To start, generate an API key in your Blogs API (GHL) dashboard and securely store it. Use this key to authorize requests from Google Slides and your automation tools.
Google Slides authenticates via OAuth 2.0 to access the Blogs API. Ensure the Google Cloud project for the Slides integration has the proper scopes and consent screen configured.
Key endpoints you may leverage include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and blogs/check-slug.readonly. Use these to fetch posts, verify slugs, create and update posts, and pull category or author data for slides.
Trigger: New blog post published in Blogs API.
Actions: Create or update a Google Slides deck with the post title, summary, and a link.
Method/Path: Use POST /blogs/posts to push new post data via Zapier’s Google Slides integration.
Key fields: postId, title, excerpt, date, slug, link.
Trigger: Scheduled checks for new posts or on-demand via a custom menu.
Actions: Fetch posts with GET /blogs/posts and write content into Slides using the Slides API.
Method/Path: Use REST calls to /blogs/posts and related endpoints with Google Apps Script.
Key fields: postId, title, summary, imageUrl, publishDate.
Trigger: Client-defined events for new or updated posts.
Actions: Map blog data to slides templates and publish to Google Slides decks.
Method/Path: Use the integration platform’s connectors to move data from Blogs API to Slides.
Key fields: postId, title, content, featuredImage, tags.
No-code setup makes it easy for content teams to automate slide creation without developers.
Faster publishing workflows by turning new posts into ready-to-present slides.
Centralized content assets and consistent branding across your slide decks.
A quick glossary of terms used in this guide to help you implement the integration.
GHL is the abbreviation used for the GHL API and platform referenced in this guide, standing for the GHL ecosystem.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in the Blogs API.
The authorization framework used by Google Slides to securely access the Blogs API on your behalf.
A URL-friendly, unique identifier used to find or create blog posts in the API.
Whenever a new post goes live in Blogs API, a slide deck is generated with the post title, excerpt, and a link to the full article.
Create a concise summary slide with key takeaways that can be shared in team updates or client reports.
Compile weekly blog highlights into a single Google Slides digest to circulate to stakeholders.
Authorize Google Slides to access the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 and your API key.
Select the endpoints you need (publish posts, fetch categories, check slug) and map data fields to slides templates.
Run test posts, verify slide content, and set up automated triggers for new posts.
You do not need to be a developer for basic setup. The no-code path uses Zapier or Apps Script to connect Blogs API to Google Slides. If you require more complex flows, a developer can implement custom automation. Use sandbox or test data to validate mappings first.
For creating slides from posts, utilize endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish or update posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Map post fields (title, excerpt, date) to your slide templates.
OAuth 2.0 is recommended for a secure connection between Google Slides and the Blogs API. It enables token refresh and scoped access. If you opt for API keys, store and rotate them securely.
Yes. Define mappings from blog fields (title, excerpt, image, tags) to placeholders in your slide templates. Tools like Zapier or Apps Script can help implement these mappings.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test posts to verify layout and data bindings before going live with production decks.
API credentials are located in the Blogs API (GHL) dashboard under API Access. Create a key or OAuth client and grant access to Google Slides.
Most endpoints support standard retries. If you encounter rate limits, implement exponential backoff and respect 429 responses; the docs provide retry guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
