To connect Blogs API to Membership-io, generate and securely store your GHL API credentials. Use the required scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly) and ensure you grant access to the relevant blogs endpoints so syncing can occur smoothly.
Membership-io uses standard OAuth 2.0 with access tokens. Store tokens securely and refresh before expiry to maintain uninterrupted links.
Common endpoints you might use in this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, POST /emails/builder, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You may also encounter endpoints like blogs/post.write, blogs/post-update.write, blogs/check-slug.readonly, blogs/category.readonly, and blogs/author.readonly as part of broader workflows.
Trigger a new blog post when a member signs up in Membership-io; create via POST /blogs/posts.
Set title, content, slug, and metadata; publish to blog; map fields such as title, content, excerpt, authorId, and categoryId.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
On membership status changes, update or re-publish related posts.
Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields such as title, content, and status.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status, slug, publishDate
New author added in Blogs API triggers a sync to Membership-io; keep profiles aligned.
Fetch authors (GET /blogs/authors) and mirror in Membership-io; map name, bio, and avatar.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio, avatarUrl
Automate repeatable content workflows with drag-and-drop tools—no custom code required.
Real-time data sync reduces manual updates and data drift between systems.
Scale campaigns and content pipelines by reusing automations across multiple members and posts.
This section defines the core pieces: endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, and testing processes.
Application Programming Interface that enables apps to communicate and exchange data.
A real-time notification mechanism from one system to another when an event occurs.
Permission granted to access resources via tokens or credentials.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post for links and SEO.
Publish a welcome post when a new member joins; personalize with their name and interests to boost engagement.
Automatically refresh or publish posts when users hit key milestones (e.g., 7 days, 30 days).
Create recurring posts featuring new authors synced from Blogs API.
Create API credentials in GHL with the required scopes and connect them to Membership-io.
Map data between Membership-io and Blogs API (title, content, author, slug) and select triggers.
Run tests with sample data, verify responses, then go live.
The Blogs API is the endpoint set that powers blog-related actions like creating posts, updating posts, and managing authors and categories. When connected to Membership-io, you can automate publishing content triggered by member events and keep blog data aligned with member information. This enables timely, relevant content without manual steps.
No-code setup is often possible using built-in triggers and actions in the automation builder and the Zapier App Connector. You can define triggers such as new member signup and actions like creating a blog post, all without writing code. Some basic data mapping is still required to ensure fields line up between Membership-io and Blogs API.
Typically you will use POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/authors to fetch author details, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You may also rely on GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure SEO-friendly slugs and GET /blogs/categories to map post categories.
Keep authors in sync by regularly pulling author data from GET /blogs/authors and updating Membership-io author records as needed. You can set up scheduled synchronizations or webhooks to trigger updates when author data changes.
Authentication is typically OAuth 2.0 with access tokens. Ensure the correct scopes are granted (including those related to emails/builder.readonly and the Blogs API endpoints) and store tokens securely. Refresh tokens before expiry to avoid interruptions.
Yes. You can update a post’s slug and content using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. A best practice is to ensure the slug remains SEO-friendly and to verify uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before making updates.
Test the integration in a sandbox environment using sample data for member signups and blog posts. Validate responses, error handling, and data mappings. Once verified, switch to live credentials and monitor for any anomalies.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
