Obtain your GHL API credentials and configure them in Poptin to securely call the Blogs API for reading and writing blog data.
Grant Poptin permission to read and write blog content via the GHL Blogs API by completing the OAuth flow or supplying an API key.
Key endpoints include GET and POST for blogs posts, PUT for updates, and helper endpoints for categories and authors. For example, POST /blogs/posts creates new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId updates them, GET /blogs/categories fetches categories, and GET /blogs/authors fetches authors. In addition, the system supports slug checks with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and slug validation when creating new posts. The emails related endpoints such as GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data are available for email content workflows if needed.
Trigger: a new Poptin form submission creates a blog post in GHL via POST /blogs/posts
Actions: post data to POST /blogs/posts including title, content, slug, and category or author mapping
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, status, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: editing in Poptin updates the corresponding GHL post
Actions: apply edits via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and validate with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Required: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: new categories or authors in GHL are pulled into Poptin workflows
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields in Poptin and map IDs
GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: categoryName, authorName, authorId, categoryId
Zero custom development required as you connect using built in adapters and webhooks
Automate blog publishing and updates from Poptin submissions without scripting
Centralized content workflows in one dashboard for faster publishing
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields. The processes describe how Poptin and GHL talk to each other to create, update and manage blog content.
An API is a set of rules that lets different apps talk to each other and exchange data
An endpoint is a specific URL call you invoke to perform an action in the API such as create, read or update
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework used to grant secure access without sharing passwords
Slug is the URL friendly version of a post title used in the post URL
Capture lead data in Poptin and automatically publish a post in your blog via the Blogs API
Rotate featured posts by fetching posts and updating a featured flag via the API
Serve different post variants from Poptin to your blog and compare engagement
Obtain your GHL API credentials and set up OAuth or API keys in Poptin
Enter the endpoint URLs from the Blogs API such as POST /blogs/posts and map data fields in your forms
Run test submissions and verify posts appear on your blog before going live
No code is needed for basic posting. You can connect using built in adapters and simple field mappings. If you have no coding experience, you can still configure the integration using the Poptin interface. For complex workflows you may choose to involve a developer for advanced field mappings. The goal is to enable a smooth data flow between Poptin and the Blogs API with minimal setup.
For basic posting you typically need a post title and content plus optional fields like slug, category and author. You connect to the endpoint POST /blogs/posts and map your form fields accordingly. If you plan to update posts later, you will also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Authentication is done via OAuth 2.0 or an API key provided by GHL. In Poptin, enter these credentials in the integration settings. This grants secure access to read and write blog data without exposing credentials in requests.
Yes. You can configure a schedule or trigger based on Poptin submissions to publish or update posts automatically. The Blogs API supports creating and updating posts on demand or on a schedule.
Slug existence can be checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a new post. This helps avoid duplicate slugs and ensures clean URLs for your blog posts.
Categories are available via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors. Use these endpoints to populate dropdowns in Poptin and map the selected IDs to your posts.
If you need additional fields, you can extend the data mapping in Poptin and use extra fields supported by the Blogs API. You may also create custom endpoints if your workflow requires it.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
