To call any endpoint you must authenticate with valid credentials for your GHL project and use the correct access tokens. Secure handling and rotation of keys is essential.
Grow uses secure tokens to authorize calls to the Blogs API. Configure credentials in Grow’s connections panel, store them securely, and rotate them regularly.
ENDPOINTS: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors

Automate blog publishing and updates without writing code; build workflows inside Grow using existing actions and triggers.
Keep content consistent across campaigns by reusing categories and authors data.
Centralized data access lets reporting and SEO optimization run on schedule.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and the process flows used to connect Grow with the Blogs API.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in the GHL platform.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the link to the post.
A real-time notification sent by GHL to your app when an event occurs.
A published article entry within a blog, containing title, content, and metadata.
Use Grow triggers to assemble drafts from templates and publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Before publishing, check slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust as needed.
Sync authors and categories to align posts with campaigns and schedule postings in Grow.
Create API credentials for Blogs API and configure in Grow’s Connections panel.
Select the endpoints you will use (for example POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Run test calls, verify data flows, and enable automations in Grow to publish, update, and track posts.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to create, read, update, and delete blog content within GHL. It exposes posts, categories, authors, and slug-check functionality that you can leverage from Grow. The Grow integration adds no-code workflow capabilities, allowing you to trigger posts, updates, and SEO checks entirely within the Grow interface.
To publish a blog post, use POST /blogs/posts with required fields like title, content, slug, category, and author. You can also update a post later with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Before publishing, you can verify slug availability via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. The combination supports automated content creation and slug management.
Slug collisions occur when two posts share the same slug. The GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists endpoint returns whether a slug already exists. If a collision is detected, Grow can automatically adjust by appending a timestamp or sequence number to create a unique slug. Check, then resolve to ensure uniqueness.
Yes. You can pull categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and then map them into Grow campaigns for enrichments and filters. This enables taxonomy-driven publishing and consistent author attribution across posts, aiding SEO and organization.
No coding is required for basic integrations. Grow’s workflow builder and endpoint actions let you connect to the Blogs API with clicks and configuration. For advanced needs, you can insert custom scripts or webhooks if you’re comfortable with code.
Authentication issues usually come from invalid tokens or expired credentials. Verify you have valid API credentials and that your requests include proper authorization headers. If problems persist, re-authorize the connection, refresh tokens, and confirm the correct scopes are granted.
Scheduling blog posts in Grow uses the Blogs API to queue posts for publish at a chosen time. You can combine scheduling with update actions to ensure content goes live when needed. Use the relevant endpoints to set publish times and monitor status for any delays.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
