Authentication ensures secure communication between GHL and the Blogs API. Use API keys scoped to blogs endpoints and rotate credentials regularly.
To authorize the Blogs API app, create an API key, grant read/write access to blogs endpoints, and securely store credentials.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data, POST emails/builder, and more as needed for publishing and managing content.
Trigger: A new blog draft is created in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish the draft; map title, content, slug, category, and author.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, status
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to apply changes; sync title, content, slug, and metadata.
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, updated_at
Trigger: Before publishing, verify slug uniqueness.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique.
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
No coding required—connect Blogs API to GHL using pre-built triggers and actions.
Maintain data consistency across platforms with automatic field mapping and validation.
Understand the main elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect Blogs API with GHL.
A defined set of rules that lets software programs communicate with each other.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the post URL.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a feature of an API.
A callback URL that receives real-time data from another app when events occur.
Automatically push new drafts from the app into the Blogs API to publish on your blog.
Reflect edits in the app to the published posts via PUT to keep content current.
Validate slug uniqueness and auto-correct before publishing to avoid conflicts.
Create API keys, grant access to blog endpoints, and store credentials securely.
Map fields between Apps: title, content, slug, category, author, and status.
Run tests, verify webhooks, and monitor logs to ensure reliable operation.
No coding is required thanks to no-code triggers and actions that map to common publishing workflows. Use prepared templates to connect events like new drafts to publish actions without writing a line of code. If you do code, you can customize field mappings and error handling for edge cases. The goal is a reliable, repeatable flow that anyone on your team can run.
Publishing typically uses POST /blogs/posts to create new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness before publish. Ensure your mappings include title, content, slug, category, and author so posts appear correctly in your blog.
Slug checks are essential to avoid duplicate URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists prior to publish. If a slug exists, adjust by appending a unique suffix or using an automatic slug generator. This keeps URLs clean and search-friendly.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the content, metadata, or status of an already published post. Changes flow back through to the blog immediately, ensuring consistency across platforms.
Authenticate by generating an API key scoped to blog endpoints, then include that key in your requests. Rotate keys periodically and store credentials securely using your platform’s secret management.
You can map common fields such as title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, and status. Advanced mappings can include metadata like tags, excerpts, and publish date if supported by your implementation.
Monitor the connection from your app’s dashboard and the GHL integration logs. Look for authentication errors, endpoint throttling, or inconsistent data mappings and adjust as needed.
