Authenticate with GHL using OAuth tokens to securely access the Blogs API endpoints from your Google Sheets project.
Securely authorize Google Sheets to access the Blogs API via OAuth 2.0, enabling read/write data between your spreadsheet and your blog content.
Core endpoints used with the Blogs API in Google Sheets:\n- POST /blogs/posts (create a post)\n- PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update a post)\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug availability)\n- GET /blogs/categories (list categories)\n- GET /blogs/authors (list authors)\n- GET /blogs/posts (retrieve posts) (where available in your setup)
Trigger: When a new row for a post is added or an existing row is updated in Sheets.
Action: Use POST /blogs/posts to create or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; sync title, slug, date, author, and category fields.
Method path examples: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, publishDate, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: When a post is marked as draft in Sheets.
Actions: Create or update a draft in Blogs API; notify collaborators directly from Sheets.
Method path example: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, status, slug
Trigger: When you set a publish date in Sheets.
Actions: Update publishDate and status via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; reflect changes in your sheet and calendar.
Method path example: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, publishDate, status
No code means you can automate data flow without writing a line of code, saving time and reducing mistakes.
Real-time data sync lets teams review posts, authors, and categories in Sheets while publishing updates to Blogs API automatically.
Templates, validations, and approval workflows in Sheets streamline content production and publication.
This section defines terms, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields you’ll encounter when linking GHL Blogs API with Google Sheets.
Application Programming Interface; a defined set of endpoints that let Google Sheets access and manipulate Blogs data from GHL.
A URL-friendly, unique identifier for a blog post, often used in URLs and SEO.
A blog entry created in Blogs API, containing title, content, metadata, and publication details.
A planned publication date and time for a post, used to automate publishing workflows.
Map publish dates in Sheets to blog posts in Blogs API to automate scheduling and publishing.
Capture draft outlines in Sheets and push to Blogs API with a single click for faster review.
Use Sheets to route approvals and automatically update post status in Blogs API.
Generate a client ID/secret and configure the required OAuth scope for blogs endpoints.
Complete the OAuth flow to grant Sheets access to your Blogs API data.
Connect your Sheet columns to endpoint fields and run tests with sample data to validate mapping.
Answer: The integration uses OAuth 2.0 tokens to securely authorize Google Sheets to access the Blogs API through GHL. You authenticate once and securely refresh tokens as needed. This keeps your data safe while enabling automated reads and writes.\nTwo-factor authentication and scopes ensure only the required endpoints (posts, categories, authors) are accessible.
Answer: Core endpoints include creating (POST /blogs/posts), updating (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and reading lists for categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors). Depending on your setup, you may also leverage additional post-update operations.\nThese endpoints power no-code workflows from Sheets to Blogs and back, enabling robust content pipelines.
Answer: No traditional coding is required. Use the built-in connectors to map sheet columns to endpoint fields, configure triggers, and set up actions. The result is a visual, rule-based integration that automates data sync between Google Sheets and Blogs API via GHL.\nIf you need advanced logic, you can still add lightweight formulas in Sheets to transform data before it’s sent.
Answer: Yes. You can map fields such as title, slug, publishDate, author, and category from a Google Sheet to the corresponding Blog post fields in Blogs API. Use clear column headers and data formats so the mapping is consistent.\nValidation rules can be added in Sheets to prevent invalid data from being sent to Blogs API.
Answer: Categories and authors are read from the respective endpoints (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors). You can pull these lists into Sheets as dropdowns and reference them when creating or updating posts.\nThis keeps taxonomy aligned between your Sheets and your blog content.
Answer: Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the specific endpoints used. Plan for bursts if many posts are created at once and implement retries with exponential backoff.\nCaching and batching updates in Sheets can help manage limits while preserving data integrity.
Answer: Start with a test spreadsheet using sample posts. Connect to Blogs API, perform a small set of reads and writes, and verify data in both Sheets and your blog. Use sandbox or test endpoints if available.\nGradually expand the data flow once you’re comfortable with mappings and triggers.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
