Run test requests to confirm post creation, slug checks, and email triggers.
Yes. To begin, ensure you have endpoints for reading and creating posts and for checking slugs, such as GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map Rex fields. Then test in a staging environment before going live.
Yes. Rex can update posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Ensure your GHL API key has write access to blog endpoints and that the key is stored securely. Test updates in a staging environment before publishing.
You can check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to verify if a slug is already in use. If the slug exists, adjust the slug or post title and retry until the slug is unique.
Yes, you need an API key to access GHL endpoints from Rex. Store it securely and use the key with the required scope. Rotate keys regularly and apply least privilege to minimize risk.
Your scope should cover the actions you perform: read and write access to blogs endpoints and builder access for emails. Confirm the exact scopes with your GHL account administrator and adjust as needed to stay within best practices.
To fetch authors and categories, call GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. Use the results to populate Rex dropdowns and mappings. Store the IDs in Rex for consistent reference when creating posts and assigning authors or categories.
API usage is subject to your GHL plan limits. Monitor calls in the developer dashboard and plan accordingly. If you hit limits, consider batching requests, caching results, or upgrading your plan to increase quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
