Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL API credentials. Use the appropriate access token and scopes to ensure secure communication between Blogs API and Outfield.
Outfield uses a secure OAuth 2.0 flow or API key depending on your setup. Credentials are stored securely and refreshed automatically to keep the integration active.
Key Blogs API endpoints you will use:\n- GET /blogs/posts\n- POST /blogs/posts\n- PUT /blogs/posts/:postId\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists\n- GET /blogs/categories\n- GET /blogs/authors\n- GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: A new blog draft is approved in Outfield, automatically published in Blogs API.
Actions: Create or update a blog post in Blogs API with title, slug, content, and metadata.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: A category is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: Retrieve updated category data via GET /blogs/categories and map to Outfield taxonomy.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name, description
Actions: Fetch author details via GET /blogs/authors and attach to posts in Outfield.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio
No-code integration lets you connect the two systems through a guided UI without writing code.
Automated content sync keeps blog posts up to date across platforms with scheduled or event-driven triggers.
Built-in error handling and retries reduce downtime and manual intervention.
Understand the main components: endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and field mappings that connect Blogs API with Outfield in GHL.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that allow apps to communicate and share data.
An event that starts an automation or workflow in your system.
A specific URL path in an API that returns data or performs an action.
A URL-friendly identifier used to reference a post in blogs.
Automatically convert Outfield draft content into a Blogs API post using POST /blogs/posts with mapped fields.
Summarize top Outfield items and push as a daily post to Blogs API via scheduled execution.
Pull highlight posts from Blogs API and share automatically to connected social accounts from Outfield.
Collect your Blogs API access tokens and Outfield app credentials. Ensure the correct scopes are granted for content read and write.
Map endpoints for posts, authors, and categories. Set triggers for new or updated content and define corresponding actions.
Run tests in a staging environment, verify data flow and mappings, then deploy to production with monitoring.
The Blogs API uses secure token based authentication. You will generate an access token with the required scopes for reading and writing blog data. Keep tokens secure and renew them as needed to maintain a stable connection. Regularly rotate credentials to reduce risk and monitor access logs for unusual activity. In addition to tokens, ensure your Outfield app credentials are kept confidential and are refreshed according to your organization’s security policy.
Typical syncing uses endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create new content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with author details. You can also use GET /blogs/categories to align tags and categories. Map these endpoints to triggers and actions in Outfield to automate your workflow.
Yes. You can map custom fields from Outfield to corresponding fields in Blogs API. Use field mappings to ensure title, content, slug, and metadata line up with the Blogs API schema. If a field is missing, you can create a placeholder or omit the field for that particular endpoint while testing the integration.
If an endpoint returns an error, the workflow will retry according to your retry policy. Logs will capture the error details to help you diagnose issues. Common causes include invalid tokens, missing required fields, or rate limiting. Correct credentials and adjust field mappings to resolve these issues.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. If you hit limits, you can stagger requests, batch updates, or add delays between actions. Monitoring and alerting can help you identify when you approach limits so you can adjust automation accordingly.
Testing can be done in a staging environment using sample posts and authors. Validate data maps, triggers, and responses. Once testing passes, enable production deployment and monitor initial runs for any unexpected behavior.
The glossary terms used here include API, Endpoint, Trigger, and Slug. You can find more details in the Key Terms and Glossary section of this page, which explains each term and how it applies to your Blogs API and Outfield integration.
