To connect Blogs API with Payfunnels via GHL, obtain an access token with the scope emails/builder.readonly and store it securely. Use OAuth 2.0 or API key authentication as supported by GHL.
Payfunnels authenticates to GHL using client credentials and an OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain access tokens, granting the required permissions for your integration.

This glossary covers API concepts, endpoints, scopes, and authentication used in the GHL Blogs API and Payfunnels integration.
An Application Programming Interface (API) is a defined set of rules that lets applications talk to each other to request and exchange data.
OAuth 2.0 is the authorization framework used to securely obtain access tokens when connecting GHL, Blogs API, and Payfunnels.
Scope defines the permissions granted to an API token, controlling which resources and actions are available (for example, emails/builder.readonly).
A slug is a URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and SEO optimization.
Trigger a welcome blog post when a new subscriber joins Payfunnels; use Blogs API to publish and track engagement.
Automatically push updated posts to landing pages and email templates to keep content fresh.
Combine endpoints to build dashboards showing post performance and audience engagement across channels.
In GHL, generate API credentials for Blogs API and grant the required scope to Payfunnels.
Select endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to enable flows.
Create automations in Payfunnels, test triggers, and monitor results in the GHL dashboard.
Answer: To connect Blogs API with Payfunnels, you’ll authenticate via GHL using OAuth 2.0 or API keys and request a token that includes the emails/builder.readonly scope. Save the token securely and rotate credentials as recommended. You’ll then configure Payfunnels to call the Blogs API endpoints you need for your flows. Next, ensure your app registration in GHL includes the Payfunnels client and that the access token is refreshed before it expires to avoid downtime.
Answer: Common endpoints include GET emails/builder to read email templates, POST /blogs/posts to publish new posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. For automated campaigns, you may use POST /emails/builder to trigger email sends and GET /blogs/categories to organize content. Depending on your workflow, you’ll mix blog and email endpoints to create cohesive content automation.
Answer: No traditional coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code workflows via Payfunnels and the GHL connectors. You’ll configure triggers, actions, and endpoints within the UI, using tokens and fields provided by the APIs. Some basic understanding of endpoints and data mapping is helpful but not mandatory. If a custom transformation is needed, small scripting can be added, but most use cases are achievable with built-in actions.
Answer: Yes. You can automate posts and emails without code by using the pre-built connectors and endpoints in GHL and Payfunnels. Set triggers like “new blog post created” and map fields such as title, slug, and postId to your email templates and landing pages. Test flows in a sandbox environment before going live. If you need more complex logic, you can layer additional steps using conditional rules and simple mappings.
Answer: Start by testing in a staging environment. Connect the accounts, trigger a test blog post, and verify that the corresponding actions (emails, landing pages, etc.) occur as expected. Use logging and monitoring in GHL and Payfunnels to confirm data is flowing correctly. Validate error messages and retry logic to ensure resilience before going live.
