Obtain an API key for the Blogs API and grant the required scope. Use this key in pdfFiller to authorize requests. Scope may include read access to essential endpoints.
In pdfFiller, set up a connection using the Blogs API key and assign the scope emails/builder.readonly to enable reading and posting blog data.
GET emails/builder; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; POST /blogs/posts
Trigger: new pdfFiller submission triggers POST /blogs/posts to create a draft post.
Actions: map fields to post title, content, and slug; set author and category; optionally set publish flag.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: on update, send PUT to /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: update title, content, slug and tags; preserve postId.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: before publishing, validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: if slug exists, auto generate a unique slug; otherwise use proposed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, title

No coding is required for most standard setups. Use the Blogs API and pdfFiller’s workflow builder in a visual, no-code environment to connect the two apps. Start by authorizing the connection and selecting the posts endpoints you plan to use. Next, map the pdfFiller fields to blog post fields such as title, content, and slug, then test with sample data to ensure correct mapping and formatting.
For basic publishing you will typically use endpoints to create and publish posts, such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, plus GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to guard against duplicate slugs. Use these in a simple workflow to push form submissions into new or updated posts. The two-step flow ensures you can draft content from submissions and then publish once approved.
Yes. Set up triggers so that when a pdfFiller form is edited, the corresponding post is updated via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Map the fields accordingly so changes flow directly from pdfFiller into the blog post content and metadata. Test the update path with a sample submission to confirm that edits are reflected correctly.
Slug collisions are common when auto creating posts. Use the slug existence check GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to determine uniqueness, and auto generate a unique slug if needed. This prevents broken links and SEO issues. Maintain a consistent slug strategy across posts to keep URLs stable.
Typical mappings include title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId. You can also map tags or status to control publish flow. Keep a fallback if a field is missing so your posts remain valid drafts. Document the mapping so future changes stay consistent.
APIs may enforce rate limits. Plan retries and exponential backoff in your workflow. Use retrieval and publish actions within allowable quotas and monitor runs for any throttling messages. If needed, stagger submissions to avoid bursts and ensure reliable processing.
View integration activity in your GHL workflow history and in the pdfFiller logs. Each run shows API requests and responses, so you can diagnose mapping issues or failed posts. Enable alerting for failures to stay on top of publishing status.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
