Authenticate to Blogs API using your GHL API key and OAuth credentials. Ensure your token has scope for blog creation, updates, slug checks, categories, and authors.
Seamlss securely stores and uses access tokens to call GHL endpoints. Use OAuth2 or API keys, rotate secrets, and follow best practices for secret management.

Connect Seamlss triggers to publish/update actions.
Authentication for the Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 and API keys. In Seamlss, secure token storage and server-side calls ensure credentials are never exposed in client code. Ensure your API key or token has the necessary scopes for blog creation, updates, slug checks, categories, and authors, and monitor usage for any anomalies.
To publish a post, use POST /blogs/posts with title, content, slug, and category. Optionally include publishDate and authorId to schedule or attribute the post to a specific author.
Yes—update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the fields you want to change. Specify only the fields you wish to modify; the endpoint will apply the updates to the existing post.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. If the slug exists, modify the slug or generate an alternative to ensure a unique URL.
Retrieve categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors. Map Seamlss fields to the API’s category and author IDs to ensure correct associations in posts.
Most endpoints enforce rate limits. If you hit a limit, implement exponential backoff and reduce concurrent calls. Consider batching operations and spacing requests to avoid throttling.
Common mappings include title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, and publishDate. Align Seamlss fields to the corresponding Blog API fields to ensure accurate rendering and SEO.
