To access the Blogs API from GoTo Connect you’ll authorize with OAuth and request the scope: emails/builder.readonly. Use the provided client credentials to obtain an access token and attach it to API requests.
Set up your GoTo Connect app credentials and grant permission to use the Blogs API endpoints. This ensures triggers, actions, and data flows can run securely.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId.
Trigger: draft saved in GoTo Connect’s workflow prompts a post creation in Blogs API
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate the slug, fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories to populate fields
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: an existing post is edited in GoTo Connect
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm slug, optionally publish status changes
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: need to refresh categories and authors data in GoTo Connect
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns; use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug availability before creating new posts
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categories[].id, authors[].id
Publish blogs and manage content from a single no-code workflow
Automate slug checks and metadata population to reduce manual steps
Centralized control of posts, authors, and categories across the Apps
Definitions of common terms you’ll encounter when building this integration, including triggers, actions, endpoints, and data fields.
An event that starts a workflow between the GHL Blogs API and GoTo Connect, such as creating a new blog draft.
A task performed in response to a trigger, like posting a new article or updating an existing one.
A URL-friendly version of the post title used to form the final link.
A label used to group posts into topics such as News, Tips, or Updates.
When a new email draft is saved in the Emails Builder, automatically create a blog post using the Blogs API and link it to the same author.
Poll the Blogs API for authors and categories to populate dropdowns in the app, ensuring consistent metadata.
Before publishing, verify slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
Complete OAuth for the Blogs API and grant GoTo Connect the necessary scopes to read and write blog data.
Configure triggers and actions, selecting endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors.
Run end-to-end tests, validate data integrity, and deploy to production with monitoring.
Yes. Core endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them, as well as GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. You can also fetch metadata with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields. Integrations can be built in a no-code environment using triggers and actions that map to these endpoints.
You will typically need credentials for both the GoTo Connect app and the Blogs API. The GoTo Connect app uses OAuth to access the Blogs API endpoints, and you should configure client IDs, secrets, and the required scope. The Blogs API credentials are scoped to allow reading and writing blog content as defined by the integration.
The required scope for read access in this context is emails/builder.readonly. Additional scopes may be added for write access depending on your use case. Ensure your token includes the necessary scope before making requests to read blog data.
Slug uniqueness is ensured by querying GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a new post. If the slug already exists, adjust the title or slug, then retry. This prevents duplicate URLs and maintains clean SEO indexing.
Yes. You can create (POST /blogs/posts), update (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and publish posts from GoTo Connect. The workflow can be configured to automatically publish once validation passes and the content meets criteria.
Fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories. Use these responses to populate choice fields in GoTo Connect so editors can assign authors and categorize posts consistently.
No-code integration is possible. Use the triggers and actions mapping to the Blogs API endpoints to build a fully functional workflow without writing code. The setup includes OAuth authentication, field mapping, and endpoint calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
