To begin, generate an API key for the Blogs API and grant incident-io the appropriate scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use this key to establish a secure, read-only connection during testing.
In this step, authorize incident-io to connect to your GHL account using a secure pairing method and map required permissions for blog management.
– GET emails/builder; – POST emails/builder/data; – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; – GET emails/schedule; – POST /blogs/posts; – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; – GET /blogs/categories; – GET /blogs/authors; – GET /blogs/posts; – GET /blogs/categories; – GET /blogs/authors; – POST /blogs/posts; – POST /blogs/posts/update; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; – GET /blogs/posts; – GET /blogs/categories; – GET /blogs/authors

Run tests, adjust mappings, and enable automation in production
Answer: You can connect without custom code using the Zapier App Connector. The Blogs API and incident-io integration provide pre-built triggers and actions. If you need deeper customization, you can extend with API calls, but for most users, no code is enough. This setup is designed for simplicity and speed, allowing non-developers to automate publishing and updates while preserving the option to dive deeper if unique workflows are required.
Answer: Yes. You can sync authors and categories automatically by configuring endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and mapping them to GHL data. You can also run periodic syncs or trigger-based updates when incident-io changes occur. This keeps your author and category metadata aligned across systems with minimal manual effort.
Answer: For publishing, use POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You can verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. These endpoints support a typical publishing workflow from incident-io events to live blog content in GHL.
Answer: The integration supports API keys and OAuth, with scoped permissions. Start with readonly during testing, then elevate permissions as needed. All data is transmitted over TLS, and you can review access logs in your dashboards for transparency.
Answer: Supported mappings include title, content, slug, publishDate, authorId, categoryIds, and tags. You can customize field mappings in the Zapier App Connector or via direct API calls if required for your workflow.
Answer: Yes. Scheduling is possible via the blogs/schedule endpoints or integration tooling in GHL to publish at a future time, enabling automated content calendars driven by incident-io data.
Answer: Error logs appear in both the Blogs API and GHL dashboards. Enable verbose logging in the integration settings to diagnose issues, and review recent activity in the logs pane for rapid troubleshooting.
