To access the Blogs API, your Grok by xAI app must request the emails/builder.readonly scope and use a valid API key or OAuth token issued by your GHL account. Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
Grok by xAI authenticates to the Blogs API using OAuth client credentials and an API key tied to your GHL account. Grant the app the emails/builder.readonly scope and store tokens securely. For server-to-server, use a short-lived access token with refresh.

Build email templates that automatically pull blog content into campaigns.
No-code options are available with Grok by xAI. You can visually wire endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts to automate templates and campaigns without writing code. The platform provides drag-and-drop logic to map blog data into email content blocks. If you prefer code, you can still leverage custom scripts, but coding is not required for standard automations.
Essential endpoints typically include GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST /blogs/posts to create new blog records, and POST /emails/builder/data to populate email templates with blog content. Depending on your flow, you may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts and GET /blogs/authors to personalize campaigns by author.
Use OAuth or API keys tied to your GHL account and restrict scopes to emails/builder.readonly. Store tokens securely and rotate credentials regularly. Use environment variables or a secrets manager to avoid exposure in your templates or workflows.
Yes. By using the Blogs API endpoints for multiple authors, you can segment newsletters by author and distribute content to different subscriber lists. The key is to pull author data from GET /blogs/authors and map it to appropriate email templates and campaigns.
Recommended scopes include emails/builder.readonly for safety and visibility. Depending on your needs, you may grant additional write scope for templates if your workflow creates or updates content. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Test the integration in a staging environment first. Use sample blog posts and templates, verify that data maps correctly to email blocks, and monitor trigger events. Use logs and activity dashboards to validate end-to-end delivery before going live.
Example workflows are available in the Grok by xAI documentation and in your app’s workflow builder. Look for templates that map blog post properties to email blocks, and try the 3-step connection guide to reproduce common automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
