Access to the Blogs API requires a secure API key or OAuth token. Generate credentials in your GHL developer settings and store them securely in Newie’s connector. Use the provided client id/secret flow for ongoing access and refresh.
Newie uses standard OAuth 2.0 with scopes to access the Blogs API. After you grant permissions, Newie will refresh tokens automatically and retry on transient failures to ensure reliability.

Authenticate with the Blogs API by using your API key or OAuth token, as configured in GHL. In Newie, select the Blogs API connection and complete the client credentials flow or token-based setup. Ensure your tokens have the scope of read, write, and manage posts as required. If needed, refresh tokens automatically to maintain access. The setup wizard will guide you through the exact steps relevant to your account.
For creating posts, use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint with payload containing title, content, slug, and metadata. For updates, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify existing posts. You can also fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors to populate authors in Newie.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and SEO issues. You can check slug existence as part of your workflow in Newie before creating a post.
Map fields carefully: title -> title, content -> content, slug -> slug, author -> authorId, category -> categoryId, tags -> tags. Validate types and ensure rich text vs plain text mapping. Use the endpoints to fetch reference data (authors, categories) as needed.
No-code setup is possible with triggers, actions, and field mapping in the connector. However, some scenarios may require light scripting for advanced transformations. The intuitive UI handles most common use cases.
Data flows can be real-time via webhooks for updates or scheduled for routine sync. Use retries and error handling to ensure reliability, and log failures for troubleshooting.
You can view logs in Newie’s connector dashboard and in GHL’s activity logs. Enable verbose logging and set up alerts for failures or token expirations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
