To begin, generate an API key in your GHL developer console with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and test the connection from Realvolve. Use the API key in your Realvolve credentials to authorize requests.
Realvolve uses secure token-based authentication to connect to the GHL Blogs API. Keep credentials safe and rotate keys regularly.
GET emails/builder; 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; blogs/post-update.write; 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: A Realvolve task reaches the ‘Ready to publish’ stage, launching a new draft in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create the post with title, content, author_id, status, and slug; schedule the publish date if needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, status, slug, scheduled_date
Trigger: Realvolve detects a change in a blog draft and syncs updates to GHL.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields; optionally call POST /blogs/post-update.write to log changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Before publishing, validate the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug; if exists, modify slug and retry.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Build complex automations without writing a line of code.
Faster go-to-market with automated content workflows.
Easily scale content operations across teams.
This glossary covers terms like API, endpoint, slug, blog post, and authorization, plus how they fit into your GHL-Realvolve workflow.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets applications communicate and exchange data.
A piece of content published on a blog, identified by a unique slug.
A URL-friendly string that uniquely identifies a blog post within the site.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation (e.g., create or update a post).
Automatically move drafted content from Realvolve into GHL’s Blogs API as posts with a publish date.
Aggregate weekly activity in Realvolve to generate a summary blog post in GHL.
Auto-fill blog post templates with Realvolve data to speed publishing and improve SEO.
Create API keys in GHL and grant the necessary scopes; securely store keys in Realvolve.
Match Realvolve fields (title, content, author) to Blogs API fields (title, content, slug, author_id).
Run test posts, verify endpoints, and enable automated publishing in workflows.
The GHL Blogs API exposes endpoints to manage blog content, including creating, updating, and retrieving posts and metadata. It enables programmatic control over blog workflows from external apps like Realvolve. Use it to automate draft creation, publishing schedules, and post updates without manual data entry.
You can connect Realvolve to the GHL Blogs API without custom code by using the app’s built-in connectors or middleware like Zapier. Authenticate with an API key and map fields between Realvolve and Blogs API endpoints to automate tasks such as publishing and updating posts.
Publishing typically requires endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing one. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique before publishing.
Authentication is done via API keys or tokens provided by GHL. Include the key in the Authorization header of each request, rotate keys regularly, and restrict scopes to the minimum necessary for your workflow.
Yes. Use a staging or sandbox environment to test all endpoints and workflows before going live. Validate create, update, and publish actions and confirm data consistency between Realvolve and GHL.
Slug conflicts are common when multiple posts could share the same slug. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check availability, and auto-adjust the slug if a conflict is found before publishing.
Official API docs and developer resources from GHL provide detailed endpoint references, authentication guidance, and examples. If you run into issues, contact support or consult the community forums for real-world use cases.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
