Authenticate the connection using a secure API key and OAuth token scoped to blog and email endpoints. Store tokens safely and rotate credentials every 90 days.
InFlow Inventory stores API credentials securely and uses token refresh flows to maintain access to Blogs API. Ensure the app’s credentials are configured with the correct scopes.
Core endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. This page focuses on the blogs endpoints most relevant to publishing and updating posts, plus reference endpoints for management and scheduling.
Trigger when a new product is added or when stock levels change.
Create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts with title and content derived from the inventory item, set slug, category, and schedule publish.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger when a product description or stock note is updated in inFlow
Update the corresponding blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and adjust slug or publish date as needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, tags, status
Trigger: weekly digest generation from inventory trends
Create blog post via POST /blogs/posts, schedule for publish, and update tags
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, summary, publishedDate
Automate content creation from inventory data without writing code using drag-and-drop workflows.
Speed up publishing and improve accuracy by syncing product data to blog posts automatically.
Centralize content creation and inventory updates in one place for easier collaboration.
This glossary defines API concepts, endpoints, authentication methods, and HTTP verbs used in this integration to help you understand setup and troubleshooting.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It enables apps to talk to each other by sending requests and receiving responses over the web.
Slug is the URL-friendly string derived from a post title, used in the blog post URL.
GET is the HTTP method used to retrieve data from an API without causing side effects.
PUT is the HTTP method used to update an existing resource on the server.
Automatically turn new product launches tracked in inFlow into blog posts with summaries and publish scheduling.
Use sales and stock trend data to craft educational blog content for customers.
Publish quick replenishment guides when stock dips to help suppliers and teams.
Generate an API key and OAuth client in GHL, then securely store them in inFlow.
Map inventory events to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Run tests, set up retries, and schedule publishing with your automation tool.
The Blogs API lets you create, update, and publish blog content from outside your blog platform. InFlow Inventory can trigger posts based on inventory events, such as new items or stock changes. This enables automated content that complements product updates. You can also retrieve authors, categories, and slug checks to ensure posts publish correctly. Use safe authentication and structured payloads for reliable automation.
Crucial endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. For planning and governance, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help classify posts. Tie these to inventory events to automate post creation and updates without manual steps.
Secure authentication uses an API key and OAuth token with scopes limited to blog and email endpoints. Store credentials in a secret manager and rotate them regularly. Use token refresh flows to keep the connection alive and monitor for expiration errors to trigger automatic re-authentication.
Yes. You can schedule posts to publish at specific times using automation tools. Create the post with a planned publish date and use a scheduler to trigger the publish action at the chosen moment. Implement error handling to retry on failure.
Required fields typically include title and content for the blog post, plus optional slug, categoryId, authorId, and status. You may also provide tags and a summary to improve discovery. Ensure the slug is unique by validating with the slug-check endpoint before publishing.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and track error codes from the API. Use idempotent requests where possible (e.g., avoid duplicating posts). Log failures, alert your team, and retry only up to a safe limit to prevent loops.
API rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Review the documentation or your account plan for quotas. If you hit limits, implement backoff, stagger requests, or spread actions across time to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
