To begin, generate a read/write API key from the Blogs API dashboard and securely supply it to Lnk-Bio. This key allows Lnk-Bio to read and post blog content through the connected endpoints.
In Lnk-Bio, enter the Blogs API credentials and test the connection. A successful test confirms the integration is ready to use.
Key endpoints used include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data. These endpoints enable creating posts, updating content, checking slugs, managing categories and authors, and sending email notifications.
Trigger: New blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: Create or update a Lnk-Bio item with the post title, excerpt, and link; automatically sync featured image when available.
Methods used: POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure uniqueSLUG, and POST /emails/builder to notify subscribers.
Key fields: title, excerpt, slug, content, publishDate, featuredImage, link
Trigger: New Lnk-Bio collection or item is added.
Actions: Create or update blog categories and posts with mapped tags; keep taxonomy aligned.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update entries as needed.

This glossary explains terms, elements, and processes used to connect GHL Blogs API with Lnk-Bio, including endpoints, authentication, and data fields.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows one app to talk to another.
OAuth is a standard for token-based authorization that enables secure access without sharing passwords.
A webhook is a callback that triggers when a specific event occurs, sending data to a URL.
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used in the link.
Automatically pull post title and excerpt to create a Lnk-Bio card and link back to the full post.
Share notable quotes or featured images in Lnk-Bio when a post is published.
Automate a weekly digest using the Emails endpoints to keep readers engaged.
In Blogs API, generate a read/write key and store it securely for Lnk-Bio.
Enter your API key into Lnk-Bio settings and authorize the connection.
Run test posts and sample content to confirm data flows and endpoints respond correctly.
The integration supports API key based authentication for Blogs API and app credentials in Lnk-Bio. Keep keys secure and rotate them periodically. If your organization uses OAuth, follow the provider’s standard flow to obtain access tokens that grant the necessary scopes. In general, store tokens in a secure vault and reference them in your no-code workflow settings.
For basic publishing, use GET /blogs/posts to fetch and POST /blogs/posts to create new entries. For updates, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. Email notifications rely on POST /emails/builder to compose messages.
Yes. You can map fields such as title, excerpt, slug, content, and publishDate between Blogs API and Lnk-Bio. Custom fields can be added in Lnk-Bio templates and synchronized through endpoint calls. Test mappings with sample data to ensure accurate transfers.
Begin by verifying API keys and base URLs. Use test requests from the integration panel to confirm successful authentication. If an error occurs, check permission scopes, rate limits, and the exact endpoint path. Review response codes and adjust the mapping accordingly.
If an endpoint returns an error, implement a retry policy and log the failure. Use fallback actions such as sending a notification or queuing the update for later. Ensure your data payload conforms to the endpoint schema and required fields.
No code is required for most standard workflows. The connectors provide prebuilt triggers, actions, and mapping options. For advanced scenarios, you can add minimal scripting or use built-in adapters in your automation tool to handle edge cases.
You can find sample templates for blog posts, categories, and email notifications in the template gallery of Blogs API and Lnk-Bio. These templates illustrate common field mappings and formatting for consistent results.
