add the token to the Authorization header of each request. For higher security, prefer OAuth and rotate credentials regularly, store secrets securely, and limit scope to the minimum required permissions.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment if available, and enable test mode in the connector to simulate calls without touching production data. Review logs, responses, and error messages to verify behavior before going live, and implement retries for transient failures.
Slug duplicates are prevented by checking existing slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post. If a duplicate is detected, prompt for a new slug or auto-suggest a unique slug and reflect changes in your templates.
API credentials are available in the Blogs API dashboard and in the GHL Integrations area. Look for keys or OAuth clients labeled for the Google Ads integration. Store credentials securely, and rotate them on a schedule or after personnel changes.
Code-free integrations dramatically speed up deployment by removing coding requirements and enabling visual workflow building. They also simplify maintenance, provide centralized governance, and ensure consistent data across GHL, Blogs API, Google Ads, and email channels.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
