Automate publishing and distribution without writing code.
Centralized workflows that connect data across systems with drag-and-drop simplicity.
Faster content iteration and reduced manual steps for teams.
Key elements and processes describe how GHL endpoints, PT Distinction fields, and automation rules interact to publish and manage blog content.
An API (Application Programming Interface) lets PT Distinction talk to the Blogs API to perform actions like create, update, or fetch blog data.
A URL-friendly title used to uniquely identify a blog post. Check existence before publishing to avoid duplicates.
The authorization framework used for secure access to the Blogs API. PT Distinction uses OAuth 2.0 tokens with scoped permissions.
A specific URL path in the Blogs API that performs an action, such as creating a post or retrieving data.
Set up a recurring post creation in PT Distinction that publishes to Blogs API every week, with a custom category and author mapped.
Automatically generate blog summaries and push them to email campaigns via the Emails API when a new post is published.
Synchronize authors and categories between Blogs API and PT Distinction to keep taxonomy aligned across channels.
In the GHL developer portal, create OAuth credentials with scope emails/builder.readonly and note your client ID and secret.
Open the PT Distinction integration flow and authorize the app to access your GHL account. Store tokens securely.
Define field mappings for posts, categories, and authors, then run end-to-end tests to confirm data flows correctly.
Authentication requires OAuth 2.0 with the proper scopes. Start by creating OAuth credentials in the GHL developer portal and authorize PT Distinction to access your Blogs API data. After authorization, PT Distinction will store tokens securely and use them to create, fetch, and update blog data without further manual login.
For basic post creation, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to publish a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps verify slug availability. Additionally, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate taxonomy fields for accurate post data.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug to check availability. If the slug exists, adjust the slug or implement a conflict-handling rule in your workflow.
Yes, you can schedule posts using PT Distinction workflows that publish at a future time. The workflow can leverage scheduling endpoints and related email or notification actions as needed.
Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to pull taxonomy data, then map those values into PT Distinction fields for consistent taxonomy across channels. Regular synchronization helps maintain alignment as content changes.
Validate responses, implement retries for transient errors, and log failures for debugging. Use robust field mappings and slug validation to avoid duplicates and ensure data integrity.
Yes. With no-code steps, you can set triggers, actions, and field mappings without writing code. Use the drag-and-drop interface to assemble the workflow and test it in a sandbox environment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
