Authenticate using API keys and secure tokens to authorize Sailthru requests to the Blogs API. Use least privilege scopes and rotate credentials regularly.
Configure your Sailthru connection with a dedicated API key and secret, then bind it to the GHL integration so calls originate from Sailthru to the Blogs API.
Core endpoints include GET /emails/builder GET /blogs/posts POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId POST /emails/builder/data GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly. Optional endpoints may include POST /emails/builder and GET /emails/builder data for templates.
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API
Actions pull post data via GET /blogs/posts and push to Sailthru using templates via emails/builder to create instant digests
Methods used include GET /blogs/posts POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields postId slug title excerpt image author publishDate
Trigger on author data changes in Blogs API

Fast setup using existing endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and POST /emails/builder
Essential elements and processes for connecting the GHL Blogs API with Sailthru include authentication endpoint selection data mapping and ongoing monitoring
Application Programming Interface a defined set of rules that lets software systems communicate
A callback mechanism that sends real time data to another system when an event occurs
HTTP method used to submit data to create or update resources
A URL friendly version of a post title used in routing

Group posts by category and send targeted digests to readers
Obtain API credentials for Blogs API and configure the Sailthru connection
Map required endpoints such as posts authors categories and templates
Run tests verify data flow monitor logs and deploy
Yes this integration uses API keys and OAuth tokens for secure access. Always grant the least privilege and rotate credentials regularly. Keep credentials in a secure vault and monitor usage for anomalies.
Core endpoints needed include GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to fetch data. You will also use POST /emails/builder to craft campaigns and GET /emails/builder data to retrieve templates. Optional endpoints like GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help with slug validation.
Yes you can customize email templates in Sailthru using dynamic blocks. Map posttitle post content and author fields to template variables to personalize each email.
No heavy coding is required. Use the built in endpoints connectors in GHL and Sailthru UI to configure the integration. Some familiarity with API keys and endpoint permissions is helpful.
If syncs fail check endpoint credentials scopes and payload formats. Review logs in the GHL dashboard and Sailthru activity, test endpoints with curl, and verify field mappings and rate limits.
Common mappings include postId slug title excerpt image author publishDate in Blogs API to blog_post_id slug post_title summary image_url author_name and publish_date in Sailthru. Customize as needed.
This setup works with other apps that expose RESTful endpoints. You may need to map fields and adjust templates but the general approach remains the same.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
