Authenticate with a secure API key and the required scope. For read/write access to builder data, include scope emails/builder.readonly in the request and keep credentials secret.
Inblog uses API tokens issued in your Inblog dashboard. Create a connection, paste the API key, and authorize the link to the Blogs API.

An authorization framework that issues access tokens without sharing user credentials.
A specific URL path representing a function in an API, such as retrieving or updating a post.
A URL-friendly string used for routing and SEO.
Trigger a POST /blogs/posts when a new CMS draft is saved in your workflow.
When a draft is updated in Inblog, push updates with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Create scheduled posts and reflect publish status across channels using Blogs API.
In GHL, generate an API key with scope emails/builder.readonly and copy the key.
In Inblog, select Blogs API as the connection, paste the key, and authorize.
Run test calls to GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts to verify the integration, then enable automations.
Blogs API is the external interface that lets apps read, create, update, and manage blog posts, categories, and authors. It exposes endpoints across the posts, categories, and authors data sets that Inblog can automate. You’ll typically authenticate with a secure API key scoped to the data you need (such as emails/builder.readonly for builder data) and configure the connector to perform the required actions without writing code.
The available endpoints cover creating, updating, listing, and validating posts, as well as managing categories and authors. Common examples include POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to edit, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs, and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for metadata. In the Inblog integration, you’ll typically map post fields (title, content, slug, author, category) to these endpoints to automate publishing workflows.
No traditional coding is required. The Inblog connector provides a no-code interface to map fields and trigger API calls. You simply supply your API key and connect the endpoints you want to use, then configure automations and schedules visually. If you need advanced logic, you can add multi-step flows or custom scripts, but many teams achieve full automation with the built-in mapping tools.
You’ll typically use an API key with the required scope. Some setups use OAuth tokens, but the common approach is a secure key that you store in a safe place and refresh as needed. Always keep credentials confidential and apply the principle of least privilege. Inblog will handle token storage securely and prompt you to re-authenticate if a token expires.
Yes. The Blogs API supports scheduling via dedicated fields and endpoints or by using a publish date. You can create a post with a future publish date and let Inblog automate the publication when the time arrives. Preview and test scheduled posts to ensure correct timing before going live.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the end-user configuration. Plan for bursts during publishing sweeps, and implement retries with backoff in your automations. If you hit a limit, you’ll typically receive a 429 response, which you can handle gracefully.
Best practice is to run test calls from the Inblog connector to verify credentials and endpoint access. Start with a read request like GET emails/builder to confirm authentication, then test write endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to verify publishing without errors. Review responses, logs, and any error messages to troubleshoot and confirm a stable connection.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
