Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials. Ensure the requested scope includes emails/builder.readonly and any additional permissions required by your workflow. Use supported OAuth or API key methods to secure access.
Connect Roll to your GHL account by securely storing API credentials in the Roll integration settings. Use token-based authentication where available and keep credentials confidential.

Trigger: When a new item is created in Roll, call POST /blogs/posts to publish a new blog post.
Actions: map Roll fields to a blog post payload (title, content, excerpt, author, category) and set publish status.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, author, category, slug
Trigger: when a Roll item updates a post draft, call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the blog.
Actions: refresh content, slug, and meta fields as needed.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: before creating a post, check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: if slug exists, adjust or regenerate; otherwise proceed with POST /blogs/posts.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts
slug, postId
Faster publishing: automate content creation without writing code.
Consistency: standardize post structure and metadata across teams.
Real‑time sync: keep blogs up to date as Roll actions occur.
Key terms and processes to understand this integration: endpoints, slugs, posts, categories, authors, and slug existence checks.
A defined set of endpoints that let Roll interact with Blogs data programmatically.
A piece of content published on your blog, created or updated via the API.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, ensuring uniqueness.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform an action or retrieve data.
Automatically generate a weekly summary post from Roll data and publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Assign categories and tags using endpoints like blogs/categories and blogs/authors to enrich posts.
Generate unique slugs using slug existence checks before posting to ensure SEO value.
Collect your Blogs API credentials and configure access in Roll under Integrations.
Define which Roll events map to which Blogs API endpoints, such as creating and updating posts.
Test the flow in a sandbox environment, then deploy to production with monitoring.
No coding is required for the basic connection; Roll’s interface handles mapping. For advanced custom logic, you may use Roll’s scripting options. If you need full control, you can leverage the Blogs API docs to write your own scripts.
To publish a post, you typically use POST /blogs/posts with title, content, and slug. You may also fetch category and author IDs via blogs/categories and blogs/authors as needed. For updates, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm slug availability. If it exists, generate a new slug or adjust the title. Then proceed with POST /blogs/posts. Consider adding a fallback slug strategy to ensure consistent URLs.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content and status. Roll can trigger updates automatically if configured. Maintain a change log for post updates to track modifications.
Authenticate via OAuth or API key; ensure the access token has blogs permissions. Store securely and rotate credentials periodically. Monitor token scopes to prevent over- or under-permissioning.
Best practices: maintain a consistent slug schema, use tags thoughtfully, and avoid duplicate slugs. Validate before creation and document your conventions for teams.
Endpoint documentation is available in the Blogs API docs and the Roll integration reference. Access the API portal to review available endpoints and payload formats. Use example payloads provided there for quick starts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
