Obtain API credentials from your GHL developer portal, grant the necessary scopes for blog endpoints, and generate a token to authorize requests to the Blogs API.
Use the token from the GHL side to authenticate requests issued by re:catch when interacting with the Blogs API.
– 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: New or drafted post in re:catch ready to publish.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create; optionally call blogs/post-update.write for drafts; map fields such as title, content, slug, and categories.
Endpoint: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds, tags, publishDate.
Trigger: Post updated in re:catch
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; use blogs/post-update.write for additional changes.
Endpoint: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, status, updatedAt.
Trigger: New slug is generated
Actions: Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify uniqueness; adjust slug or title if needed.
Endpoint: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: slug.
Automate publishing from re:catch to your blog without writing code.
Keep posts synchronized with minimal maintenance using repeatable workflows.
Leverage templates and triggers to scale publishing workflows across teams.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and automation workflows; processes cover create, update, publish, and slug validation.
An interface that lets two software systems communicate and exchange data.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
A blog entry created, edited, or published within the system.
The person who writes or submits a blog post.
When a draft is saved in re:catch, automatically create a matching blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Trigger PUT /blogs/posts/:postId when re:catch content is updated to keep the blog in sync.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to avoid collisions.
Register the app in GHL, obtain client credentials, set appropriate scopes for blog endpoints, and test in a sandbox environment.
Select endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and map data fields (title, content, slug, author, categories).
Run tests in a sandbox, review logs, fix mappings as needed, then deploy to production with monitoring in place.
You authenticate by obtaining a token from the GHL developer portal and attaching it to requests to the Blogs API. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes for blog endpoints and test in a sandbox environment before going live. This keeps your workflow secure and compliant with access controls. The token is reused across requests until it expires, at which point you refresh or re-authenticate.
Essential endpoints for blog creation and updates include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories to fetch metadata. Mapping data fields such as title, content, slug, and author ensures consistent publishing. For drafting and updates, you may also leverage blogs/post-update.write to apply non-creative changes without recreating posts.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug’s uniqueness before publishing. If the slug exists, adjust the slug or title to maintain uniqueness. You can also prefer blogs/check-slug.readonly for broader slug validation when read-only checks are sufficient.
Yes. Retrieve authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map these associations when creating or updating posts. This helps maintain accurate metadata and improves SEO alignment.
You generally need read and write permissions for the relevant blog endpoints (e.g., blogs/post.* and blogs/category.*). Ensure your token or OAuth flow includes access to these endpoints and that scopes align with your intended actions.
No-code automation is possible using the GHL connectors, triggers, and actions. You can chain events from re:catch to the Blogs API without writing code by configuring workflows and test runs within the platform.
Consult the official Blogs API developer docs for examples, templates, and best practices. Look for sample workflows that demonstrate post creation, updates, slug checks, and metadata mapping in real-world scenarios.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
