Authorize requests to the Blogs API using OAuth tokens or API keys scoped for blog creation, updates, and category access. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Capture Nextdoor credentials and grant only the needed permissions to post, edit, and remove blog content from the connected app. Use least-privilege principles.

Keep Nextdoor in sync by pushing changes to title, content, and featured image whenever the blog is updated.
When a post is archived, automatically hide or remove its Nextdoor counterpart and preserve a record in your CMS.
In your GHL dashboard, add a new API connection for Blogs API to Nextdoor and grant only the necessary scopes (emails, blogs).
Pair blog fields (title, content, slug) with Nextdoor post fields and select the core endpoints for publishing and updates.
Run tests in a staging environment, verify scheduled posts, and switch to live once green.
Yes. The Blogs API connection to Nextdoor can be set up with no-code tools, using visual workflows to map fields and triggers. You’ll authenticate, connect endpoints, and automate posting without writing code. This is ideal for teams that want speed and reliability. Pro tip: start with a test blog and a sandbox Nextdoor account to validate every step before going live.
To publish a post, you’ll typically use the Blogs API’s post creation endpoint (POST /blogs/posts) and map its fields to a Nextdoor post. Ensure the post title, slug, content, and publishDate are correctly set, and verify the Nextdoor audience keeps aligned with your branding. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid conflicts.
Testing involves using a staging environment or a sandbox Nextdoor account. Run a draft post through the pipeline, inspect the payload, and confirm the post appears on Nextdoor with the expected title, image, and excerpt. Validate error handling and retries to ensure resilience in your automation.
Slug collisions are prevented by checking URL-slug availability before publishing. If a collision is detected, generate a unique slug (for example, by appending a short hash) and retry the publish. Keep a record of old slugs for reference. For updates, ensure the slug remains stable or adjust the routing in your mapping to reflect changes gracefully.
Yes. You can schedule Nextdoor publications using the scheduling features in the Blogs API and your automation tool. Create a publishDate field in the payload and trigger the Nextdoor post at the desired time. Review time zones and ensure consistency across platforms. Always test scheduled posts in a staging environment before going live to avoid timing issues.
Both systems support secure authentication via tokens and scoped permissions. Use best practices such as rotating keys, enforcing least privilege, and auditing access. Ensure transport security with HTTPS and monitor for unusual activity. In addition, use webhooks and retries to recover gracefully from transient failures.
If Nextdoor loses permission, re-authorize the connection in the GHL dashboard and re-run the test flow. Ensure the content and mappings remain valid. If you must re-create the connection, export and re-import your existing mappings to minimize disruption.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
