Access to the Blogs API requires a secure token or API key. Ensure the correct scope is requested for reading and modifying blog data and rotate credentials regularly.
HeyGen authenticates to GHL via a trusted app credential flow. Store client_id and client_secret securely and grant only the minimum scopes needed.
Key endpoints include emails builder endpoints for templates and sending data plus blogs endpoints for posts categories authors and slug checks. Use these to map HeyGen triggers and templates to post creation updates and audience delivery.
When a new blog post is created via POST /blogs/posts, trigger an email workflow by leveraging emails/builder to select a template and send to subscribers.
Actions include creating the post, selecting or generating an email template in emails/builder, and dispatching to the desired audience.
POST /blogs/posts; GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder/data
postId, templateId, locationId, emailListId
On PUT /blogs/posts/:postId updates, regenerate or update HeyGen video assets and captions and keep the blog post in sync.
Update the post, refresh HeyGen video assets, and notify subscribers as needed.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
postId, authorId, categoryId
Run a slug existence check with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing, then generate meta titles and descriptions.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
slug, postId, categoryId
Automate blog to video workflows without writing code to generate intros summaries and social clips on publish.
Maintain brand consistency with reusable templates across email and post content.
Speed up content lifecycles with event driven automation and real time updates.
This glossary covers API endpoints methods URLs and data fields you will use to connect HeyGen with Blogs API.
Application Programming Interface a documented set of rules that lets apps communicate
A specific URL path and HTTP method to perform an action against a resource
An HTTP method used to create a new resource on the server
A URL friendly string used to identify a post or category in the path
Automatically generate a HeyGen intro video when a new post is created and attach it to the blog entry
Create a short HeyGen summary video to accompany email digests using emails builder templates
Generate bite sized clips from post content for social channels using HeyGen
Register the Apps obtain client id client secret and grant scopes for blogs and HeyGen resources
Connect POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with HeyGen triggers and email templates
Run tests with sample posts verify slug checks and monitor automation performance
Start by defining a small pilot that uses a single blog post workflow and one email template. Validate data flow end to end in a staging environment. This reduces risk while you learn the integration patterns. In parallel document the steps you used for future teams.
You do not need to be a full stack developer to begin. Familiarity with basic HTTP concepts and JSON payloads plus the provided templates makes setup straightforward. You can layer in code later if desired but it is not required for a strong start.
Yes. Endpoints can be chained in a single workflow by defining triggers and actions in the HeyGen automation. You can trigger a post creation then perform follow up calls to emails builder or blogs endpoints in sequence.
Use token based authentication with scoped access and store secrets securely. Rotate keys and use HTTPS. Implement robust error handling and retries to keep automation reliable.
SEO guidance includes crafting clear titles, metadata and descriptive slugs. Use the slug exists endpoint to avoid duplicates and enhance discoverability with proper categories and author tagging.
Yes you can test in a sandbox or staging environment. Use read only endpoints to explore structure and validate payloads before affecting live data.
Rate limits vary by plan. Monitor responses and back off on 429 errors. Batch requests where possible and cache non changing data to reduce calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
