Begin by creating a GHL API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly to access blog data, then configure it in Hoops. This read-only access helps protect your content while enabling post retrieval, slug checks, and metadata.
In Hoops, create or select the GHL connection and authorize access to your Blogs API data. This establishes the secure channel used by all automated workflows.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. Endpoints listed show typical create, update, and read actions used to synchronize content, metadata, and scheduling.
Trigger: When a new blog post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) and becomes available to sync.
Actions: Create a corresponding Hoops post with title, content, slug, author, categories, and published_at.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, author, categories, published_at
Trigger: Blogs post updated (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) in Blogs API.
Actions: Update the matching Hoops post fields (title, content, slug, metadata).
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, updated_at
Trigger: Changes to blog categories or authors in Blogs API (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Actions: Update Hoops post metadata with the latest categories and authors.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categories, authors
Automate publishing workflows between Blogs API and Hoops to save time and reduce manual posting.
Maintain content consistency by syncing metadata, authors, and categories across platforms.
Scale publishing with repeatable, error-tolerant automations and centralized logging.
This glossary defines essential terms such as GHL API, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings used to connect Blogs API with Hoops.
The GHL API is a RESTful interface that lets apps read and write data to your GHL account, including blogs, emails, and scheduling.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access resources in the GHL API (for example, GET /blogs/authors).
An event in the GHL that starts an automation, such as a new blog post or an update to a post.
Aligning fields between GHL data and Hoops to ensure correct data transfer (title, content, slug, etc.).
When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically push a summary to Hoops and connected social accounts.
Attach SEO-friendly metadata from Blogs API (tags, categories) to Hoops posts for better discovery.
Send a daily digest of new Blogs API posts to Hoops, with highlights and links.
In the GHL account, generate an API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and configure it in Hoops.
Map title, content, slug, author, and categories to their counterparts in Blogs API.
Run tests, validate webhooks, and enable automatic posting and updates.
The GHL API is a RESTful interface that lets apps access and manage your content. To get started, generate an API key in the GHL account with the necessary scope (emails/builder.readonly) and securely connect it in Hoops. This enables read-only access to blog data so you can pull posts, categories, authors, and related metadata. Make sure credentials are stored securely and rotated as needed.
For blogging, you’ll typically use endpoints that create, update, and fetch posts, categories, and authors. Examples include POST /blogs/posts to publish new content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/categories to synchronize metadata. Depending on your workflow, you may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs and GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly.
Map the source fields to destination fields in Hoops: title -> title, content -> content, slug -> slug, author and categories -> their corresponding references in Blogs API. Use consistent data types and consider transforming content (HTML to your editor) if needed. Testing the mapping with sample posts helps prevent data drift.
No-code setups are supported by the Zapier-style connector, making it possible to connect blogs and Hoops without writing custom code. However, basic configuration, field mapping, and endpoint selection require careful setup. If you need advanced logic, you can supplement with lightweight scripting inside your automation tool.
Use a test environment or a sandbox connection to verify triggers, actions, and data mappings. Validate that new posts, updates, and metadata flow correctly from Blogs API into Hoops, and review logs for any errors. Once the tests pass, deploy to production with monitoring.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. When designing automations, batch requests where possible, space out heavy operations, and implement retries with exponential backoff. Hoops and Blogs API typically provide error codes to help diagnose throttling and quota issues.
Yes. You can synchronize existing posts, categories, and authors by performing a one-time pull of current data and then subscribing to ongoing changes. Plan a migration window and monitor the delta between systems to ensure no content is missed.
