Authenticate requests with your GHL credentials. Use OAuth or an API key, and grant the scopes listed in your integration settings (for example emails/builder.readonly, emails/builder.write, blogs/post.write, blogs/check-slug.readonly). Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Inwink will authorize via Zapier’s App Connector. After the initial connection, inwink securely stores tokens and maps fields to the GHL endpoints, enabling smooth, ongoing data sync.
Endoints covered: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new draft blog post is created in inwink, automatically publish it via the Blogs API.

Method Path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category, publish_date
Trigger: On demand pull of blog content into inwink for email campaigns.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors; map content to email templates and blocks.
Method Path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, content, summary, author_id
Trigger: Schedule-based syncs between Blogs API and inwink for ongoing campaigns.
Actions: Batch create/update posts and email templates; refresh metadata and revalidate slugs.
Method Path: POST /blogs/posts; POST /emails/builder/data
Key fields: batch_ids, schedule_time, templates, and slug mappings
Automate publishing and distribution without writing code, using ready-made triggers and actions.
Centralize blog content, email templates, and authors in one connected workflow for consistency.
Improve campaign performance with synchronized data and reliable field mappings.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings. Use them to build automated workflows between GHL and inwink.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows apps to communicate and share data.
Slug: a URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in routing and search.
Authentication: the process of verifying identity to access APIs, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
Endpoint: a specific URL path that performs an action in an API.
Automatically generate blog posts in GHL when a new campaign draft is created in inwink, then publish or queue for review.
Pull author details from GHL and reflect them in inwink email templates and blocks for accurate attribution.
Aggregate recent posts and automatically assemble a digest email in inwink on a scheduled cadence.
Obtain your GHL API key or set up OAuth credentials in the GHL developer console, then secure them in your Zapier app.
Connect your GHL Blogs API in Zapier, map fields between Blogs posts, emails, and inwink templates, and set scopes accordingly.
Run end-to-end tests for triggers and actions, review data mappings, and deploy to production with monitoring enabled.
Authentication between GHL and inwink uses OAuth or API keys. Start by generating credentials in the GHL developer portal and securely storing them in your Zapier app. Then map the auth tokens to each action and trigger you plan to use. Always test authentication with a sandbox or test account before going live. For ongoing security, rotate credentials regularly and implement least-privilege scopes (e.g., limit to emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write for production workflows).
At minimum, basic blog-post workflows require endpoints for creating posts (blogs/posts), updating posts (blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (blogs/check-slug.readonly or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). You’ll also want access to author and category data (blogs/author.readonly, blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Yes. You can pull blog content into inwink to populate email templates, blocks, and campaigns by mapping blog fields (title, content, slug, author, category) to email components. Use the blogs/posts endpoints to fetch content and then feed it into your email builder with the appropriate templates.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; plan throttling and retries in your Zapier workflows. Use exponential backoff and batch operations where possible to stay within limits. Monitor for failed runs and set up alerts for failures or SLA breaches.
Slug conflicts occur when two posts share the same slug. Check slug existence before publishing (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and implement a fallback strategy (append a unique identifier) to ensure all posts have unique URLs.
Yes. Use a sandbox or development workspace in GHL and a test account in inwink. Validate all mappings and triggers there first, then promote to production after successful tests and stakeholder sign-off.
Monitor the integration through Zapier task history and GHL logs. Set up alerts for failed runs, latency, and authentication errors, and maintain a changelog for updates to endpoints or field mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
