Authenticate requests from Groundwork to the Blogs API using your API key and OAuth credentials. Include your API key in the Authorization header and scope requests with emails/builder.readonly for reading templates and blogs/* for publishing.
Groundwork uses standard OAuth 2.0 or API key pairing with the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. Use a test environment before going live.

Trigger on approved content in Groundwork to create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts
Actions: validate slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), then create post (POST /blogs/posts) and publish with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Methods: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: title, slug, content, category, author, status
Trigger to check slug existence before publishing
Actions: verify slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; if available, proceed to create/update post; enrich with category/author endpoints
Methods: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: slug, title, metadata, category, author

To authenticate, use your API key and ensure the request includes the Authorization header: Bearer
For publishing a blog post, you typically use POST /blogs/posts with payload containing title, slug, content, and status. You may also update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and validate the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Before publishing, query GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is available. If the slug exists, you can skip or modify the slug and retry.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including publishDate in the payload and triggering via Groundwork workflows, and use emails/schedule to notify subscribers. Coordinate posting with your content calendar for timely delivery.
Permissions depend on your GHL API plan. For reading templates and publishing posts you will need: emails/builder.readonly and blogs/* (or write) scopes. Limit exposure to only required endpoints and rotate credentials regularly.
Test in a sandbox or dev environment with test API keys. Make small POST/PUT calls to create and update sample posts. Verify responses, check status codes, and review any error messages in the API console.
API keys are issued from the Blogs API developer portal. Look for client credentials and secret keys. Store securely, configure in Groundwork’s connections page, and rotate keys periodically.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
