Use your API key or OAuth token from the GHL developer console to authenticate requests from Payaca. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly, granting only the necessary scope (emails/builder.readonly for email workups and blog-related access for publishing and slug checks).
In Payaca, add your Blogs API credentials in the Integrations settings. Use OAuth where available and scope access to emails and blogs as defined by your workflow needs.
Endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/post.write; GET blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET blogs/category.readonly; GET blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new Payaca blog draft is saved; call POST /blogs/posts to create the post in Blogs API.
Actions: populate title, content, slug, author, and category; set publish status as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: edit in Payaca; use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, or POST /blogs/post-update.write for drafts.
Actions: update content, metadata, slug, and publish status as required.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: before publishing, check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: generate a unique slug if exists, then proceed to create or update the post.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Field to check: slug
Fast setup with drag-and-drop workflows and pre-built endpoints—no custom code required.
Easier maintenance through centralized data flows and clear error handling.
Scales with your publishing program as you add more posts, authors, and categories.
Key terms covered: API, endpoint, trigger, action, authentication, slug, category, author. Each term is defined to help you build reliable workflows.
GHL API (the REST API used here) enables Payaca to interact with Blogs data and actions without manual steps.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a function, such as creating a post or checking a slug.
The process (API keys, OAuth) that proves your identity and grants access to the endpoints you need.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post, used for SEO and slug-existence checks to prevent duplicates.
Use a Payaca trigger to publish at optimal times by calling POST /blogs/posts and scheduling via the Blogs API.
Automatically send an email update when a new post is created using emails/builder endpoints.
Check slug availability before publishing and auto-adjust slugs to maximize searchability.
From the GHL developer console, obtain your API key and set the scope to emails/builder.readonly for email tasks and full blog access for publishing.
In Payaca, map endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to your workflow steps.
Run test calls to verify responses, adjust mappings, and confirm successful data flow between Payaca and Blogs API.
No-code integration is supported through the built-in Payaca connectors and the GHL endpoints. You can connect Payaca to the Blogs API by configuring triggers, actions, and field mappings in the Payaca workflow builder without writing custom code. If you need a custom touch, we provide guidance on adapting endpoints within low-code scenarios. For support, reach out to our team to tailor the workflow to your needs.
To publish posts from Payaca, use POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing one. You can check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating to ensure a unique URL.
You can call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify whether a slug is already in use. If the slug exists, generate a new slug (for example, append a number) and retry the publish. This helps maintain SEO-friendly URLs and prevents duplicates.
Yes. By leveraging the Blogs API scheduling features and Payaca triggers, you can set up automatic publishing of posts at predefined times or after content is approved. Map a schedule trigger to the POST /blogs/posts endpoint to enable automatic publishing.
Authors and categories are readable via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. You can map authorId and categoryId in your payloads when creating or updating posts to organize content correctly.
Security is maintained through API keys or OAuth with the specified scope. Keep credentials in a secure vault, rotate keys periodically, and apply the principle of least privilege to limit access to necessary endpoints only.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
