Authenticate to GHL using your API key or OAuth tokens to enable API access from Pitchlane to manage emails and blog content.
Pitchlane authenticates against GHL with an access token, granting permissions to create posts, emails, and schedules.
Key endpoints include: emails/builder, emails/schedule, blogs/posts (create/update), blogs/categories, blogs/authors, and slug checks, plus related GET/PUT/POST variations for full workflow control.
Trigger: When a new or updated blog post is published in Pitchlane, create or update a corresponding email template in the Emails Builder.
Actions: generate email templates from post content, set subject lines, and save to templates.
Method Path: Use blogs/posts endpoints to fetch content and emails/builder endpoints to store templates.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, excerpt, contentPreview, templateId.
Trigger: Schedule updates to newsletters from Pitchlane using the Emails Schedule endpoint.
Actions: create scheduled campaigns, pull blog summaries, set send times.
Method Path: POST /emails/builder/data to attach content; GET /emails/schedule to queue sends.
Key fields: scheduleId, postId, sendTime, recipientGroup.
Trigger: New or updated authors in Pitchlane should sync to GHL authors list.
Actions: map author fields to GHL authors, categories to blog categories.
Method Path: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, PUT /blogs/authors/:authorId.
Key fields: authorId, name, email, bio, categoryIds.
Benefit 1: Faster go-to-market by automating content-to-campaign workflows.
Benefit 2: Real-time data sync between blog posts and campaigns.
Benefit 3: No-code automation that scales with your team.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, keys, and fields used to map data between GHL and Pitchlane.
GHL API: The RESTful interface that exposes resources for managing emails, blogs, authors, and more from external apps.
APPNAME refers to the Pitchlane app in this guide, the integration partner used to connect with the GHL Blogs API.
GHLAPINAME is the API name for the GHL service in this integration (Blogs API).
An API endpoint is a URL path you call to perform an action in the GHL system (e.g., GET /blogs/posts).
Automatically generate a welcome email from a new post and publish on a schedule.
Group posts by topic and send targeted newsletters to subscribers.
Highlight author bios and latest posts in campaigns.
Obtain your GHL API key and create a Pitchlane app key to authorize requests.
Use OAuth or API keys to connect Pitchlane to GHL, test the connection.
Link blog post fields to email fields and configure triggers and schedules.
You can authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens. Start by generating a GHL API key in your account and supply it to Pitchlane to authorize requests to create posts, emails, and schedules. For ongoing security, rotate credentials regularly and limit scope to the necessary permissions. Use OAuth if you prefer token-based access with user consent, especially for team-wide installations. In practice, you’ll configure the connection in Pitchlane’s integration settings, test the connection, and verify that you can pull and push content without errors. This ensures that your campaigns reflect your latest blog posts and updates securely.
Essential endpoints typically include GET /blogs/posts to read content, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /emails/builder to fetch templates, POST /emails/builder/data to attach content, and GET /emails/schedule to queue sends. Depending on your workflow you may also use GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for validation. Use these endpoints to build a seamless flow from blog publishing to email distribution, ensuring consistency between published content and what readers receive.
Yes. The integration is designed for no-code automation. Create triggers (for new posts, updates, or author changes), map fields, and configure schedules from Pitchlane’s UI. You can set up templates and campaigns that react to content events without writing code. If you need more advanced logic, you can layer conditions and workflows using the endpoints to tailor messaging, segment audiences, and time deliveries based on reader engagement or post metadata.
Map fields by aligning blog post properties (title, slug, excerpt, content) with email template fields (subject, preheader, body, CTA). Create a mapping schema in Pitchlane that transfers postId, authorId, categoryIds, and publishDate to your email templates and campaigns. Validate mappings with a test post to ensure data integrity. Regularly review mappings as your content model evolves (e.g., new categories or author fields) to keep campaigns accurate and relevant.
Most API plans enforce rate limits to prevent abuse. Plan your calls to read content before sending updates and batch operations where possible. If you approach limits, implement exponential backoff and retries for resilience. For high-volume sites, consider scheduling windows and leveraging bulk endpoints when available to reduce the number of requests while maintaining up-to-date campaigns.
Connecting the apps does not delete existing content. It enables synchronization between systems so that published posts, authors, and categories are reflected in campaigns. You can continue editing content in Pitchlane or directly in GHL as needed; the integration will update the corresponding artifacts according to your mappings. Always run a test before going live to confirm that content appears correctly in emails and that schedules fire as intended.
API credentials are typically found in your GHL account under API Settings. In Pitchlane, go to the integrations area to add a new connection and paste your GHL API key (or connect via OAuth). Store credentials securely and restrict access to authorized team members. Review permission scopes to ensure only required APIs are accessible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
