Access to the Blogs API is secured with an API key or OAuth token generated in your GHL developer settings. Assign Jostle the required scope to read and write blog data within GHL.
Jostle authenticates through its own access token when requests flow through GHL to the Blogs API. Ensure Jostle is linked and authorized to perform actions from GHL.
Key endpoints you may use with Jostle include: – GET blogs/authors – GET blogs/categories – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET blogs/check-slug.readonly – POST /blogs/posts – POST blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Trigger: when a new article is created in Jostle, create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts
Actions: map title, summary, and content to blog post fields; assign author and category; set published status and slug
Method & path: POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category_id, status
Trigger: when a Jostle article is edited, update the corresponding blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: push updated title and content; keep slug stable; re-publish if needed
Method & path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: when creating a new article draft in Jostle, verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: if slug exists, prompt for a new slug or adjust; if available, proceed to create
Method & path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
1) Time saved through automation: publish and update posts without writing code.
2) Consistency and accuracy: centralized content flow ensures the same data appears in Jostle and your blog.
3) Rapid experimentation: test different workflows without developer help.
This glossary explains terms used in the Jostle Blogs API connection, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields you map in GHL.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of rules that enables apps to talk to each other. In this integration, the Blogs API exposes endpoints to manage posts, authors, and categories from Jostle through GHL.
An endpoint is a specific URL that performs a defined action, such as creating or updating a post.
A webhook is a real-time notification that can trigger a Jostle workflow when content changes in the Blogs API.
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used in the post URL.
When a new article is added in Jostle, create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts. Map title, summary, and content fields to ensure accurate publishing.
Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to push edits from Jostle to your blog, keeping posts in sync.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Create API keys in Blogs API and connect Jostle in GHL, granting appropriate scopes.
Set a trigger for new Jostle content and actions to create or update blog posts.
Run a test flow, check logs, and then deploy.
No code is required. GHL provides no-code builders and triggers that let you connect Jostle with the Blogs API. You can map fields, select endpoints, and build workflows visually. If an app changes, you can update the workflow without touching code.
For basic publishing you typically need to create posts via POST /blogs/posts, check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and optionally publish by setting the status. You can also fetch authors and categories with GET blogs/authors and GET blogs/categories to properly categorize posts.
Authenticate by generating an API key or OAuth token in GHL and linking Jostle. The access token is passed through GHL to the Blogs API with read and write scopes for posts, authors, and categories.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update post content and title from Jostle. Keep slug stable unless you intentionally change the URL structure.
Slug availability is checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If a slug exists, modify it in Jostle or let the system generate a unique slug automatically.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the Blogs API quotas. If you exceed limits, throttle or stagger requests and consider batch updates.
APIs evolve. Monitor the documentation and adjust triggers and endpoints as needed. If an endpoint is deprecated, update the workflow to the new endpoint and test thoroughly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
