To authorize the connection, create an API key or OAuth token from your Blogs API account and securely store it in GHL’s connection settings.
Popupsmart relies on its access tokens to authorize requests to GHL. Grant the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and rotate credentials regularly for best security.
Endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a new blog post is published in Blogs API
Action: push the post to Popupsmart campaigns or segments for immediate distribution
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, urlSlug, author
Trigger: blog post updated in Blogs API
Action: sync updated content to Popupsmart, refresh summaries and tags
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content
Trigger: new author or category data updates in Blogs API
Action: update Popupsmart segments, and apply appropriate tags
Method path: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: authorId, categoryId, name
No-code automation lets you connect data between systems quickly without developers
Consistent messaging across blogs and campaigns with mapped fields
Scalable workflows that you can adjust visually as needs evolve
This section defines elements like endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields, and describes how data flows from Blogs API to Popupsmart via GHL.
A published article with a title, body, slug, and metadata such as author and publish date.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
A credential used to authenticate requests to an API, often provided in headers.
A callback URL that receives real-time data from an API as events occur.
Automatically generate Popupsmart newsletters when a new blog post is published.
Push blog post alerts to SMS or push channels through Popupsmart.
Send weekly digests to subscribers using Popupsmart templates.
In your Blogs API account, create an API key and paste it into GHL’s connection settings.
Choose the endpoints you need (blogs and emails) and map fields to Popupsmart lists.
Run tests, verify data sync, and go live with automated campaigns.
A developer account is not strictly required for basic connects; many plans support API access. If you do have a team, ensure you have the required permissions to create API keys. For more complex automations, a developer can help with advanced mappings and error handling.
For basic syncing, you typically need endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. If you only plan to send post data to Popupsmart, include blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write.
Rate limits vary by plan; monitor response headers for remaining quota and reset times. Implement exponential backoff and retry only on idempotent calls to avoid duplicate actions.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test mode if available, or create test lists and sample data to verify mappings and triggers without impacting live campaigns.
Yes. Map fields such as title, body, author, and slug from Blogs API to corresponding Popupsmart fields. Use the GHL connection’s field mapping feature to ensure data lands in the right places. Validate by running a test post and checking results in Popupsmart dashboards.
Most providers support API keys or OAuth tokens. The exact method depends on the API; you should store credentials securely and set the Authorization header in requests. Rotate credentials regularly and follow best practices.
API keys are typically found in your Blogs API account under API access or developer settings. If you need a token with specific scopes, generate a new key and assign the appropriate permissions for the integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
