Authenticate to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Keep API keys secure and rotate credentials regularly.
Portal-io uses OAuth 2.0 to obtain a token with the Blogs API scope. Store tokens securely and refresh before expiry to maintain uninterrupted automation.
GET emails/builder; 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 article is added in Portal-io, push to GHL as a new blog post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update if needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, excerpt, authorId, categoryId, publishedDate
Trigger: updates in Portal-io automatically reflect in GHL.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, slug, content, excerpt, postId
Trigger: check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, title
Automate publishing between Portal-io and the Blogs API without writing custom code.
Keep blog content in sync reliably with webhooks and endpoint checks.
Scale workflows with reusable endpoints and consistent data mappings.
Key elements and processes include authentication, endpoint calls, slug validation, webhooks, and content mapping between Portal-io and the Blogs API.
A defined URL and HTTP method used to perform actions against the GHL platform.
A URL-friendly string that uniquely identifies a blog post.
A published article on your blog, created or updated via the API.
The process of granting access to the API using tokens and scopes (OAuth 2.0).
Automatically generate a digest of the newest posts and send via Portal-io’s emails builder.
Use slug validation to ensure clean, keyword-rich URLs before publishing.
Publish content to multiple channels by mapping fields in Portal-io to the Blogs API.
Obtain OAuth tokens for the Blogs API with the required scope.
Set up POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/categories.
Create Portal-io automations that trigger on new posts to publish to GHL and keep content in sync.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the Blogs API scope. Store tokens securely and ensure your application has the emails/builder.readonly permission. This setup allows Portal-io to read and manage blog content as needed. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor for unauthorized access. The initial connection establishes a secure channel for automated publishing and updates.
Yes. Portal-io provides no-code automation tools that let you wire endpoints without writing code. Use pre-built actions and triggers to map Portal-io events to Blogs API calls (e.g., create or update posts). You still need to grant proper API scopes and configure authentication, but no custom coding is required for standard workflows.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories to pull categories. You may also reference GET /blogs/authors for author data and GET /blogs/posts to read existing posts as part of sync logic.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. If the slug exists, you can adjust it or update the existing post. This prevents duplicate content and maintains clean URLs.
To update a published post, call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the postId and the updated fields (title, content, excerpt, slug, etc.). This keeps the blog content current without creating duplicates. Validate the slug first to avoid conflicts.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch category lists and author details. These endpoints help you map Portal-io content accurately to GHL blogs, ensuring proper taxonomy and attribution.
Required permissions include the Blogs API scope (such as blogs/post.write and blogs/check-slug.readonly) and the read-only or writeable email builder scopes. Always follow the principle of least privilege and rotate credentials regularly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
