To connect Blogs API with Teams you will authenticate using OAuth 2.0 and grant the necessary scopes for reading blog data and posting messages. Typical scopes include emails/builder.readonly. Keep your credentials secure.
Authorize the Teams integration by granting permission to post messages in your channels and access relevant blog data via Blogs API.
Common endpoints used in the Blogs API to support Teams integration include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /emails/builder, GET /emails/schedule, and related read/write operations for posts and schedules. These endpoints enable fetching posts, creating or updating content, organizing categories and authors, and scheduling communications to Teams.

Key elements include authentication, triggers, actions, endpoints, and data fields. The processes cover connecting the APIs securely, mapping data, and testing the workflow.
An API is a set of rules that enables software systems to communicate and exchange data.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard for secure authorization that lets apps access user data without sharing passwords.
A webhook is a user-defined URL callback that triggers automatically when a specified event occurs.
Payload is the structured data sent in a request or response between systems.
Highlight new posts with a rich Teams card and quick actions.
Publish a weekly digest of top posts to a Teams channel.
Feature posts by author and cross-link with related content in Teams.
In your GHL dashboard, authorize the Blogs API connection to Microsoft Teams and choose the target channel.
Choose triggers like new post or post update and map actions to Teams messages with fields to include.
Run a test in a private chat to verify formatting, then enable the workflow in Teams.
Yes. You can create no-code connections using the GHL interface. No programming is required to configure triggers, actions, and data mappings. The setup guides you through authenticating the connection and selecting the Teams channel to receive updates. You can customize message templates to match your branding. The workflow runs automatically after testing and deployment.
Blogs API can post essential post data to Teams, including the title, excerpt, and a link to the post. You can format the message to include the author and category, and adjust the layout to fit your Teams channel. You can also choose to send a full post body if needed via the allowed fields.
Security is built on OAuth 2.0 with token-based authentication. Access tokens are time-limited and can be rotated. Always store credentials securely and restrict scopes to the minimum required. Regular audits and monitoring help keep the connection safe.
If your blog schema changes, you may need to update the field mappings and triggers in the workflow. Use versioning for endpoints and adjust the data payload accordingly. Testing after changes ensures messages render correctly in Teams.
Yes. You can schedule daily or weekly digests to Teams by configuring a digest trigger and mapping top posts to a single Teams message. This keeps your team informed with minimal effort.
Posting new blogs typically uses POST /blogs/posts. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. Mapping fields like postId, title, url, and excerpt ensures consistent messages in Teams.
Logs and activity for the Blogs API to Teams connection are visible in the GHL dashboard under the Connections section. There you can review payloads, timestamps, and outcomes of each post or digest message.
