To begin, obtain an API key for the Blogs API and grant Refersion the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use OAuth if your GHL API supports it, and keep credentials secure.
In Refersion, set up the GHL connection by entering the Blogs API credentials and selecting the matching scope. Test the connection with a quick endpoint call to ensure access is granted.
Endpoints for this integration include: GET blogs/categories, GET blogs/authors, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/post-update.write, and GET blogs/check-slug.readonly. Use these to fetch categories, authors, validate slugs, create or update posts, and keep data in sync with Refersion.
Trigger: When a new blog post is published in the Blogs API, a sync is sent to Refersion to create or update related campaigns or assets.
Actions: Forward post title, slug, excerpt, author, category, and publish date to Refersion; optionally link to a campaign.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, author_id, category_id, published_at
Trigger: Updates to blog categories or authors in the Blogs API
Actions: Sync category and author metadata to Refersion (ids, names, and associations to posts).
GET /blogs/categories
category_id, category_name, author_id, author_name
Trigger: Publishing a post with slug checks
Actions: Validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; if unique, create/update post in Blogs API and reflect in Refersion.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
No-code setup lets you connect in minutes without writing custom code.
Automate blog-to-campaign workflows with drag-and-drop builders and predefined templates.
Easily scale by adding endpoints and data mappings as your needs grow.
A quick glossary of the elements you’ll encounter when wiring a GHL API to Refersion: API, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings.
A defined interface that lets applications communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
An event that starts an automation or workflow.
An operation performed in response to a trigger.
Turn every new blog post into a Refersion campaign element, tagging products and promotions automatically.
Link blog categories to Refersion segments for targeted emails and promotions.
Associate author data with Refersion campaigns to tailor content.
Obtain the Blogs API key and set the scope to emails/builder.readonly; store securely.
Enter the API details in Refersion and test the connection using a sample endpoint such as GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors.
Create workflows that push blog data into Refersion campaigns and trigger actions based on new posts, updates, or category changes.
No coding is required for most setups. The GHL API and Refersion connectors provide a no-code interface to map fields, triggers, and actions. If you need custom logic, you can extend with advanced workflows or webhooks as needed.
Key endpoints include: GET blogs/categories to fetch categories, GET blogs/authors for author data, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and POST /blogs/post-update.write to update existing posts.
Security is enforced through scoped API keys and OAuth where supported. Keep credentials confidential, rotate keys regularly, and use the ’emails/builder.readonly’ scope to limit access to the minimal data required.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment if available, and run endpoint checks (like GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors) to verify data is returned correctly before enabling live syncing.
Absolutely. Map blog fields (title, slug, author, categories) to corresponding Refersion campaign fields. Use triggers to send new or updated blog data into campaigns and track performance.
If a slug already exists, the integration should flag the conflict and either skip creating a duplicate or prompt you to update the existing post. You can also enforce slug uniqueness in your workflow.
