No, you don’t need to code. The integration uses no code automation concepts in GHL and PaintScout, enabling drag and drop workflows. If you prefer custom behavior, you can still extend via APIs.
Commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs. You may also interact with emails for templates.
Authentication is done via OAuth2 or API keys configured in the GHL dashboard with the scope you need.
Yes. PaintScout allows you to preview content in draft mode before publishing and you can review SEO fields before going live.
Slug checks ensure your blog URLs are unique and optimized for search. The endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicates.

No code automation enables rapid setup, visual workflows, and easy maintenance without coding.
