Requests to the Blogs API require a valid API key or OAuth token with the appropriate scopes. For this page, ensure the token includes access to basic builder data and blog endpoints. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
iDecide uses a secure connection via the Zapier App Connector to manage tokens and field mappings. Connect the Blogs API once, then test endpoints and map data to your content templates without writing code.

Automate content workflows without writing code, reducing manual steps.
Maintain centralized data synchronization between Blogs and your marketing stack in real time.
Minimize errors with consistent data mapping and validation across posts, authors, and categories.
Key concepts include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping when integrating GHL Blogs API with iDecide.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined action on the GHL Blogs API.
The process of proving your identity to access a protected API, typically via OAuth or API keys.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in the URL
A mechanism for real-time notifications when events occur in an app.
When a draft is approved in iDecide, automatically create a blog post in Blogs using POST /blogs/posts and schedule publishing.
Keep author bios and avatars aligned by syncing GET /blogs/authors data into iDecide author profiles.
Before publishing, verify slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Obtain API keys or OAuth tokens with the required scopes (emails/builder.readonly and blog permissions) for iDecide to access Blogs API.
Add a new connection in the iDecide workflow, select the Blogs API connector, and authorize access using your credentials.
Create triggers and actions for posts, authors, and categories, and map data between Blogs API and iDecide.
Yes. The Blogs API integration with iDecide lets you publish, update, and manage blog content from iDecide workflows. It empowers teams to automate publishing without writing code. You control which endpoints you connect and what data you map.
You typically use a single API connection that includes multiple endpoint capabilities. Separate keys are not required unless you need highly granular permissions. The Zapier App Connector can scope access to the necessary endpoints for your automation.
Required scopes vary by endpoint. Commonly you will need emails/builder.readonly to read emails and blogs, plus write permissions for post creation and updates. Always align scopes with the actions you plan to perform.
Yes. With the correct scopes and endpoints, you can create new posts in Blogs directly from iDecide flows, then manage status and publish timing from the same workflow.
Slug conflicts happen when two posts share the same slug. Use the slug existence check GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing, and implement a naming convention to generate unique slugs.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. If you hit limits, spread requests over time, and use batch operations where supported. Caching common responses can reduce calls.
Support is available for common endpoints. For custom needs or new endpoints, you can contact support to request endpoint coverage and guidance on best practices.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
