Authenticate requests to the Blogs API with secure credentials and the correct scope to read and manage posts categories and authors.
Link Provely to the Blogs API by granting access and exchanging tokens to enable automated content workflows.
Endpoints covered in this integration include emails builder endpoints for notification workflows and blogs endpoints for posts categories and authors such as GET emails/builder POST /emails/builder DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId GET emails/schedule POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors POST /blogs/posts
Trigger: A new lead or form submission in Provely initiates a blog post draft in Blogs API.
Actions: Map Provely fields to blog post fields and use POST /blogs/posts; validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: New category or author added in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull data into Provely.
GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
categoryName, authorName, authorBio
Trigger: Post title or slug changes in Provely.
Actions: check slug exists via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content

Run tests and go live with your new automation.
No extensive coding is required for common publish workflows. Provely can trigger blog post creation using a point-and-click automation builder and map fields from form submissions or leads to blog post fields. For more advanced logic you can add custom scripts if your plan allows it. Start with basic post creation and gradually expand automation as you validate results. You can also leverage webhooks to keep Provely in sync with blog activity.
Essential endpoints for basic publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create a post GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata like category and author options for your posts.
Slug conflicts are common when multiple authors publish similar titles. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before saving to verify uniqueness. If a slug exists, generate a variant (for example by appending a date or a short identifier) and re-check until unique. Keeping slug rules consistent helps SEO and user navigation.
Yes. You can pull author bios and details using GET /blogs/authors. Ensure your token has access to authors data and that your Provely mapping includes authorName and authorBio fields so posts display accurate attribution.
Sync frequency depends on your workflow and API limits. You can enable real-time syncing with webhooks for immediate updates or schedule periodic syncs (hourly or daily) based on your content cadence and hosting plan. Implement caching where possible to minimize API calls.
Permissions come from the Blogs API scopes assigned to your token. Typical needs include blogs/post.write for creating posts, blogs/post-update.write for updates, blogs/check-slug.readonly for slug checks, and blogs/author.readonly and blogs/category.readonly for reading authors and categories. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
API rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Check the official Docs in your GHL account for current quotas. To maintain performance, implement exponential backoff and caching for frequently requested data such as author and category lists.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
