Authenticate with the Blogs API using OAuth tokens scoped to emails/builder.readonly. Generate, securely store, and rotate access tokens in your GHL developer console to ensure secure access.
Connect Paythen to the Blogs API through Paythen’s app credentials. Use the provided Client ID and Secret, then include these credentials in your requests to authorize actions on blog posts, categories, and authors.
Emails: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; Emails Schedule: GET emails/schedule; Blogs: POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: a new or updated email template is saved in GHL, signaling a new blog draft in Paythen.
Actions: map email content to blog post fields, create a draft via POST /blogs/posts, assign title, body, and slug, then publish or schedule.
POST /blogs/posts; POST /emails/builder/data; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, body, authorId, slug, status
Trigger: calendar event or content queue signals a publish window.
Actions: schedule posts using publishDate in POST /blogs/posts and track status; pull category and author data from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
postId, publishDate, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: a post is published or updated.
Actions: fetch post details, create a corresponding email template via POST /emails/builder, and deploy to subscribers.
GET /blogs/posts; POST /emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data
postId, emailTemplateId, audienceSegment
Faster go-to-market by automating content workflows without writing custom code.

Key elements include endpoints, triggers, data mapping, and authentication. Understand how these pieces fit to automate Paythen and Blogs API workflows.
GHL API is the programmable interface provided by GHL that lets external apps access core resources such as emails, blogs, categories, and authors.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to form the slug in blog URLs.
A sequence of automated steps that connects apps and services to achieve a business outcome.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time data from another service to trigger actions in your app.
Map email content to blog fields (title, body, author) and publish as a post on schedule.
Link draft status with email templates to push drafts to campaigns once approved.
Automatically generate email newsletters from published posts and distribute to segments.
Create API credentials in GHL and configure Paythen with the corresponding Client ID and Secret.
Enable required endpoints in GHL and map them to Paythen actions for posts, categories, authors, and emails.
Run end-to-end tests, monitor logs, and deploy the integration to production.
Paythen uses the Blogs API to automate content creation and distribution. You can pull email templates, convert them into blog posts, and publish on a schedule. This setup reduces manual steps and ensures content consistency across channels. The integration supports defining post metadata like title, slug, and category to align with your publishing workflow.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch metadata. Email-related endpoints (GET/POST /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data) may also be used to source templates for blog content.
Use OAuth tokens scoped to the required resources and securely exchange credentials between Paythen and GHL. Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly. For added security, limit the scope to emails/builder.readonly where appropriate and apply per-application permissions.
Minimum scopes include emails/builder.readonly for viewing templates and blog-related endpoints for reading post data. For publishing or updating posts, write permissions such as blogs/post.write or blogs/posts may be needed. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Use the endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, adjust the title or slug slugify rules and retry. This helps avoid publishing conflicts and broken links.
Yes. Paythen can schedule posts using POST /blogs/posts with a publishDate. You can coordinate with the content calendar and set automatic publish times, or trigger a publish in response to events from other systems.
Check authentication tokens, endpoint permissions, and correct HTTP methods. Review the logs in both Paythen and GHL for error codes, rate limits, and misconfigurations. If needed, regenerate credentials and verify scope mappings between systems.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
