Authenticate with the GHL API using OAuth 2.0 credentials from your developer portal. Retrieve an access token and refresh tokens, and ensure the scope is limited to emails/builder.readonly for read operations until you enable write permissions.
Authenticate MaidCentral to access or push data to the Blogs API via a secure OAuth flow. Store credentials safely and reuse tokens to test endpoints such as GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts.

Complete OAuth flow, connect MaidCentral, and test endpoints such as GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts.
End users typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create a new blog post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. For email automation, GET emails/builder allows pulling templates and POST emails/builder creates or updates templates. If you need to attach blog data to emails, POST /emails/builder/data can push content for dynamic emails. These actions enable scalable, no code workflows. Slug-based checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help prevent duplicate posts and keep URLs clean.
Yes. If you intend to publish or modify email templates from the integration, you’ll need write access to the emails/builder endpoints (emails/builder and /emails/builder/data). Start with readonly scope to test and verify data flow, then request additional permissions as your workflow requires. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
To check if a slug exists, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. This returns a boolean or status indicating whether the slug is already used. Use this in your post creation flow to generate unique, SEO-friendly URLs for new posts.
Yes. You can fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories. This data can be used to enrich blog posts in MaidCentral campaigns, assign posts to authors, and segment emails by category.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title. It typically appears in the post URL and helps with SEO and readability. Slug consistency makes linking, sharing, and indexing simpler for readers and search engines.
No code is required to connect and automate workflows. Using the GHL Blogs API and MaidCentral integration, you can map blog data to email templates, trigger campaigns on new posts, and update content automatically. Start with a read-only pilot, then expand permissions as needed.
Endpoint references and documentation are available in the GHL developer portal and MaidCentral integration guide. The endpoint list includes email builder, blog post management, slug checks, categories, and authors. Use these to design your no code automation and validate flows in a test environment.
