Authenticate using your GHL API credentials to grant Motion access. Create an API app in GHL, copy the client credentials, and complete the OAuth flow to allow Motion to read and manage blog data securely.
Motion uses OAuth tokens issued by GHL to securely access blog data. Ensure the token scopes include blogs/posts, blogs/authors, and blogs/categories as needed for your workflows.
Sample endpoints you’ll likely work with include: GET /blogs/posts to read posts, POST /blogs/posts to create new content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/posts to retrieve lists of posts. Use these to build robust, automated workflows between GHL and Motion without writing code.
Trigger: When a new blog post is published in GHL Blogs API.
Action: Create or update the corresponding post in Motion and push metadata to related workflows.
GET /blogs/posts
Required fields: postId, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryIds, publishedDate
Trigger: When a post is updated in GHL.
Action: Update the matching post in Motion and notify subscribers as needed.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, status, publishedDate
Trigger: When a new author or category is added in GHL.
Action: Create or update author and category records in Motion to keep taxonomy aligned.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Author fields: authorId, name, bio; Category fields: categoryId, name
No‑code setup lets you connect the Blogs API to Motion in minutes, turning complex data flows into simple automations.
Automate content workflows, reduce manual data entry, and accelerate publishing pipelines without writing a line of code.
Keep blog data synchronized across platforms automatically, with real‑time updates and reliable triggers.
A concise glossary of API terms, endpoints, and workflows used to connect GHL with Motion and streamline content operations.
API stands for Application Programming Interface, a set of rules that lets two apps talk to each other and exchange data.
A slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in links and slugs like /my-post-title.
OAuth is the authorization framework that lets Motion access GHL data securely without sharing credentials.
A webhook is a callback URL that receives real-time data updates from GHL when specific events occur.
Automatically publish blog drafts from Motion when they’re ready, syncing status and publish date.
Get notifications when posts hit engagement milestones or reach a defined threshold.
Automatically attribute posts to authors in Motion and keep author bios in sync across platforms.
In GHL, create a new API integration and obtain your client credentials (client ID and secret).
Assign scopes such as blogs/posts, blogs/authors, and blogs/categories as required by your workflows.
Complete the OAuth flow in Motion and run a test to verify post, author, and category synchronization.
Yes. You must authenticate the GHL account to allow Motion to access blog data. After authentication, Motion can perform actions within the permissions granted by the scopes. This keeps your data secure while enabling automated workflows. You can test connections with sample GET and POST requests to verify that posts, authors, and categories sync correctly.
For a typical blog workflow, focus on endpoints like GET /blogs/posts to pull content, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/categories / GET /blogs/authors to manage taxonomy. These provide the core data you’ll need to automate publishing, updates, and attribution in Motion.
Yes. No‑code tools allow you to connect the GHL Blogs API to Motion using prebuilt triggers and actions. You can set up workflows that publish new posts, update posts, or notify teams without writing code, reducing setup time and maintenance.
Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify uniqueness before publishing. This prevents duplicate URLs and ensures clean, SEO-friendly links across platforms.
Absolutely. You can synchronize authors and categories by regularly pulling from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then mirroring changes in Motion. This keeps taxonomy aligned and attribution accurate.
No‑code integration delivers rapid deployment, easy maintenance, and the ability to iterate on workflows. You’ll gain automation benefits without a development backlog, plus built‑in error handling and retries.
Sample requests and test data are available in the motion app’s API guide. Use the provided endpoints like /blogs/posts, /blogs/authors, and /blogs/categories to experiment, then adapt your workflows in a sandbox environment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
