To authorize, generate an API key with scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post-write, then connect the key in GHL to enable flows and ensure read and write permissions for blog content.
In Productboard, create an API token for the GHL connection and grant it the necessary permissions to read blog endpoints and write items, ensuring fields like title, slug, and status can be synced.
Used endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new blog draft is created or updated in Blogs API
Actions: create or update a Productboard item with title, slug, status, and attach the blog content
Method/Path: GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts to pull drafts and publish
Key fields: postId, title, slug, status, category, author
Trigger: category changes in Blogs API
Actions: map categories to Productboard tags and update related items
Path: GET /blogs/categories and reference GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists when needed
Fields: categoryId, name
Trigger: author updates in Blogs API
Actions: map author details to Productboard owner fields and assign to items
Path: GET /blogs/authors
Fields: authorId, name, profileUrl
No code automation lets you keep blog content and product planning in sync without writing any custom code
Centralized content workflow enables drafting, approving, and publishing with product context in one place
Faster go to market through automated status updates and cross system visibility
This section defines core elements such as endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings used when connecting Blogs API to Productboard
An API is a set of endpoints that lets applications read or modify data across services
OAuth is an authorization standard that lets apps access data without sharing passwords
A slug is a URL friendly version of a title used in links and identifiers
A webhook is a real time notification sent from one app to another when a defined event occurs
Automatically create backlog items in Productboard from new blog drafts in Blogs API, with assigned owners and priorities
Push approved posts from Productboard to Blogs API for publishing across channels
Set up automated alerts when content ages or milestones are missed
Create or copy your Blogs API key and ensure scopes include emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post-write
Select endpoints such as GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to support mapping
Create mappings for title, slug, author, category, and status; run a test flow and verify data sync
No code is required to get started. The Blogs API connector for Productboard provides prebuilt actions and triggers that let you automate content syncing and status updates. You can configure mappings between Blog posts and Productboard items without writing any code. For testing, use a sandbox or dev environment to simulate creating drafts and publishing posts and verify data flows correctly between systems. If you need deeper customization, you can extend the workflow with additional steps, but the no code path covers most common use cases for content planning and publishing.
Commonly used endpoints include GET emails/builder to fetch templates, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map metadata, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and POST /blogs/posts to publish. You may also leverage PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts and GET /blogs/posts to pull current post data for synchronization. These endpoints support building a reliable content to product workflow, ensuring that titles, slugs, categories, and authors stay in sync across platforms.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth tokens with scoped permissions. Create a token in Blogs API with the required scopes and securely store it in the GHL Connector. The connector will attach this token to requests for both read and write operations, ensuring secure access to endpoints like blogs and emails resources. Regularly rotate credentials and restrict scopes to only what is necessary for the integration to minimize risk.
Yes. You can map core blog fields such as title, slug, category, author, and status to corresponding Productboard fields like name, slug, tags, owner, and workflow stage. The mapping ensures data consistency and enables automated updates when either system changes content.
Yes. Triggers can be configured in no code fashion to fire when new posts are drafted, categories are updated, or authors are modified. These events can automatically start downstream actions in Productboard such as creating items or updating fields. You can customize thresholds and filters to control when triggers run to fit your workflow.
Use the built in test flow in the connector to simulate API calls and verify that data maps correctly between Blogs API and Productboard. Check logs for errors, confirm field mappings, and ensure end-to-end data transfer works as expected. Testing in a sandbox environment helps prevent accidental changes to live data.
If an endpoint changes, update the connector configuration to reflect the new path or parameter structure. Most changes can be addressed by adjusting mappings and endpoint references without rebuilding the entire flow. Keep API version notes handy and test after any modification.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
