To connect Blogs API with Oneflow, obtain an API key or OAuth token with the scopes needed for reading emails, managing posts, and fetching categories and authors. Store credentials securely and rotate them per your security policy.
Authorize Oneflow to access your GHL resources. During setup, provide the client credentials and authorize the connection, selecting the required scopes to read templates, posts, authors, and categories.
Used endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/:postId
Trigger: a new blog draft is created in Oneflow, then push to Blogs API to publish.
Actions: call POST /blogs/posts to create the post with title, content, slug, author, and category. Optionally update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed; confirm with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: an author or category is added or updated in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate Oneflow fields; map id and name to author and category lists.
GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
authors: id, name, bio; categories: id, name
Trigger: a new post draft in Oneflow appears; validate slug against Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug; POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update as needed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
slug, title, content, postId
Faster publishing: turn ideas into live posts without writing code.
Unified content workflows: keep authors, categories, and posts synced across systems.
Scalable automation: repeatable processes with triggers and actions to scale content programs.
A quick glossary of the core concepts and processes used when connecting the Blogs API with Oneflow through GHL.
A specific URL (endpoint) exposed by an API that performs a defined operation when requested by a client.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in permalinks and SEO-friendly URLs.
An authorization framework that allows one app to access another on behalf of a user, using tokens rather than passwords.
A blog article published on a site or platform; in this context, created or updated via the Blogs API.
Automatically pull top posts from Blogs API and publish a weekly summary in Oneflow.
Use triggers to create drafts in Oneflow and publish to Blogs API.
Pull author data and feature contributors in the blog.
Create OAuth credentials and authorize Oneflow to access your GHL resources.
Select the endpoints you need (blogs and emails) and set trigger events in Oneflow.
Map title, content, slug, and metadata between systems and run a test workflow.
No coding is required. This is a no-code integration using pre-built connectors and visual workflows you can configure in minutes. You can set up triggers for events like new drafts or updates and actions to create or modify posts. While no code is required, a basic understanding of how the endpoints map to fields helps optimize your flow. | With proper security practices, you can keep credentials and tokens rotated and stored securely.
To post a blog from Oneflow, you typically need endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create a post and, when needed, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You’ll map fields like title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, and metadata. Additional steps may include validating the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creation.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug already exists. If it does, you can update the existing post instead of creating a duplicate. This prevents conflicts and preserves post history. If not, proceed with creation via POST /blogs/posts.
Yes. You can fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories to populate choices in Oneflow. This enables accurate mapping of authors and categories when creating or updating posts.
OAuth is a common approach to secure integrations. You can use OAuth tokens or API keys with the required scopes. Follow your organization’s security policy to store and rotate credentials safely.
Scopes typically include read access to templates and posts and write access to create or update posts. For this integration, ensure the scopes cover reading emails templates (emails/builder.readonly) and writing blogs posts (blogs/post-update.write).
Test the integration in a sandbox or staging environment. Create a test draft in Oneflow, trigger the workflow, and verify that a corresponding post is created or updated in Blogs API. Review logs and mapping to ensure data integrity.
