To connect to Blogs API, create an API key scoped to emails/builder.readonly in GHL, and securely store the token for use in API calls.
Samsara uses OAuth‑style authorization to grant secure access to blog data. Ensure you have a valid access token and a refresh flow enabled for API calls.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new or updated piece in Samsara triggers a blog publish in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate the slug; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryIds, authorId, featuredImage
Trigger: Before publishing, verify slug availability in Blogs API.
Actions: Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check; if slug exists, generate a new slug or adjust the title.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Trigger: While drafting a post, pull in author and category metadata from Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate dropdowns or defaults in Samsara.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryIds
No-code automation reduces time‑to‑publish by automating post creation from Samsara events.
Real‑time data sync between Samsara and Blogs API enables up‑to‑date content across tools without custom coding.
Centralized content workflow with field mappings and validations makes publishing predictable and scalable.
This glossary defines the core terms and processes used in this guide to help you implement the integration confidently.
A URL‑friendly string that identifies a post in the blog’s URL path.
An API request to create or update a blog post in Blogs API.
A defined path and HTTP method that allows apps to perform actions on an API.
A standard for granting access tokens to apps without sharing passwords.
Map author and category data to SEO fields to improve search rankings.
Use endpoint POST /blogs/posts to publish from Samsara drafts with checks.
Leverage PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update and track changes.
Obtain API credentials for Blogs API and grant scope emails/builder.readonly.
Align Samsara fields to Blogs API endpoints and set up field mappings.
Run test transactions, verify slug checks, and deploy automation.
No‑code options exist to connect Samsara with Blogs API using workflow tools and direct API calls. Start by configuring authentication, selecting the Blogs API endpoints you need, and mapping Samsara fields to the Blogs API data structure. This lets you publish posts generated from Samsara events without writing code. If you prefer a hands‑on approach, you can script the calls in your favorite language using the examples in the docs. Either way, you can automate the publishing flow.
Yes. Many no‑code platforms can orchestrate multiple endpoints without custom code. By setting up triggers from Samsara and actions against the Blogs API (for example, create posts, update posts, or validate slugs), you can build a robust, code‑free publishing workflow. You can also progressively add custom logic as needed.
Slug validation is performed via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is taken, you can generate a unique slug (often by appending a timestamp or sequence) and retry the publish. Maintaining consistent slug rules helps with SEO and prevents conflicts.
Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to retrieve available authors and categories. Map these IDs to Samsara post data to ensure correct attribution and category alignment in your published posts.
If a slug already exists, generate a new slug or adjust the post title to create a unique slug. You can automate this retry logic in your workflow so publishing continues smoothly without manual intervention.
There is no hard industry limit imposed by the APIs themselves, but practical limits come from rate limits and your plan. Plan your publishing cadence accordingly and implement batching if publishing large volumes.
You can host the integration wherever your stack runs—no‑code platforms, serverless functions, or your own servers. Choose a hosting option that aligns with your security, reliability, and latency needs, then configure the credentials securely.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
