Use a secure GHL API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials safely, rotate keys regularly, and prefer OAuth for server-to-server connections while restricting access to the necessary endpoints.
Use strong credentials and SSL, create a dedicated database user with least privilege, and store connection strings securely in your integration layer. Ensure firewall rules allow trusted sources if applicable.
GET emails/builder; GET 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; 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: Insert or update in PostgreSQL triggers a POST /blogs/posts to create or update a blog post.
Actions: Map fields like title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId to the Blogs API payload; use PUT for updates and POST for new posts.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, publishedAt, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: End-of-day batch export from PostgreSQL to Blogs API.
Actions: Retrieve daily records and publish using POST /blogs/posts; verify slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; map metadata like category and author.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts; optional GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks
Fields: title, content, excerpt, categoryId, authorId, slug, publishedAt
Trigger: Schedule pulls to refresh analytics dashboards with fresh blog data.
Actions: Pull data via GET endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors and export to BI tools or dashboards.
Method path: GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Fields: postId, title, views, engagement
Automate blog publishing without writing code. Visual workflows and pre-built actions connect your database to the Blogs API.
Keep content synchronized across systems with drag-and-drop mappings, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Speed up time-to-publish by triggering posts automatically when records change in PostgreSQL.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data field mappings, and automation processes that connect PostgreSQL to the Blogs API via GHL.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that enable apps like PostgreSQL, Blogs API, and GHL to communicate.
Verification methods to access endpoints securely, such as API keys, OAuth, and database credentials.
A specific path in an API that performs a defined action (e.g., GET /blogs/authors).
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post in the system.
Pull headlines, summaries, and metadata from your database to create draft blog posts in Blogs API.
Map category IDs to blog categories in Blogs API and apply tags automatically.
Use publish date fields in PostgreSQL to queue posts for automatic release.
Create a GHL private app to obtain an API key with scoped access (emails/builder.readonly) and securely store it. Limit access to only the required endpoints.
Define mappings for title, content, slug, category, and author between PostgreSQL columns and Blogs API fields.
Run test requests, verify responses, and set up automated jobs with retries and alerts.
No-code integration is possible through visual workflows and pre-built actions that connect PostgreSQL to the Blogs API, allowing you to automate common publishing tasks without writing code. You can configure triggers, mappings, and endpoints using a guided setup. For more advanced scenarios, light scripting can help with error handling and retries, but code is not strictly required to get started.
Essential publishing endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. Depending on your workflow, you may also rely on GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts with metadata.
To check slug existence, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug you want to use. If the slug is taken, generate a new slug according to your naming rules and retry. This helps prevent duplicate posts and keeps URLs stable.
Supported authentication methods typically include API keys scoped to the required endpoints. Use API keys securely and rotate them regularly. For more complex setups, OAuth-based flows may be available for server-to-server connections, with access restricted to necessary endpoints.
Yes. You can schedule posts by leveraging publish date fields in PostgreSQL and orchestrating a batch or time-based trigger to call POST /blogs/posts at the desired time. This enables automated publication without manual intervention.
Data transfers should be secured via SSL/TLS, with restricted API keys and minimal required scopes. Use dedicated credentials, rotate keys, and keep privileged access limited to the endpoints needed for your workflow.
Refer to the endpoint list above and the Blogs API documentation for details on each path. You can also explore the glossary terms in this guide for a quick definitions refresher, and check the creative ideas and step-by-step sections for implementation notes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
