Obtain an API key in your GHL account and grant the minimum necessary scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly) to Intaker. Use secure tokens and test against a sandbox where available.
In the GHL developer portal, register Intaker as an app, request the same access scopes, and configure redirect URIs for OAuth if required. Always rotate keys and monitor usage.
– GET emails/builder: retrieve email templates and settings – POST emails/builder: create new email templates – POST /emails/builder/data: import email data into templates – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId: remove a template – GET emails/schedule: view email scheduling rules – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists: check if a slug is available – POST /blogs/posts: create a new blog post – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId: update a post by ID – POST /blogs/post-update.write: update blog content – GET blogs/category.readonly: read blog categories – GET /blogs/categories: list blog categories – GET blogs/author.readonly: read blog authors – GET /blogs/authors: list blog authors
Trigger: A new Intaker submission is received, which creates a draft blog post in GHL.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create the draft; set title, content, author, and category; optionally set status to draft.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: Intaker updates post data that should reflect in GHL.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with updated fields; ensure slug and category remain consistent.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, categoryId, slug
Trigger: Draft created in Intaker prompts slug existence check.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug; GET /blogs/categories to fetch category options.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, categoryId
Automate content workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual work.
Keep blog and email data in sync across GHL and Intaker for consistent messaging.
Use ready-to-go endpoints to extend workflows quickly and scale with your team.
This glossary explains core terms and data flows used when integrating the Blogs API with Intaker.
A set of rules that allows different software components to communicate and share data.
A human-friendly string used in a URL to identify a post, typically derived from the title.
A specific URL where an API can be accessed to perform an action or retrieve data.
A callback mechanism where one app sends real-time data to another via HTTP requests.
Automatically generate blog drafts whenever a new Intaker submission arrives, lowering time to publish.
Use API calls to publish posts into several categories or update category assignments in bulk.
Implement slug rules to produce unique, readable URLs that improve search visibility.
In the GHL developer portal, create an API key with appropriate scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) for Intaker to read emails and access blog endpoints.
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; map fields such as title, content, slug, author, category.
Run end-to-end tests to ensure data flows correctly; monitor API usage and error logs to troubleshoot.
The Blogs API in GHL provides programmatic access to your blog and post resources, allowing Intaker to create, update, and manage posts and categories without manual UI work. It enables automation, scheduling, and content synchronization between Intaker workflows and GHL blogs. By using the provided endpoints, you can pull in email builder data, publish drafts, and align content with campaigns, ensuring messaging stays consistent across channels.
Authentication is done with an API key or OAuth tokens issued by your GHL account. Assign the required scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly) to permit Intaker to read emails and manage blog content. Securely store keys and rotate them regularly. Test credentials in a sandbox or staging environment before going live to minimize disruption.
For basic publishing, you typically need endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories to fetch allowed categories. Depending on your workflow, you may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts.
Yes. You can update a post after publishing by using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with revised content, title, or category. Ensure any slug changes are reflected consistently.
Slug checks prevent duplicate URLs by verifying if a URL slug is already in use. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to reserve a unique slug.
Webhooks are optional but helpful for real-time updates. You can configure webhooks to notify Intaker of changes in GHL blog posts or emails, reducing polling.
API keys and scopes are managed in your GHL account under Developers or API Settings. Create or copy your API key, assign necessary scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly), and securely store them in Intaker with proper rotation and access controls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
