To access Blogs API through Mercury Connect, provide your GHL API credentials and grant the integration the requested scopes. Required scope: emails/builder.readonly.
Connect Mercury Connect to GHL by providing authentication details and granting permission for content sync. This step ensures Mercury Connect can read and create records via the Blogs API.
Primary endpoints involved in this integration include: POST /blogs/posts to publish a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, and GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors. You may also reference endpoints like GET /blogs/posts for listing and GET /emails/builder as a contextual reference.
Trigger: A new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Action: Create a Mercury Connect article mirroring title, content, slug, category, and author.
POST /blogs/posts

Trigger: Blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Action: Update Mercury Connect article fields accordingly.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId

No coding is required. The no-code bridge lets you set up triggers and actions using a visual editor. For deeper customization, you can leverage API endpoints and field mappings within Mercury Connect.
You will typically need endpoints to create, update, and check posts, plus endpoints to fetch categories and authors. The essential endpoints are POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth tokens issued by GHL and Mercury Connect. Store credentials securely in the connected apps panel and rotate them regularly.
Yes. You can map post category to Mercury Connect sections and assign author metadata. Use slug-based routing to ensure each post is uniquely represented.
Use the built-in test mode to simulate posts and verify mappings. Check logs for failed requests and adjust field mappings as needed.
Slug validation prevents duplicate URLs by checking existing slugs before creation. You can enable automatic slug generation or adjust how slugs are formed.
Endpoint details are available in the integration guide and the endpoints list above. Look for the Blogs API section to see exact URL paths and required parameters.
