To connect Blogs API, create a developer API key in the GHL portal with the scope emails/builder.readonly. This key lets you read builder emails and use blog-related endpoints. Then configure the connection in ManyContacts to securely store the key and route requests to the correct endpoints.
In ManyContacts, generate a connection token or API key and grant it permission to read blog data and post updates to GHL. Ensure the connection uses HTTPS and credentials are stored securely.
– GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/posts – GET emails/schedule – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId
Trigger: when a new post is created in Blogs API, fire a ManyContacts email template to your subscribers.
Actions: deliver email, apply a subscriber tag, update read status.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, postId, slug, publishDate
Trigger: on a scheduled time window from Blogs API
Actions: trigger a newsletter in ManyContacts, segment based on category.
POST /blogs/posts
postId, scheduleTime, category, tags
Trigger: blog post updated in Blogs API
Actions: update the corresponding email content in ManyContacts, notify teams
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, lastUpdated, slug
No‑code setup lets you connect endpoints and automate workflows without developers.
Drag‑and‑drop editors and built‑in triggers let you assemble flows visually.
Unified data across emails and blog posts improves targeting and engagement.
This glossary defines API, endpoints, authentication, webhooks, and the core workflow ingredients used in this integration.
An application programming interface that lets Blogs API and ManyContacts communicate.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a function (e.g., GET emails/builder).
The process of proving identity to access API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
A URL that receives real-time data pushes from an API.
When a subscriber joins, publish a recent blog post and send a tailored welcome email using ManyContacts.
Automatically push updated blog content to subscribers and cross-post summaries to email campaigns.
Trigger targeted email sequences based on post topics and reader interests.
Generate API keys in GHL and ManyContacts, store securely, and note required scopes.
Assign emails/builder.readonly and post write scopes; map blog fields to contact fields.
Run test posts, test emails, verify data sync and logs.
No coding is required for the core connection. The integration uses API keys or OAuth tokens and prebuilt triggers in both apps to move data between Blogs API and ManyContacts. Additionally, you can rely on visual workflow builders to string triggers and actions together without writing code. The platform supports testing steps in a sandbox before going live. When you’re ready, switch to live mode and monitor results in dashboards.
For basic syncing, you’ll typically use endpoints like GET emails/builder, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors. These enable pulling email templates, creating and updating blog posts, validating slugs, and retrieving category and author data to enrich your communications.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth tokens configured in each app. Generate keys with the necessary scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly and post write) and store them securely. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor access logs for any unusual activity. Most users set up a dedicated service account to minimize risk.
Yes. You can customize email templates and the fields that pull from blog posts. Use dynamic tokens to insert post titles, excerpts, and URLs. You can also tailor subject lines and CTAs based on subscriber segments to improve engagement. No-code editors let you assemble flows without touching code.
Data sync speed depends on the trigger or schedule you configure. Real‑time webhooks can push updates within seconds of a post change, while scheduled or batched runs may occur at predefined intervals. Both apps provide logs to verify timing and delivery.
Post limits are determined by your API plan and account configuration. In most setups, you can scale by batching multiple posts per day or staggering post creation across time windows. If you reach limits, you can upgrade or optimize by consolidating content and reducing unnecessary triggers.
Integration logs are accessible in both Blogs API and ManyContacts dashboards. Look for recent activity, webhook deliveries, failed attempts, and endpoint responses. Enable verbose logging during troubleshooting and export logs for further analysis if needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
