Authenticate by generating an API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and include it in your requests. Use secure storage and rotate keys regularly.
Use your Blogs API credentials to authorize calls to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories.
Key endpoints you may use in this integration include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use these to create, update, fetch posts, manage emails, and pull metadata.
Trigger in GHL (form, webhook, or automation) creates a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create, update, publish; schedule posting when needed.
POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Required: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger in GHL can schedule or publish immediately using the Blogs API.
Actions: create post, update post, publish, and optionally set a slug.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: title, slug, content, status, scheduledTime
Fetch and keep categories and authors in sync with Blogs API data.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to refresh metadata.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Fields: categoryId, name; authorId, name
No custom coding required—build automated blog workflows in minutes.
Centralize content creation, publishing, and analytics from a single dashboard.
Real-time data sync ensures your blog data stays fresh across tools.
Definitions and processes used in this integration.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules enabling software to communicate.
A specific URL path in an API used to perform an action.
Process of proving identity to access an API, typically via API keys or OAuth.
URL-friendly identifier used in links and routing.
Capture form submissions in GHL and push a new blog post to Blogs API.
Aggregate content and publish a weekly roundup using the Blogs API.
Use GHL to assign categories and tags when creating posts.
Generate an API key in GHL with the required scope and securely store it.
Select endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors to fetch data.
Run tests and enable trigger-based automation in GHL.
Yes. You can set up no-code workflows using GHL automations and the Blogs API without writing code. The platform supports triggers, actions, and webhooks. If you need more complex logic, you can chain steps or use conditional paths within your workflow.
For basic publishing you need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to create posts and assign metadata. You can also check URL slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique URLs.
Yes. Scheduling posts is supported by including a scheduledTime field when creating or updating a post. GHL can trigger the publish at the scheduled time using the Blogs API.
Authenticate with API keys that have least-privilege scopes and store them securely. Rotate keys regularly and use HTTPS for all requests. Consider optional OAuth if supported by the API.
Test the connection in a staging or sandbox environment by making sample requests. Verify responses, handle errors, and review API logs to troubleshoot.
Real-time sync depends on your trigger configuration. Some updates push immediately; others may require polling or scheduled tasks. Design with retries for reliability.
Implement retry logic and exponential backoff. Use clear error messages from API responses to guide remediation. Monitor rate limits to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
