Use OAuth tokens and API keys to securely authorize requests between GHL and the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Kickbox connects to GHL using a stable API key and defined scopes. Ensure the scope includes emails/builder.readonly and relevant blogs endpoints.
Core endpoints available include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, PUT /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule, 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
Trigger: When a new lead is added in Kickbox, automatically create a draft blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create a post; use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug; optionally call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Method/Path: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, status
Trigger: Kickbox form submission updates blog post draft or publishes when ready.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content or status; POST /blogs/posts to create new posts if needed.
Method/Path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, content, status, tags
Trigger: A ready Kickbox submission triggers publish in Blogs API.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to set status live; optionally trigger related emails via emails/builder.
Method/Path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, status
Automate content workflows without writing code
Speed up publishing and lead nurturing with real time data sync
Maintain a single source of truth across GHL, Blogs API, and Kickbox
Elements you’ll work with include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields. Understanding these helps you design reliable no code workflows.
A specific URL provided by an API to perform a function such as GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts.
The process of verifying identity and granting access between apps like GHL, Kickbox, and the Blogs API.
A readable, URL friendly version of a post title used to form the post URL.
A HTTP callback delivered when an event occurs, enabling real time workflow updates.
Capture new Kickbox leads and auto create blog drafts in Blogs API.
Use lead fields to generate suggested blog topics and seed posts.
Publish posts when leads reach a stage in your pipeline.
Collect your API keys and ensure the proper scopes such as emails/builder.readonly are granted.
Set up the endpoints you’ll use in triggers and actions, such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Test with a sample lead, verify post creation and slug uniqueness, then deploy.
To connect Kickbox to the Blogs API via GHL you will need a Blogs API key, Kickbox credentials, and the appropriate GHL scope such as emails/builder.readonly. Configure triggers in the GHL App Connector to call POST /blogs/posts when a new lead enters your Kickbox list. Ensure the Blogs API user has permission to create posts. Then test the flow in a staging environment to verify post creation and data mapping. In addition, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to guarantee slug uniqueness before publishing.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content or status, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate post metadata. Always validate slug uniqueness prior to publishing to avoid conflicts.
Slug uniqueness is ensured by calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug. If it exists, modify the title to generate a new slug or append a unique suffix. Automating this check within the workflow prevents publishing errors and broken URLs.
Yes. The integration is designed to be no-code friendly through the GHL App Connector. You can wire triggers and actions between Kickbox and Blogs API without writing code, using built-in data mapping and conditional logic.
Authentication typically uses API keys and OAuth tokens. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and apply least-privilege scopes to minimize risk. Use dedicated service accounts for automated workflows.
Test by creating a test lead in Kickbox and confirming that a draft post is created in Blogs API. Verify slug generation, content fields, and status transitions. Review logs in both GHL App Connector and the Blogs API to troubleshoot any mismatches.
Consult the Blogs API documentation, Kickbox integration guides, and the GHL App Connector docs for step-by-step tutorials, endpoint references, and best practices for structuring no-code workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
