Start by creating and securing an API key for the Blogs API and configuring the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) to read blog data. Use OAuth or token-based authentication as your security model, then test with a sandbox environment to ensure requests land correctly in GHL.
Configure APPNAME with a trusted connection token and scopes that permit accessing blog endpoints. This ensures APPNAME can trigger actions, pull post data, and push updates back into your GHL workflows without exposing credentials in your automation logic.
Key endpoints for Listings To Leads include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET blogs/post.write; GET blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically create or update a lead in APPNAME and notify your team in GHL.
Actions: create or update a contact in GHL, attach the new post data, and schedule a follow-up in APPNAME.
Method/Path: GET /blogs/posts (read) and POST /blogs/posts (create), optionally POST /emails/builder/data to attach post data.
Key fields: postId, slug, author, publishDate
Trigger: daily digest at a fixed time (e.g., 2:00 AM) to align with your outreach cadence.
Actions: push updated posts to APPNAME, refresh categories, and remind teams in GHL when new content is available.
Method/Path: POST /blogs/posts (bulk check) or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update status)
Key fields: postId, status, lastUpdated
Trigger: on-demand import or scheduled batch job to synchronize large sets of posts.
Actions: import posts, enrich with metadata (categories, authors), and push to APPNAME for analytics and dashboards.
Method/Path: POST /blogs/posts (bulk) and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update)
Key fields: batchId, posts[].id, importDate
Benefit: setup flows with drag-and-drop builders, reducing time to value without writing code.
Benefit: consistent data across systems, eliminating manual syncing and errors.
Benefit: scalable automation that grows with your content pipeline and audience reach.
This glossary covers common terms, elements, and processes used when connecting Listings To Leads with the Blogs API and APPNAME in a GHL workflow.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with a service, enabling data exchange.
A callback URL that receives real-time event notifications from a service.
The process of verifying identity to securely access APIs and resources.
A URL-friendly, unique identifier for a post used in routing and SEO.
Use APPNAME to generate concise summaries of blog posts and attach them to GHL tasks or emails for quick reference.
Publish post updates to social channels and newsletters through APPNAME while tracking engagement in GHL.
Aggregate blog metrics from Blogs API into APPNAME dashboards and surface insights inside GHL workflows.
Create and secure API keys for Blogs API and configure APPNAME with those credentials to establish a trusted connection.
Enable the endpoints you need (e.g., blogs/posts, blogs/categories) and set appropriate scopes to control data flow.
Create a starter workflow to pull new posts and push updates to GHL, then expand with additional triggers and actions as you iterate.
In most cases you can get started without writing code. The Blogs API and APPNAME provide visual tools and webhooks that let you connect data and automate flows. If you do have coding resources, you can extend functionality with custom endpoints and scripts. Two options exist: a no-code setup for quick wins, and a lightweight code approach for advanced logic and validation.
You can sync core blog data such as posts, authors, categories, and publish dates, plus derived fields like post status and slug. APPNAME can enrich posts with metadata, attach media, and push updates to GHL workflows. The exact data you sync depends on the endpoints you enable and your workflow design.
Security is built on API keys or OAuth tokens with scoped permissions. Use secure storage for credentials, rotate keys, and monitor usage via logs. Always apply least-privilege access and enable error handling to prevent sensitive data exposure.
Essential endpoints include retrieving posts (GET /blogs/posts), checking for slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and creating or updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). For outreach, you may also use emails/builder endpoints to compose and send communications. Start with a minimal set and expand as your workflow matures.
Yes. You can schedule posts or push updates on a cadence by using schedule endpoints and timer-based triggers in APPNAME. This supports regular content distribution without manual intervention. Ensure your scheduling is aligned with your audience and workflow capacity to avoid content overload.
Create a sandbox or test project in APPNAME and a developer sandbox in the Blogs API. Run end-to-end tests with sample posts, then verify data appears in GHL workflows and dashboards. Use mock data and staged environments before deploying to production to minimize risk.
API rate limits depend on your plan and endpoint type. Plan for bursts during launches and implement exponential backoff retry logic. If you anticipate higher traffic, request higher quotas or adjust your workflows to spread requests over time.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
