Authenticate to the GHL API using OAuth 2.0. Request the emails/builder.readonly scope to access email templates and builders, then securely store tokens and refresh as needed.
Your app will authenticate to GHL via API keys or OAuth, depending on the platform. Use the provided client credentials to obtain access tokens and keep them secure.
Key endpoints 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
Actions: push post data to Google Groups thread, update email templates, and notify subscribers.
Methods: GET /blogs/posts to retrieve posts; POST /blogs/posts to publish; GET emails/builder to fetch templates
Key fields: postId, title, slug, status
Trigger: A blog post is saved as draft
Actions: send draft to Google Groups for comments; update post status based on feedback
Methods: GET blogs/posts?status=draft; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, draftComment, status
Trigger: A post is updated or archived
Actions: update Google Groups post, notify subscribers, archive in system

The Blogs API lets you manage blog posts, categories, authors, and email templates from your app. It supports common operations like create, update, and check-slug to ensure unique slugs. You can also publish and schedule posts and send email templates to subscribers. To connect to GHL, authorize your app using OAuth 2.0 with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store tokens securely and refresh them before expiry.
Required scopes include emails/builder.readonly for reading email templates and builder actions. Depending on your use-case, you may request additional scopes for write access. For this page, readonly access ensures safe read operations while exploring capabilities.
Yes. Update endpoints (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) to modify content and status. You can also update related templates and trigger notifications. Be mindful of published state and slug implications when editing live posts. Always validate changes in a test environment before applying to production.
Use test sandboxes or mock data to simulate flows between Blogs API, App, and GHL. Execute end-to-end calls for post creation, editing, and email/template updates. Check API responses and ensure authentication tokens are valid and scoped correctly.
If a token expires, use the refresh token flow to obtain a new access token. If refresh fails, re-authenticate the connection and re-establish tokens. Monitor token lifetimes and implement automated refresh where possible.
There can be rate limits on API calls. Plan requests in batches, implement exponential backoff, and cache non-critical data to reduce repeated calls. Review endpoint quotas in the API docs for best results.
Refer to the API documentation for sample payloads, including post objects and email templates. Start with the provided examples and adapt to APPNAME requirements. Use sandbox data for experimenting before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
