Set up secure access by using your API key or OAuth credentials to authorize requests from Hello Bar to the Blogs API. Start by creating a project in GHL and granting the scope emails/builder.readonly or broader as needed.
To authorize Hello Bar with the Blogs API, generate an API key in Hello Bar’s connector settings and paste it into the GHL integration panel to enable seamless data flow.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET blogs/categories; GET blogs/authors; blogs/post.write; blogs/post-update.write; blogs/category.readonly; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new Hello Bar template is saved or updated, create a draft blog post in the Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish a new post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields like slug or status, mapping title, content, and excerpt from Hello Bar.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: Daily or on-demand refresh to keep author and category lists current.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate Hello Bar dropdowns and metadata fields.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, name
Trigger: When a lead is captured via Hello Bar, generate a teaser post in the Blogs API.
Actions: Create post with POST /blogs/posts using teaser content and link back to the campaign; optionally schedule publish.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: teaser, postId, status
Automate cross-promotion by linking blog posts to Hello Bar campaigns without writing code.
Keep content fresh by syncing authors and categories automatically for landing pages and templates.

This glossary covers API terms and the data flow between Hello Bar and the Blogs API to help you design and troubleshoot integrations.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in the API.
The process of proving your identity to access the API and authorize requests.
A mechanism for one service to push data to another when events occur.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post or resource in a readable way.
Automatically generate a blog teaser draft when a Hello Bar campaign is triggered, pulling the campaign title and a short snippet to seed the post content.
Pull latest author details from the Blogs API and display in Hello Bar templates to boost credibility and CTA relevance.
Link a Hello Bar schedule to post publishing in the Blogs API so campaigns publish automatically when the timer fires.
Create and verify API credentials in both services and enter them into the connector to enable secure data flow.
Match blog fields such as title, content, slug, category, and author to Hello Bar content blocks for accurate publishing.
Create automation rules that trigger blog actions from Hello Bar events and validate the data flow end-to-end.
The Blogs API lets Hello Bar create and manage blog content automatically, enabling promotions and lead-gen workflows within campaigns. It also supports reading blog metadata to keep templates up to date. By connecting Hello Bar to the Blogs API, you can drive content-driven CTAs directly from campaigns.
Yes. You will typically need API credentials or OAuth setup on both sides. The Blogs API requires access rights for blog read/write operations, while Hello Bar needs permissions to trigger actions and push data. After initial setup, you can limit scope to only what you need for the integration.
Yes. You can schedule posts by wiring a trigger from Hello Bar campaigns to the Blogs API’s publish flow. Use the blogs/posts endpoint to create and then publish or schedule posts based on campaign timing.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors. Depending on use case, you may also use GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly and GET /emails/builder for related content workflows.
Test the connection by creating a test post from Hello Bar, then verify the post appears in the Blogs API with correct title, slug, and content. Check error messages for authentication or field-mapping issues and adjust mappings as needed.
Yes. Post slugs can be updated after publishing using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify slug or other metadata. Ensure downstream links are updated and that SEO-friendly slugs remain consistent.
Rate limits and quotas vary by plan. Check the API provider dashboard for current limits, and implement retry logic and backoff in your Hello Bar workflows to stay within quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
