Authenticate to the GHL API using secure OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Ensure your access token includes the necessary scopes (for this integration, the relevant scope is emails/builder.readonly).
Authenticate LeadConnector within your integration app using the provided API keys or OAuth tokens. This connection allows you to trigger actions from Blogs API to LeadConnector workflows.
Key endpoints involved include POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts. Additional endpoints for emails are listed for reference but not required for this integration.
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Create the post via POST /blogs/posts; sync with LeadConnector workflows and notify subscribers.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category
Trigger: Attempt to publish a post; slug may exist.
Actions: Validate slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; if available, proceed; if not, prompt to adjust.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: Update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and propagate changes to LeadConnector workflows.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug

Select endpoints to use, such as creating posts and slug checks.
Map endpoints to LeadConnector actions and test end-to-end.
GHL API authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Start by registering your application to obtain client credentials and set the redirect URI. Use the access token in your requests and refresh it when it expires. For this integration, ensure the access token has the necessary scope to read and manage emails and blog data. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly.
To publish blog content and automate workflows, you typically need endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Additionally, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help enrich content metadata and routing in LeadConnector.
Slug availability can be checked by calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with a desired slug. If the slug exists, modify it (for example by adding a suffix) and recheck until you obtain a unique slug.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post content, title, or slug. After updating, ensure LeadConnector workflows receive the changes and any subscribers are notified if configured.
Syncing data to subscribers can be achieved by linking blog post events to LeadConnector contact or campaign workflows. Use webhooks or polling to push updated subscriber data and maintain consistent customer records.
The integration can leverage the Emails endpoints to create and manage email templates or campaigns as part of the workflow. Ensure the scope includes emails builder access and that you comply with consent and unsubscribe handling.
Documentation for the GHL API is available in your developer portal; look for sections on endpoints such as blogs and emails and the authentication guide. If a requirement is missing, reference the generic REST API patterns and adapt them to the Blogs API connected to LeadConnector.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
