Authenticate the Blogs API in GHL using OAuth 2.0. You’ll obtain a client ID and secret, request access tokens, and securely refresh them as needed. Scope the tokens to read/write endpoints you need for content and status updates.
Authenticate Pingdom by generating an API credential and securely authorizing requests. Store tokens safely and apply least-privilege access for monitoring alerts and workflow triggers.
Endpoint examples you’ll use include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, and more. You’ll typically work with endpoints under blogs/ and emails/, such as blogs/posts, blogs/categories, blogs/authors, and blogs/check-slug, to sync content, monitor health, and drive automation.
Trigger: Pingdom detects downtime or slow responses; a GHL workflow flags affected content in Blogs API and notifies editors.
Actions: create or update blog drafts, publish status updates, and route alerts to the content team.
Methods/paths: GET emails/builder, GET blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/posts.
Key fields: postId, slug, status, timestamp, pingdomEventId.
Trigger: Pingdom performance thresholds are met; trigger a scheduled publish or update in Blogs API.
Actions: schedule posts, adjust publication windows, tag content with performance metrics.
Methods/paths: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, POST /emails/builder/data.
Key fields: postId, publishTime, performanceScore, latency.
Trigger: A failed sync prompts a rollback and requeue of tasks.
Actions: revert changes, notify stakeholders, log incident, and retry with backoff.
Methods/paths: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, DELETE /blogs/posts/:postId.
Key fields: postId, errorCode, errorMessage, retryCount.
Fast setup with drag-and-drop connectors lets you build automations without custom coding.
Automated monitoring keeps content accurate and up-to-date without manual checks.
Faster incident response and streamlined publishing across teams.
This glossary explains endpoints, HTTP methods, triggers, actions, and fields used to connect the Blogs API with Pingdom in GHL.
A specific URL path that performs an action on the server, e.g., GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts.
The action to perform on a resource (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
The process of proving identity and granting access to APIs and endpoints.
A data element used in requests and responses, such as postId, slug, or status.
Automatically draft or update blog posts when Pingdom detects uptime changes or performance issues.
Tag and categorize content based on performance scores to guide optimization.
Schedule posts to publish during low-traffic periods when checks pass.
Collect API keys, set scopes, and whitelist endpoints in both the Blogs API and Pingdom.
Set up Pingdom alerts to trigger actions in the Blogs API workflows.
Run end-to-end tests, confirm data flows correctly, and refine mappings.
Authentication for the Blogs API in GHL uses OAuth 2.0 tokens. You’ll exchange a client ID and secret for access tokens, and refresh tokens as needed. Store credentials securely and apply the principle of least privilege for endpoints you plan to use. In addition, token scopes determine which actions the integration can perform on Blog posts, categories, and other resources. If you need more control, consider rotating credentials regularly and auditing access.
For content monitoring, endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors provide visibility into your content catalog. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates, and POST /blogs/posts to create or update entries. Pingdom-related triggers can alert when uptime dips or latency spikes occur, guiding automatic adjustments.
Yes. You can wire Pingdom checks to trigger publish or update actions in the Blogs API. Define alerts that kick off GHL workflows to schedule posts, adjust statuses, or notify editors. Ensure your endpoints support idempotent operations to avoid duplicates during retries.
No-code connectors allow you to map fields, set up triggers, and route data without writing code. For more advanced needs, you can still augment with small scripts or custom fields, but many common workflows—monitoring, publishing, and notifications—work well with no-code automation.
When an error occurs, implement retries with backoff and clear error logging. Use fallback endpoints or alternate workflows to maintain data consistency. Alerts to the content team help reduce downtime and speed up resolution.
Typical fields include postId, slug, title, content, status, publishedAt, and lastModified. You may also track pingdomEventId, latency, and errorCode when problems arise to correlate events and actions.
For additional resources, refer to the Blogs API and Pingdom integration docs, developer portals, and related tutorials. Community forums and product newsletters often publish example workflows and best practices for GHL automations with content endpoints.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
