To connect Blogs API from MindManager, generate an API key or OAuth token in your GHL account and securely store it in MindManager’s connection settings. Use these credentials to authorize requests to endpoints such as /blogs/posts and /emails/builder. Treat credentials as sensitive and rotate them periodically.
MindManager authenticates to Blogs API by sending the API key as a header or via OAuth in your Zapier App Connector setup. Ensure the app has access to read/write emails and blog data so you can create posts, manage categories, and schedule communications.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a MindManager task is moved to a writing stage or a new project is created. This launches a draft blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Post a new blog draft (POST /blogs/posts), verify slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), assign category (GET /blogs/categories), set author (GET /blogs/authors), and optionally publish later.
Methods and paths: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors; optional PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to publish/update
title, content, excerpt, slug, categoryId, authorId, tags, publishDate
Trigger: a new blog post exists in Blogs API; kick off an email notification flow.
Actions: create email template (POST /emails/builder), populate subject/body, schedule or immediately send (POST /emails/builder/data and GET /emails/schedule), target subscriber list.
Methods and paths: POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /emails/schedule
subject, body, recipients, scheduleTime, templateId
Trigger: new author or category created in MindManager maps to Blogs API.
Actions: create author (POST /blogs/authors) and create category (POST /blogs/categories); map fields like name and description.
Methods and paths: POST /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/categories
name, bio, slug for authors; name, description for categories
Build powerful automation between MindManager and Blogs API without writing custom code.
Automate content distribution by syncing drafts, schedules, and notifications across apps.
Keep data consistent with template-driven workflows and centralized mappings.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, and actions that enable MindManager to work with Blogs API smoothly.
Application Programming Interface that allows MindManager and Blogs API to communicate and exchange data.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the blog URL to improve readability and SEO.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs an operation in an API.
A callback URL that receives real-time data from an API when certain events occur.
Automatically generate a blog post draft when a MindManager project enters writing status, using the Blogs API to create the post and set initial metadata.
When a MindManager task completes, publish the post via Blogs API and notify subscribers via a scheduled email.
Use a single draft to publish across multiple channels by mapping BLOG content to email newsletters and social snippets.
Generate an API key or OAuth token in the GHL dashboard and securely store it in MindManager’s connection settings.
Use MindManager connectors or the Zapier App Connector to establish the connection, selecting the required scopes for emails and blogs.
Define triggers, actions, and data mappings (title, content, slug, author, category) to automate post creation, scheduling, and notifications.
No-code connections are possible by using standard connectors or middleware like Zapier App Connector. You can set up triggers in MindManager that call the Blogs API to create post drafts and update content. This avoids custom coding while delivering robust automation. By leveraging the available endpoints for posts, categories, and authors, you can assemble a complete workflow that scales with your content strategy.
Authentication typically uses an API key or OAuth token issued by Blogs API (GHL). Store credentials securely and attach them to your MindManager connection. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes (e.g., blogs/post.write, blogs/category.readonly) for reading and writing content as required by your automations. Rotate credentials periodically and monitor access in your security settings.
Core endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map metadata, and POST /emails/builder to prepare email content for distribution. These endpoints enable a complete content pipeline from MindManager to published posts and related communications.
Yes. You can trigger email workflows when a new post is created by using the emails builder and scheduling endpoints. For example, after a post is drafted, you can generate an email template, populate content, and schedule its delivery to your subscriber list.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. If the slug exists, you can modify the title or slug, re-check, and proceed once it’s unique. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and preserves SEO integrity.
Storing API keys in MindManager is common, but you should use secure storage features and restrict access to trusted users. Enable encryption at rest and review access logs. Consider rotating credentials on a regular schedule to minimize risk.
Absolutely. You can create and update blog posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and manage authors (POST /blogs/authors) and categories (POST /blogs/categories) from MindManager. This enables end-to-end content lifecycle automation without manual steps.
