Use your GHL API credentials to authorize requests to the Blogs API. The integration supports API keys or OAuth depending on your setup. Ensure the Blogs scope is enabled for your GHL app.
Create a secure connection from PostcardMania to GHL by generating an app connection token and granting the necessary scopes so blog data can be created and updated from PostcardMania campaigns.

The Blogs API provides a structured way to access and manage blog content from GHL. It supports creating updating and retrieving blog posts and related resources so you can automate blog driven marketing. This makes it easier to align blog publishing with your campaigns in PostcardMania without switching apps. You can leverage endpoints for posts categories authors and checks for slug existence to ensure clean data flow. The setup is designed to be approachable with clear authentication steps and sample payload mappings.
You do not need heavy coding to connect. The Blogs API is designed for no code and low code workflows through tools like Zapier or direct API calls with authenticated requests. Start by authenticating both sides, then map fields such as title content and publish date. From there you can trigger actions like creating posts in PostcardMania or updating existing campaigns automatically.
Typical workflows revolve around creating posts when new content is published, updating post status or metrics, and scheduling campaigns based on publish date. You will likely use endpoints for creating posts, updating posts, slug checks, and fetching authors or categories to enrich campaign data. This ensures your campaigns stay in sync with your latest blog content.
Authentication is achieved by generating API keys or using OAuth credentials for the Blogs API and establishing a secure token between PostcardMania and GHL. Ensure you grant the correct scopes for blog read write and scheduling. Test the connection with a sandbox or test post before going live.
Yes. You can connect multiple GHL apps to PostcardMania by creating separate app connections and managing per app credentials. Use distinct tokens and scope configurations for each GHL app to avoid data crossover and keep reporting clean.
Data mapping involves aligning fields from GHL blog posts to PostcardMania fields such as title slug content author and publish date. Use the slug to maintain clean URLs and use categories and authors to enrich campaigns. You can extend mappings to include custom fields as needed.
Respect API rate limits and implement retry logic for transient errors. Test thoroughly and monitor logs for failures. Follow best practices like batching updates where possible, validating data before push, and documenting mappings for maintenance.
