Authenticate using your GHL API credentials. Generate an access token from the GHL developer console and include it in the Authorization header for each request.
OpenCRM securely stores and manages API credentials. Ensure the app has read and write permissions for posts, categories, and authors to enable smooth syncing.
Key endpoints you may use include GET emails/builder, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and related slug and category checks.
Trigger: A new or updated draft in OpenCRM triggers a create post call to Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and optionally attach author and category data via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Method Path: /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, excerpt, author, categories
Trigger: When a slug is created or updated, validate availability and synchronize metadata.
Actions: Check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; pull categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts.
Method Path: /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, status, publishedDate
Trigger: Updates to categories or authors in Blogs API should refresh OpenCRM metadata.
Actions: Fetch /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors and align OpenCRM records; optionally sync post categories.
Method Path: /blogs/categories or /blogs/authors
Key fields: id, name, slug
Fast setup with drag and drop automations—no custom coding required.
Automatic content publishing and updates across channels from a single workflow.
Unified content management between your CMS and CRM to save time and reduce errors.
Definitions of essential terms and processes to help you implement the integration smoothly.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a task via the API, such as retrieving posts or creating a post.
The process of verifying identity and access rights to call the API, typically using tokens or OAuth.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used to create readable links.
A real-time notification mechanism that informs your system when data changes in the source service.
Capture notes in OpenCRM and push draft posts to Blogs API for quick publishing.
Publish across blogs and newsletters automatically via the Blogs API endpoints.
Use the scheduling endpoints to plan a content calendar from OpenCRM.
Generate an access token for Blogs API and securely connect it to OpenCRM.
Match OpenCRM fields to Blogs API fields (title, content, slug, category, author) for reliable syncing.
Run tests for post creation and updates; set alerts for failures and monitor endpoint health.
You authenticate with a token obtained from the GHL developer console. Include the token in the Authorization header for every call. Use refresh tokens when provided and store tokens securely to prevent leaks. Regularly rotate credentials as part of your security policy.
Key publishing endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with taxonomy and author data.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to verify if a slug is already in use before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate content and broken links. If a conflict exists, modify the slug and retry.
Fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories, then map those values to your OpenCRM posts. This ensures consistent attribution and taxonomy across platforms. You can refresh these lookups on a schedule for up-to-date data.
Yes. The integration is designed for no-code automation. Use the connector’s triggers and actions to set up publish and sync flows without writing code. This accelerates deployment and reduces maintenance overhead.
Use robust error handling: check HTTP status codes, log error messages, and implement retries with exponential backoff. Validate required fields before calls, and monitor endpoint health to catch outages early.
Publish or update events are typically reflected in OpenCRM as soon as the API call succeeds. Use the response payload to verify post IDs, slugs, and status. Implement a dashboard to monitor failed attempts and retry when needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
