Authenticate API calls with your GHL API key and the necessary scope. Include the key in the Authorization header and request the appropriate access (read or write) for blog-related actions.
Obtain a Jotform Enterprise API key or OAuth credentials to securely authorize requests to the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and rotate according to policy.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule.readonly; 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: New form submission creates a blog post draft via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: Create blog post with fields like title, content, slug, author, and category.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug (optional), author, category
Trigger: Form field update triggers a PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to sync content.
Actions: Update title or content for the corresponding post.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content
Trigger: Draft ready; verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: If exists, prompt for new slug; otherwise proceed to POST /blogs/posts.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
No-code automation of blog workflows reduces manual steps and speeds publishing.
Centralized publishing across channels with automated checks and error handling.
Secure credentials management and audit trails ensure compliance.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data fields, and common processes used to connect the GHL Blogs API with Jotform Enterprise.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software programs communicate.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function when called.
Mechanism to verify identity so that requests are allowed (API keys, OAuth tokens).
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post in its web address.
Automatically generate a blog post using data from new form submissions with POST /blogs/posts.
Whenever form data changes, update the corresponding post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to keep content current.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug uniqueness before publishing.
Generate and securely store API credentials and test the connection.
Create field mappings for title, content, author, category, and slug.
Run a test publish, verify slug, and confirm post appears in the blog channel.
No heavy coding is required thanks to the no-code workflows built into the GHL platform. Many common publishing scenarios can be automated using prebuilt actions and triggers. If your needs require more complex logic, lightweight automation or middleware can be used as an extension.
For basic publishing, focus on POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata. Optional: POST /blogs/post-update to adjust existing posts.
Slug collisions can occur if the same slug is used twice. Check existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug exists, generate a new one or append a unique suffix to avoid conflicts.
Yes, you can update a published post using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Keep in mind you may need to refresh metadata and slugs if they change.
Authentication can be performed with API keys or OAuth tokens. In this integration, you’ll typically use an API key with the needed scope for read or write actions.
Map form fields to blog post fields (title, content, slug, author, category) and keep a consistent data type. Use field mapping features in the GHL or middleware to ensure accurate transfers.
Check the API documentation for rate limits and implement retry logic. Use error handling patterns and monitor usage to avoid hitting limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
