Use a secure API key and OAuth 2.0 credentials to authorize requests to the Blogs API. Store credentials safely in your NoteForms settings and rotate them regularly.
NoteForms uses the same credentials to access the Blogs API. Ensure the required scopes are granted (for example: emails/builder.readonly and blog write endpoints).
Endpoints involved: – GET emails/builder – GET emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts).
Actions: create or update an email draft in NoteForms via emails/builder, schedule delivery with emails/schedule, and optionally send immediately.
POST /blogs/posts and POST emails/builder
postId, title, slug, excerpt, authorId, categoryId, publishedDate
Trigger when a new author or category is added/updated in Blogs API (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories).
Actions: map and store in NoteForms for use in segmentation; create filters by author/category.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, name; categoryId, name
Trigger when slug exists or is checked during blog creation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, blogs/check-slug.readonly).
Actions: verify slug uniqueness before creating a post, then publish via POST /blogs/posts and send a confirmation email.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and POST /blogs/posts
slug, postId, title
Build powerful workflows without touching code. Connect endpoints, trigger actions, and automate delivery in minutes.
Rapid MVPs: test ideas quickly, iterate, and scale as your audience grows.
A centralized dashboard in NoteForms to monitor blog-driven email campaigns and performance.
Key elements include authentication, endpoints, data mapping, and triggers. Understand how data flows between Blogs API and NoteForms to design reliable automations.
A specific path exposed by the GHL Blogs API used to perform actions like creating a post, fetching authors, or checking a slug.
The method used to authorize requests (API keys or OAuth 2.0). Ensure the correct scopes are granted for each endpoint.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in SEO and routing (e.g., /blog/my-first-post).
A way for apps to receive real-time notifications when events occur, such as a new post being published.
Trigger a welcome email when a new user publishes their first blog post via the Blogs API, then track engagement in NoteForms.
Aggregate the week’s posts and send a digest to subscribers through NoteForms automation.
Create category-specific newsletters by pulling posts from specific blog categories via Blogs API.
In GHL, generate an API key with the necessary scopes, then paste it in NoteForms and test the connection.
Select the endpoints you’ll use (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories) and map them to NoteForms triggers and actions.
Run a test to publish a blog post and verify the corresponding email is delivered to your test list.
You will typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish content and GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/categories to populate author and category data in your workflows. Each endpoint exposes data you can map into NoteForms fields and use in triggers.
No coding is required for the core integration. The NoteForms UI lets you connect using API keys, map endpoints to triggers, and build automated emails and posts. Advanced users can extend with custom actions if needed.
Recommended authentication is API key with scoped permissions or OAuth 2.0 depending on your security posture. Always apply the least-privilege principle and refresh tokens regularly.
Yes. You can schedule emails to accompany new posts or round up weekly digests. Use the emails/schedule endpoints to set timing and delivery rules.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness. If a slug exists, adjust your post title or slug accordingly before publishing.
Authors and categories are exposed via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. Map these to NoteForms fields to enrich segmentation and targeting.
Official API docs are available in your GHL developer portal. Look for the Blogs API section and endpoint reference, including examples and authentication notes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
