GHL requires a secure token or OAuth scope for the Blogs API. Use the provided credentials with the emails and blogs scopes and store them securely.
APPNAME uses OAuth 2.0 with client secrets or API keys. Keep keys secret and rotate them regularly.
The following endpoints are available to connect APPNAME with GHL Blogs data: Emails endpoints (GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId), Schedule endpoints (GET emails/schedule, readonly), and Blogs endpoints (GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). Use these to manage posts, templates, and automated email delivery.
Trigger: a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: pull post data with GET /blogs/posts and push to APPNAME, optionally generate summaries.
Methods used: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: new or updated blog content triggers an email template.
Actions: render emails/builder templates with blog content and send to subscribers.
Methods: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data
Key fields: locationId, templateId, payload
Trigger: new blog post triggers a summary generation.
Actions: generate summary via blog content and push to APPNAME as a new item.
Methods: GET /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, summary, title, url
Benefit: create powerful automations without writing code.
Benefit: keep data synchronized across platforms.
Benefit: scale content workflows with event-driven actions.
Here are the core elements and processes you will use to connect GHL Blogs API with APPNAME.
API: a defined set of rules that allow APPNAME and GHL to talk to each other.
Endpoint: a specific URL path you call to perform a function in an API.
Webhook: a way for one app to notify another when something happens.
Slug: a readable, URL-safe string used to identify a post.
Automatically generate a daily digest in APPNAME from new and updated blogs using Blogs API data.
Set up automatic emails to subscribers when a post is published or updated.
Publish blog summaries to social channels from APPNAME when new posts exist.
Obtain and securely store credentials for both sides and confirm required scopes.
Connect the blogs endpoints to actions in APPNAME such as create posts, fetch posts, and check slug existence.
Run tests, review logs, and enable webhooks for real-time updates.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage blog posts, authors, categories and more. In this guide we focus on connecting to APPNAME to automate content delivery. No heavy coding is required for basic flows, and templates can be customized to match your branding.
You don’t need deep development skills to start. The platform supports no-code automation using APPNAME’s connectors and the Blogs API endpoints. For advanced data transformations, you can extend your workflow with custom actions or webhooks as needed.
Posting uses endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create or update content; retrieval uses GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. For metadata, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors are helpful to enrich posts.
Security is handled via OAuth or API keys with scoped permissions. Always use HTTPS, rotate credentials, and limit scopes to the minimum required for your workflows.
Yes. The Blogs API supports email templates under emails/builder endpoints. You can populate templates with blog data and customize fields like subject, preheader, and body.
Yes, webhooks can notify APPNAME of events like new posts or updates. Configure the webhook URL in APPNAME and map the event path in GHL to receive notifications.
Rate limits vary by plan; check the GHL developer docs for current quotas. If limits are reached, implement backoff, batching, or staggered polling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
