Access to the Blogs API requires a secure token with the emails/builder.readonly scope. Use the approved authentication flow to obtain and refresh tokens for reliable access.
To authorize M1 to interact with Blogs API data, generate credentials, grant the necessary scopes, and store tokens securely in your app settings.
Endpoints included in this integration (examples): GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use only the endpoints relevant to your workflow.

Map blog fields to email builder templates and set up triggers to automate actions.
Run tests, validate data flow, and deploy to production with monitoring.
No coding is required to connect the Apps. The integration is designed for no-code setups through the app connector, triggers, and actions. You can map fields and configure data flows using UI prompts. If you are comfortable with field mappings, you can fine-tune behavior quickly. If not, start with the defaults and adjust over time. For advanced scenarios, knowledge of JSON payloads and data schemas can help you tailor the integration precisely.
Emails-related work primarily uses endpoints inside emails/builder and emails/schedule to fetch templates and schedule campaigns. Blog content is managed through blogs endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to create and update posts. You can combine these to drive email campaigns from blog activity. Documentation and endpoint references in the setup guide will show exact payload structures and required fields.
Yes. The app connector includes test or sandbox modes. Use test data and a staging environment to validate triggers, mappings, and outcomes before enabling production flows. If you encounter errors, check authentication tokens, scopes, endpoint permissions, and field mappings, then re-run tests until the results are as expected.
Authentication uses token-based access with the required scope, such as emails/builder.readonly. Tokens are refreshed as needed. Depending on your setup, you may use OAuth or API keys per the provider’s recommended method. Always store credentials securely and rotate credentials periodically to maintain security.
Error handling includes clear error messages, retry policies, and backoff strategies. If a request fails due to rate limits or transient network issues, the connector should automatically retry with exponential backoff. For hard failures, consult logs, verify permissions, and ensure payloads conform to the API schema.
Rate limits are defined by the GHL API plan. If you exceed limits, the connector will pause requests and retry after a cooldown period. Plan-aware throttling helps maintain stable automation without overwhelming the API. Monitor usage in the dashboard and adjust batch sizes or trigger frequencies as needed.
Endpoint details are available in the API docs and in the setup guide within the app. Start with the core endpoints for emails and blogs, then expand to additional endpoints as you grow. If you need a quick reference, you can copy the endpoint list from the Endpoints Overview section.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
