Authenticate your Blogs API connection securely by storing API credentials in GHL. Use OAuth tokens or API keys provided in your developer console to grant access to endpoints like blogs and emails for data flow.
Connect Pinterest through the app connector by granting permissions during the OAuth flow. This ensures pins and boards can be created, updated, and linked to blog content.
Relevant endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /emails/builder, GET /emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /emails/builder, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET /blogs/post/write, GET /blogs/post-update.write, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/author, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: Create a Pinterest pin using the blog post title, hero image, and URL.
POST /blogs/posts
title, url, heroImage, excerpt
Trigger when a blog post is updated.
Actions: Update the corresponding Pinterest pin to reflect changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, url, heroImage
Trigger when a new blog category is added or updated.
Actions: Create or update Pinterest boards named after categories and pin relevant posts to those boards.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name
Automate content distribution to Pinterest without writing code.
Centralize content workflows in one dashboard.
Reduce manual publishing and human error.
This section defines common terms and the core processes involved when connecting Blogs API with Pinterest, including endpoints, authentication, and data mapping.
A set of rules that allows software applications to communicate and exchange data.
An authorization framework that enables third-party access to resources without sharing credentials.
A specific URL exposed by an API that performs a defined action.
A real-time HTTP callback that sends data when a particular event happens.
Create pins using the post title, hero image, and URL; organize pins by blog category.
Update existing pins to reflect changes in title or URL.
Automatically pin featured sections or summaries to showcase new content across boards.
In GHL, choose Blogs API and Pinterest app connections and grant access.
Link blog post fields (title, URL, image) to Pinterest pin fields (name, link, image).
Turn on the flow and test with a sample post.
The Blogs API is a structured interface that allows you to create, read, update, and manage blog content, categories, authors, and related data. It exposes endpoints for posts, categories, and authors that you can leverage in automations. This API is designed to be connected with external apps like Pinterest through a no-code or low-code workflow. The integration with Pinterest via GHL enables you to publish blog content as pins, align boards with topics, and keep pins up-to-date when posts change.
Yes. By configuring a workflow in GHL that uses the Blogs API endpoints for creating posts and updating them, you can automatically pin new posts to Pinterest. The trigger can fire on post creation, and the action can generate a new pin with the post title, URL, and image. You can also update pins when posts are edited to keep content current.
To publish a post, you typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. You may also reference GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. Mapping fields such as title, url, excerpt, and heroImage is essential for successful pin creation.
OAuth is commonly used to securely authorize the Pinterest app and the Blogs API connection within GHL. You’ll complete an authorization flow to grant permissions, after which tokens are stored securely to enable ongoing data exchange without re-authentication. API keys can be used for server-to-server setups if supported by your platform.
Use a test post and a test board to simulate the flow. In GHL, run the workflow in test mode to verify that a new blog post results in a pin created on the chosen Pinterest board. Check logs for any endpoint errors, map fields correctly, and confirm that image, title, and URL are populated as expected.
Yes. You can map blog categories to separate Pinterest boards, ensuring new posts in a category publish to the corresponding board. This requires retrieving categories via GET /blogs/categories and creating or selecting matching boards in Pinterest as part of the automation logic.
If an endpoint returns an error (invalid field, missing token, rate limit), review the mapping, authenticate status, and endpoint permissions. The workflow should include error handling steps, retries, and alert conditions to notify you when manual intervention is needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
