Obtain an API key or OAuth token for the Blogs API and grant the minimum scopes required for reading posts and categories.
Set up a secure connection by creating a GHL integration for respond-io, then authorize it to access your Blogs API data.
The integration uses endpoints such as GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to manage content and deliver alerts.
Trigger: a new blog post is published.
Actions: push a notification in respond-io, create a message or update a chat channel.
GET /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, slug, publishedAt

POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: digestId, date, summary
Trigger: new author with published posts
Actions: create author updates, notify channels in respond-io
GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: authorId, name, postCount
No coding required to route blog updates to respond-io channels

Understand the terms used in this integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields
A specific URL in the GHL API that performs an action or returns data.
An event that starts a workflow or automation, such as a new blog post.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, like sending a message in respond-io.

Notify audiences when a new author posts and highlight their content.
Generate an API key or OAuth token and set the required scopes for read access to posts, categories, and authors.
Add the Blogs API endpoints to your GHL integration and map fields to respond-io channels.
Test the flow end-to-end and enable automatic posting of updates to respond-io.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for managing blog content and metadata. It connects with respond-io to push updates and alerts. Start by creating credentials and granting read access. With proper scopes, you can automatically surface new posts to respond-io channels, reducing manual checks and speeding up engagement.
Post, update, and fetch endpoints are used to publish new content and refresh existing posts. Use slug checks to avoid duplicates. Design workflows to sync post status and ensure responsive updates across teams and channels.
No coding is required for basic use. However, some light configuration is needed to map fields and set up triggers. For advanced automations, light scripting or workflow rules can enhance routing and error handling.
Security is achieved via OAuth or API keys with scoped access. Rotate tokens regularly and restrict permissions. Always use HTTPS, validate responses, and implement token refresh workflows to maintain a secure connection.
Yes. You can map different respond-io channels to different blog topics, authors, or categories. Use filters and automation rules to tailor alerts by audience and channel preferences.
Tokens expire; store securely and refresh via the provider’s endpoint. Automate token refresh in your workflow to avoid interruptions in blog alerts.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Check your plan’s quotas in the developer portal. Design calls to batch or queue requests and cache results to minimize hits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
