To authorize the integration with GHL, generate an access token for the Blogs API and securely store it in Optix. Use the provided scope (emails/builder.readonly) to limit access to needed resources.
Optix uses API keys or OAuth tokens to access GHL resources. Create and securely store your credentials in Optix and map them to the GHL Blogs API connection.
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder; Endpoint2: GET emails/builder.write; Endpoint3: POST emails/builder; Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data; Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly; Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule; Endpoint8: blogs/post.write; Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts; Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write; Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly; Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly; Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories; Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly; Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new blog post is created in the Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) or updated (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), initiate a workflow in Optix.
Actions: create or update blog content in Optix, push notifications to campaigns, and update dashboards.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId, publishedAt
Trigger: When a blog post is retrieved or updated, fetch author and category metadata from GHL endpoints.
Actions: enrich Optix with author bios, tags, and categories; synchronize metadata with campaigns.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio, avatarUrl, categoryId
Trigger: A new or updated blog post is ready for distribution to subscribers via Optix campaigns.
Actions: publish to email campaigns, schedule digests, and update subscriber analytics.
POST /blogs/posts
postId, title, summary, tags, status
Speed: automate blog workflows without writing code.
Consistency: keep content and campaigns in sync across platforms.
Observability: centralized monitoring and logging in Optix.
Essential elements and processes for integrating the Blogs API with Optix in GHL, including endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and testing.
A defined set of rules and endpoints that enable apps to communicate and exchange data.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used to generate human-readable links.
The main text, media, and metadata that comprise a blog post.
A standard protocol for authorization that grants access tokens to apps without sharing passwords.
Automatically publish new blog posts from Blogs API to Optix campaigns, reducing manual steps and ensuring timely distribution.
Pull author bios and tags to enhance post previews shared via Optix emails and landing pages.
Aggregate weekly posts into a digest and push it to subscribers through Optix campaigns.
Create API keys and set appropriate scopes in GHL; securely store them in Optix.
Map Blogs API endpoints to Optix actions and define data mappings for posts, authors, and categories.
Run test triggers, verify data flow, and monitor logs in Optix to ensure stable automation.
Endpoints listed include blog-related routes such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints allow creation, updates, retrieval of authors and categories, and slug checks to support content workflows in Optix. You can leverage these to drive campaigns and automations without code. In practice, map the relevant endpoints to Optix actions to keep content and campaigns aligned.
The integration uses OAuth 2.0 or API key-based tokens to authorize requests. Generate a token in GHL for the Blogs API and securely store it in Optix. Rotate credentials periodically and apply least-privilege scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) to minimize exposure.
Yes. You can map fields such as title, slug, content, authorId, and categoryId from Blogs API to Optix campaigns and email templates. This enables dynamic content in emails and pages. Use data mappings to ensure consistency across platforms.
Rate limits are determined by your GHL plan and the endpoint type. Plan calls thoughtfully, batch requests when possible, and implement backoff strategies in Optix to avoid throttling. Monitor response headers for limits and adjust polling frequency accordingly.
Use test credentials and a sandbox post to simulate a publish or update event. Check Optix logs for triggered workflows, verify payloads, and confirm that data maps correctly to campaigns. Repeat tests until all fields populate as expected.
API credentials are managed in Optix under the GHL connection settings. You can generate, view, and rotate tokens there. Keep credentials secure, rotate regularly, and revoke unused keys to maintain security.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
