GHL requires secure authentication via an API key or OAuth. Ensure your API key has access to blog endpoints and limit permissions to only what is needed.
Recras connects to GHL using credentials issued in the GHL developer portal. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
– GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – GET emails/schedule – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – POST /blogs/post-update.write – GET blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/categories – GET blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: New blog post created in Recras; Action: POST /blogs/posts to publish in GHL
Actions: map title, content, slug, author, and category; ensure the GHL post exists in the blogs endpoint
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, published_at, author_id, category_id
Trigger: Recras post updated; Action: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update in GHL
Actions: send updated title and content; refresh slug if changed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: preparing to publish; Action: validate slug existence before POST
Actions: call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or POST to check slug availability
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, title
Automate blog publishing without leaving your workflow
Keep content synchronized across platforms
Reduce manual errors and save time
This glossary covers the core terms you will see when connecting the GHL Blogs API with Recras and the common processes used to automate publishing
An interface that lets Recras talk to the GHL Blogs API to retrieve or send data
A URL friendly identifier for a blog post used to ensure unique links
A single blog entry that can be created, updated, or published in GHL via the API
A specific URL path used by the API to perform an operation such as create or update
Send new blog post notifications to your audience as soon as they are published in Recras via the GHL Blogs API
Automatically update linked newsletters via GHL whenever a Recras post is edited
Publish or update posts to social media in sync with Recras using GHL endpoints
Generate an API key with blogs scope in the GHL developer portal and securely store it
Map endpoints and scopes in Recras, then authorize the app to access your GHL blogs data
Run a test post, verify data flows, and enable automation in production
Yes you need access to the GHL developer portal to obtain API credentials. The Blogs API uses keys or OAuth depending on your setup. Ensure the API key is restricted to necessary endpoints to minimize risk. If you manage multiple accounts, create scoped keys per account to keep data segmented. Paragraph 2: Maintain separation of credentials by environment and account, and monitor API usage with alerts to catch unusual activity.
Publishing posts requires write permission to the blogs endpoints such as blogs/post.write. Ensure the correct scope is granted to the token or API key. Paragraph 2: Use role based access control to minimize exposure and rotate credentials if there is any risk. Test publish flows in a sandbox before going live.
Yes you can preview or draft posts before going live by using a draft state or by using the slug and published_at fields. In some setups you can publish to a staging area first. Paragraph 2: Always verify content and formatting in a staging environment before moving to production.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys and store credentials securely. Rotate credentials regularly and limit scopes to the minimum needed. Paragraph 2: Leverage secret vaults or environment variables for storage and implement automated rotation and alerting for compromised credentials.
Yes you can link existing Recras posts to GHL by creating corresponding posts in GHL using the same slug and title. This helps preserve mapping and avoids duplicates. Paragraph 2: You may need to perform a one time mapping to keep the link intact and ensure future updates flow correctly between Recras and GHL.
If a slug exists, the API will return an error or a slug exists response. You should adjust the slug or update the existing post instead. Paragraph 2: Implement a slug strategy and recheck before publishing. Consider reusing an existing post ID when updating instead of creating a new post.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Check the developer docs for current quotas and guidelines. Paragraph 2: If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and batch requests where possible, or request a higher quota from Support.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
