Establish a secure connection to the Blogs API by choosing the appropriate auth method (API key or OAuth) and granting scoped access to emails and blog data.
Configure MoonClerk to request the minimum required permissions, test the connection, and rotate credentials regularly to keep data safe.
Use a mix of endpoints listed below to automate MoonClerk to Blogs API flows. Examples include GET emails/builder, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to manage content from MoonClerk triggers.
Trigger: publish a new blog post in Blogs API and send a notification email via MoonClerk’s email builder when a form is submitted.
Actions: map post data to blog fields, create a post, schedule an email, and log engagement.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug
Trigger: a MoonClerk form submission creates a new blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: map form fields to post fields, set slug, publish status, and return a confirmation to MoonClerk.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: on-demand or scheduled reports pull blog metrics from Blogs API.
Actions: fetch posts, counts, views, opens, and writes to MoonClerk dashboards or emails.
GET /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, views, opens, clicks, engagement
Automate content workflows without writing code, reducing manual steps.
Real-time data sync between MoonClerk and your blog content ensures up-to-date engagement.
Easy scalability as your blog and form volume grows, with simple endpoint mappings.
This glossary defines the core elements used to connect MoonClerk with the Blogs API through GHL, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules and protocols that enables apps to communicate and exchange data.
Slug is the URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in the final web address.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving posts or creating a post.
OAuth 2.0 is a secure authorization framework used to grant limited access to a user’s data without sharing credentials.
If a visitor signs up via MoonClerk, auto-create a welcome post draft in Blogs API and send a confirmation email.
Automatically convert MoonClerk form data into a blog draft, then route for reviewer approval via MoonClerk.
Aggregate weekly posts and send a digest to subscribers via MoonClerk emails.
Create and test API credentials for both MoonClerk and the Blogs API, choosing the proper scopes.
Define mappings between MoonClerk form fields and blog post fields such as title, content, slug, and author.
Run end-to-end tests, verify endpoints, and enable automation in production.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for emails and blog content that MoonClerk can trigger to manage communications and posts. By using the correct scope and credentials, you can automate email campaigns tied to blog events. No coding is required for basic automations; you can map fields and set up triggers in the MoonClerk UI to call the Blog endpoints.
No coding is required for most common tasks. The integration uses standard endpoints and field mappings. If you want advanced flows, you can add conditional logic and webhooks to tailor actions based on form responses.
Essential endpoints for a basic MoonClerk integration include GET emails/builder, POST blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to populate content and metadata. These endpoints cover creating posts, checking slugs, retrieving categories and authors, and managing email templates used for notifications.
Security best practices include using OAuth or API keys, applying the least-privilege scopes, rotating credentials, and storing secrets securely. Always monitor API usage with logs and alerts, and respect rate limits to maintain reliability.
Yes. You can automate publishing blog posts from MoonClerk by creating a post via the Blogs API and setting its status to published upon trigger. Pair this with a MoonClerk email notification to welcome subscribers to new content.
Yes. You can edit posts after creation by using the PUT endpoint to update title, content, slug, or status. Ongoing updates can be synchronized back to MoonClerk fields if needed.
Endpoint rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Consult the API docs for current quotas and best practices to batch requests where possible. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and staggered schedules.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
