Obtain your GHL API credentials and grant access to the Blogs API endpoints used in this integration. Use secure storage for keys and set the appropriate scope for read and write operations.
In SchoolMaker, create a new GHL connection using the GHL credentials. Verify the connection with a simple test call such as fetching categories or authors to ensure the link is live.
Core endpoints used include: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to validate slugs. Other supporting endpoints such as GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data may be used for content workflows and notifications.
Trigger: A new article is added in SchoolMaker.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish the article; map title, content, slug, author, and category; confirm success before publishing.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, category
Trigger: an article is updated in SchoolMaker.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post; propagate changes to title, content, slug, and metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger: new categories or authors appear in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch and store in SchoolMaker.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId, name
Fast setup with visual automation to connect SchoolMaker with the Blogs API through the GHL connector.
Automations run on demand or on a schedule, reducing manual data entry and errors.
Centralized content management across SchoolMaker and Blogs API via GHL.
A concise glossary of the main elements and processes used in the GHL Blogs API integration with SchoolMaker.
Application Programming Interface. A defined set of rules that allows two software systems to communicate.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post used to create readable URLs and to check for duplicates.
A specific path in an API that performs an action such as create, read, update, or delete.
A standard authorization framework that enables secure access without sharing passwords.
Automatically publish fresh SchoolMaker articles to the Blogs API to keep your blog synchronized without manual posting.
Monitor engagement in SchoolMaker and automatically promote top posts to the Blogs API for wider reach.
When a slug already exists, generate a unique slug automatically and retry publish to avoid conflicts.
Collect the Blogs API credentials from GHL and the SchoolMaker app credentials; store securely.
Create the connection in SchoolMaker, authorize GHL, and run a test call to fetch categories or authors.
Configure a test workflow to publish and update posts, then monitor logs and adjust field mappings as needed.
No heavy coding is required. Use the GHL connector and SchoolMaker’s built in automation to map fields and trigger actions. For advanced flows, you can add a lightweight script or use a no code tool to orchestrate calls. This keeps setup fast while enabling powerful content automation. The platform handles retries and error notifications to keep publishing smooth.
To create a post you use POST /blogs/posts. This typically requires title and content, plus optional fields like slug, author, and category. You may also pass publish metadata. After creation, confirm a successful response before signaling completion to downstream steps.
Yes. You can structure a workflow to publish on a schedule or trigger on events in SchoolMaker. While the Blogs API supports direct posting, schedule logic is usually implemented in your automation layer; you can queue publish actions or set a time-based trigger to run the POST /blogs/posts call.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth depending on your GHL setup. Always scope keys to the required read/write endpoints and store credentials securely. Use secure vaults and rotate credentials periodically to maintain security.
If a slug exists, check the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If it exists, auto-generate a unique slug and retry the publish call. This prevents conflicts and preserves unique URLs.
API keys are found in your GHL account under API credentials. In SchoolMaker, open the Connections or Integrations area to add a new GHL connection and paste the credentials. Run a test to confirm the connection and then proceed with your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
