Blogs API uses API keys with scoped permissions. Create or regenerate a key with read/write access to the blogs and posts endpoints, and keep it secure.
Netgsm authentication relies on an API token or credentials. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically for best practices.
Representative endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET blogs/posts, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Map only the endpoints you need for your workflow to keep your integration lean.
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Send an SMS via Netgsm containing the post title and a link, and optionally log the notification in your activity feed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, publishDate, status
Trigger when a blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Push a summary of the update to Netgsm and re-send alerts to the audience.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, status
Before publishing, check slug existence using Blogs API.
If slug exists, halt publish and notify the team; otherwise proceed with publishing.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate cross‑platform workflows without writing code, using visual builders and pre-built triggers.
Achieve real-time updates between your blog content and messaging channels for timely outreach.
Centralize data flows and improve accuracy by mapping fields once for reuse across campaigns.
This glossary explains common terms used in the integration between Blogs API and Netgsm via GHL, including endpoints, data fields, and workflows.
An application programming interface that lets apps talk to each other. In this page, the Blogs API and Netgsm expose endpoints you can call to automate content and messaging flows.
A specific URL that performs an action (e.g., GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts). Endpoints define the capabilities of an API.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the blog URL. Slug existence checks help prevent duplicate or conflicting URLs.
A callback URL that receives real-time data from an API when an event occurs, enabling live integrations.
Whenever a new post goes live, automatically send an SMS to your list with a compelling excerpt and link.
Aggregate weekly posts and deliver a digest to subscribers via Netgsm to boost engagement.
Use URL slugs to segment audiences and trigger targeted SMS campaigns based on topics.
Obtain API keys for Blogs API and an API token for Netgsm, then authorize both services in your workspace.
Choose the endpoints you need (e.g., blogs/posts, /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and map fields like title, slug, and content to your messaging templates.
Run sandbox tests, verify triggers, and monitor delivery and logs before enabling live workflows.
Blogs API is a programmable interface that lets you manage blog content and related data (post creation, updates, slug checks, categories, authors). In this guide, you’ll learn how Blogs API talks to Netgsm using GHL endpoints to automate messaging and notifications. By combining endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, you can trigger SMS alerts when new posts publish or updates occur. No heavy coding is required thanks to the no-code automation approach.
Netgsm connects to Blogs API through the GHL gateway by authenticating with tokens and mapping data fields from blog objects to SMS templates. The connection enables triggers such as new post published or post updated to kick off Netgsm messaging campaigns. Ensure the API keys and tokens have appropriate scopes (read/write for blogs and messaging endpoints) and store them securely.
Key endpoints include: GET blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for supporting data. Emails endpoints (e.g., GET emails/builder) are available for parallel automation scenarios but aren’t required for core blog-to-SMS workflows.
No heavy coding is required. Use the visual workflow builder to connect the Blogs API and Netgsm endpoints, configure triggers, and map fields. If advanced logic is needed, small scripts or conditional blocks can be added, but many common use cases are achievable with point-and-click configuration.
Yes. You can schedule messages to Netgsm based on blog events, such as publishing or weekly digests. Use scheduling features to space messages, control cadence, and avoid over-messaging your audience.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API and Netgsm plans. Plan for bursts around post-heavy times and implement backoff in your workflows. If you anticipate higher throughput, consider batching or queuing mechanisms within your automation.
To test, use sandbox credentials and sample posts. Verify each trigger fires correctly, messages are delivered, and data mappings are accurate. Review logs and error messages, adjust field mappings, and retest until the workflow runs smoothly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
