Begin by creating a GHL API integration for Blogs API, generate API keys, and define the required scope emails/builder.readonly to fetch blog templates and related data.
Grant consent for access to Google Workspace resources as needed by your workflows. Ensure the required Gmail, Drive, or Calendar scopes are allowed in your app consent screen.
Key endpoints covered in this guide include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.

Build complex automations without writing code, using visual triggers and actions in GHL
Reuse templates and endpoint calls across teams to scale publishing and notification workflows
Speed up onboarding with prebuilt connectors and clear mappings between Blogs API and Google Workspace Admin
Define terms you will see in this guide, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used for mapping between Blogs API and GHL within Google Workspace Admin.
A specific URL path on the GHL API used to perform a defined operation such as reading templates or posting a new blog.
A published or draft article created through the Blogs API and surfaced in your GHL workflows.
A URL-friendly string that uniquely identifies a post for routing and SEO purposes.
A tool or feature used to schedule publication or notifications.
Trigger a workflow that generates a ready-to-send email template in Builder as soon as a new blog post is created.
Automatically compose and send a digest of the week’s posts to specified Google Groups or Gmail lists.
Notify your team instantly when a publish or update fails, with quick remediation steps.
Create the API integration for Blogs API in GHL, generate keys, and grant access to Google Workspace resources as needed.
Map the Blogs API endpoints to your GHL workflows and test calls.
Create a dashboard or automation in GHL to publish posts and notify teams automatically.
The Blogs API enables programmatic access to blog content, templates, and related data from your GHL workflows. You can read templates, create or update posts, and manage scheduling data via the API. You can also build automated processes that publish new content and trigger email notifications to subscribers without writing code.
In most cases you can connect the two systems with no code by using GHL’s built-in connectors and no-code workflows. You may need a simple API key and a few mapping steps to tie endpoints to actions. If you prefer custom logic, you can augment this with small scripts, but the goal is to keep it low or no code.
Supported Google Workspace Admin features include Gmail-based notifications, and integration with Drive or Calendar where workflows require sharing or scheduling. Depending on scope, you may access emails, calendars, and groups data via API calls.
Authenticate by generating an API key for the Blogs API in GHL and granting the app permission to access the required scopes. UseOAuth where supported, and store tokens securely in your GHL account.
Core endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and category management (GET /blogs/categories).
Test with a staging environment or a sandbox workspace in GHL. Use sample posts and templates to verify end-to-end data flows and error handling.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API reference. You can also explore topic guides and example payloads to understand request and response formats.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
