To connect you will generate a GHL API token with the required scopes for reading emails and managing blogs. Store the token securely and rotate it regularly.
Register HotspotSystem as an app in your GHL account then configure client credentials. Use OAuth or token based flow to authorize requests and keep credentials secret.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Trigger: When new content is created in HotspotSystem, a matching blog post is created in the Blogs API.
Actions: create or update blog posts with title content slug status categories and authorId.
Method: POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, content, slug, status, categories, authorId
Trigger: Draft changes in HotspotSystem push to Blogs as unpublished posts
Actions: update existing posts and sync tags and SEO fields
Method: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: HotspotSystem metadata enriches blog posts in Blogs
Actions: attach SEO title and meta description, set open graph data
Method: POST /blogs/posts
Fields: title, content, seoTitle, metaDescription, image

The Blogs API integration lets HotspotSystem interact with your blog content programmatically. You can create publish and update posts directly from HotspotSystem using standard REST endpoints. No code is required for basic setup. You will configure API credentials and map endpoints in the UI and the adapter handles the requests securely.
Yes you can set up without code using the GHL UI and built in actions. For advanced scenarios you may need light scripting but most common use cases are achievable through configuration alone. If you do need custom logic you can extend with optional scripting or middleware as needed.
Publishing posts uses endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can specify title content slug status and metadata to control how posts appear on your blog. You can also retrieve slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
Scheduling posts is supported by creating posts with a publish date or by integrating with your content calendar in HotspotSystem. If you use the blogs/schedule endpoints you can align publication times with marketing campaigns.
Authentication is handled via API tokens or OAuth. Keep credentials secure, rotate tokens regularly, and restrict scopes to only what is needed for the integration. Use environment variables or a secrets manager to protect credentials.
API call limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint type. If you hit limits, requests may throttle or fail temporarily. To mitigate this implement exponential backoff retries and monitor usage with the provided dashboards.
SEO metadata is supported through fields like seoTitle and metaDescription on blog posts. You can attach open graph data and ensure slugs are unique to improve search visibility. Keep SEO fields synchronized with HotspotSystem to maximize content performance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
