Authenticate to the Blogs API using your credentials. The connection should use the scope: emails/builder.readonly to limit access and protect data.
In Samdock, create an API key for the Blogs API integration and exchange tokens with GHL to authorize calls like creating and updating posts. Use the scope: emails/builder.readonly as a sample limit.
Key endpoints for publishing and updating blog posts include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts.
Trigger: when a new draft is created in Samdock, send a request to POST /blogs/posts to publish.
Actions: map title, content, slug, categories; verify the slug doesn’t exist before publishing; attach author.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, categories, publish_date
Trigger: when Samdock post metadata changes, call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to reflect updates.
Actions: sync content edits, update categories and tags as needed, preserve slug.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categories
Trigger: before POST, check slug availability using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.

API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how software components communicate and share data.
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a post, used in the post URL.
An endpoint is a specific URL path in an API used to perform a task.
Authentication verifies identity to grant API access, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
When a new client is added in Samdock, automatically generate a draft blog post in the Blogs API.
Automatically update the corresponding blog post to reflect client milestones or news.
Queue blog posts from Samdock into a scheduled publication cadence via the Blogs API.
Generate an API key on Samdock and authorize it for the Blogs API integration.
Run a test publish/update to verify the flow and fix any mapping issues.
Activate the integration and monitor for errors using built-in alerts.
The Blogs API in GHL lets you manage blog posts, categories, and authors programmatically. It enables automated workflows for creating, updating, and publishing content. This is ideal for teams that publish frequently and want to synchronize data with their CRM. It supports scalable, no-code automations through connectors like Zapier.
Yes, you typically need a Zapier account to connect Samdock to the Blogs API via the Zapier App Connector. Zapier provides the bridge that authenticates and triggers actions between Samdock and GHL. You may configure single- or multi-step zaps to fit your publishing workflow.
Authentication is established by exchanging API keys or OAuth tokens between Samdock and GHL. Ensure tokens are scoped to the required permissions and stored securely. Regularly rotate credentials and monitor for unusual activity.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug uniqueness. Additional endpoints for authors and categories support richer content.
Absolutely. You can check for an existing slug using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a new post. If the slug exists, you can generate a new slug or prompt for a revision to avoid conflicts.
For more resources, consult the Samdock–Blogs API integration guides, Zapier app connector docs, and endpoint reference sheets. Support channels are available if you need a tailored setup.
