Use your GHL API credentials with the scope emails/builder.readonly to authorize calls to the Blogs API. This ensures your integration can read email templates and blog data without exposing full admin rights.
Enter your HitPay credentials and connect to the GHL Blogs API. Follow the prompts to grant HitPay access to blog posts, categories, authors, and email templates as allowed by your plan.

Trigger: A new blog post is created in HitPay
Actions: Create a new post in GHL using POST /blogs/posts; validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; assign author if available; save post metadata back to HitPay as confirmation
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: HitPay post content is updated
Actions: Update GHL post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; refresh slug if changed; propagate changes to HitPay if needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: New author added in HitPay or GHL author updated
Actions: Retrieve author list from GET /blogs/authors; update HitPay author records; map authorId to posts
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio
Automate cross-system workflows without writing code.
Keep blog content, emails, and HitPay data in sync automatically.
Install once and trigger real-time updates with events.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields you map between HitPay and the GHL Blogs API.
API stands for Application Programming Interface—a defined set of endpoints and methods that enable apps to communicate.
An endpoint is a specific URL path you call to perform an action or retrieve data in an API.
A slug is a URL-friendly string used to identify a post in the site’s address.
A webhook is a URL you register to receive event-driven notifications from another service.
Trigger a personalized blog post when a new user signs up in HitPay. Include onboarding tips and relevant product links.
Automatically publish renewal reminder posts and align email templates to boost engagement.
Sync HitPay authors with GHL and feature author-focused content across blog and email campaigns.
Collect your GHL API key and ensure the correct scope (emails/builder.readonly) is granted to the app.
Decide which endpoints you will use (for example POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors) and set HitPay triggers accordingly.
Test end-to-end flows in a staging environment and monitor logs for errors before going live.
The scope governs what your app can access in the GHL platform. For this integration, emails/builder.readonly allows read access to email templates and the builder resources used for email-related workflows. It helps keep the integration secure by limiting permissions. If you later need to write or modify templates, you’ll need higher-level permissions. Always follow the principle of least privilege. In practice, this scope ensures you can pull templates and blog data needed for automation without exposing full admin capabilities.
You can often set this up with no-code automation builders, mapping triggers to actions between HitPay and the Blogs API. Some basic configuration, such as choosing endpoints and mapping fields (title, content, slug), is required. For advanced workflows, you may add custom field mappings or conditional logic, but you can start with a straightforward, code-free setup.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness, and GET /blogs/authors to map authors. You may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content and GET /blogs/categories to assign a category. Hands-on testing ensures the flow aligns with HitPay data models.
Test in a staging environment first: simulate signups, post creation, and author changes to verify data flows correctly. Check API responses, verify that posts appear in the HitPay side, and watch logs for errors. Once the end-to-end flow passes, gradually roll out to live with monitoring in place.
Yes. You can pull author data using GET /blogs/authors. Map the authorId, name, and bio to HitPay fields as part of your post metadata. This enables accurate attribution and better content organization across platforms.
If a slug already exists, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check availability. If it’s taken, generate a new slug or append a unique suffix. You can also adjust the content workflow to auto-renew or rewrite the title to ensure a unique slug before creation.
Official documentation for the HitPay + Blogs API integration, plus community setups and best practices, can be found in the HitPay developer portal and the GHL API reference. If you need tailored guidance, contact Rankr support or your account manager for hands-on help.
