Use your GHL API credentials to authorize requests to the Blogs API endpoints listed below. Ensure the app has read and write access to blog data for posting, updating, and retrieving posts, categories, and authors.
Authenticate Homebot with the Blogs API by granting a signed token and permissions to manage blog content, categories, and authors through the integration.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts (list posts); POST /blogs/posts (create); PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update); GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug); GET /blogs/categories (list categories); GET /blogs/authors (list authors).
Trigger: when Homebot detects new client insights or activity, create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts with mapped fields.
Actions: publish immediately or schedule; optionally update or republish based on new insights; map title, content, excerpt, slug, category, and author.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, slug, category, authorId, publishedAt
Trigger: updated Homebot insights for a client trigger an update to a related blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: update title/content, refresh slug if needed, and adjust publishing date as appropriate.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, updatedAt
Trigger: on demand or scheduled sync to pull GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Actions: map and store category and author references to blog posts; keep taxonomy in sync.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Eliminate manual data entry by syncing posts, categories, and authors automatically between Homebot and the Blogs API.
Speed up content publishing with automated workflows that move content from Homebot to your blog without writing code.
Easily update posts when client insights change, keeping content fresh without touching code.
A concise glossary of terms used in this guide, including API, endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and mapping fields.
An Application Programming Interface that lets GHL and Homebot communicate and transfer data such as posts, categories, and authors.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs an action in an API (for example, GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts).
Aligning Homebot fields to the Blogs API fields (title, content, slug, category, author) to ensure correct data transfer.
A URL-friendly version of the post title used for SEO-friendly web addresses.
Automatically generate a weekly roundup blog from Homebot insights and publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Map client segments from Homebot to blog tags or categories to improve content relevance.
Use alerts or webhooks to alert marketing or content teams when a post goes live.
Obtain your Blogs API credentials from GHL and grant Homebot the required scopes for reading and writing blog data.
In Homebot, connect to endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and map title, content, slug, category, and author fields.
Run test posts, verify data flow, and enable automated publishing to go live.
Authentication is done by issuing API credentials from GHL and granting Homebot the necessary scopes to read and write blog data. Once set up, you’ll be able to create, update, and fetch posts, categories, and authors directly from Homebot. If your environment supports OAuth or API keys, follow the standard token generation workflow and securely store tokens. After authentication, test a sample POST to create a blog post to ensure permissions are correct.
For basic publishing you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and GET /blogs/posts to retrieve posts. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness before publishing. Keep in mind you’ll need to map required fields such as title, content, slug, category, and author. Optional fields include excerpt and publishedAt for scheduling.
Yes. Homebot can trigger scheduling by sending a publishAt timestamp with your POST /blogs/posts request, or by using the system’s built-in scheduler. This allows posts to go live at a chosen time without manual intervention. Test the scheduling in a staging environment before going live.
Mapping involves aligning Homebot data fields with Blog API fields. Example mappings: Homebot title → blog title, Homebot content → blog content, Homebot category → blog category, Homebot author → blog author. Validate mappings with a dry run to ensure fields transfer correctly and that IDs for categories and authors exist in the Blogs API.
If a slug exists, use the slugExists endpoint to verify uniqueness or adjust the title to generate a new slug. The API can return a suggested slug or allow you to modify the slug within your mapping logic. Handling duplicates prevents content collisions and SEO issues.
Categories and authors can be synced by periodically pulling GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and storing the reference IDs in Homebot. Map Homebot segment data to category IDs and author IDs to ensure posts are correctly categorized and attributed.
No-code options are available if your platform supports webhooks and prebuilt connectors. You can set up triggers in Homebot to call the Blogs API endpoints and map fields without writing code, providing a streamline workflow for content publishing and updates.
