Begin by validating permissions for the Blogs API in GHL with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Generate API credentials and store securely. Test the connection with a lightweight request to confirm access.
Authorize SendSafely to access your GHL data, then select the Blogs API endpoints you want to use. Use a sandbox or test mode first to verify data flow.
GET emails/builder; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /emails/builder/data; GET /blogs/posts; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET /emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /blogs/posts
Trigger: When a SendSafely event occurs, fetch blog content using GET /blogs/posts and related endpoints, then prepare a post payload.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, POST /emails/builder/data to attach data
Recommended method paths: GET emails/builder; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
key fields: postId, slug, title, content, categoryId, authorId, locationId, templateId
Trigger: A form submission or event in SendSafely triggers a blog post draft via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: publish or schedule posts, update content via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Paths: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: postId, postTitle, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishAt
Trigger: Update category and author data in GHL when changes occur in SendSafely.
Actions: sync /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors between systems.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: categoryId, authorId
Automate publishing workflows without writing code using drag-and-drop triggers, actions, and canned templates.
Sync data in real time between SendSafely and the Blogs API to reduce manual data entry.
Maintain consistent data across platforms with built-in mapping of authors, categories, and slugs.
A quick glossary of terms used throughout this guide: API endpoints, posts, categories, authors, slugs, triggers, and actions.
A specific URL and HTTP method that lets you perform an action in the GHL API.
A piece of content published on a blog that can be created, updated, and published via the API.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title, used in the post URL.
A grouping tag for posts that helps organize content and improve navigation.
Create blog posts automatically when security events occur in SendSafely, with automatic tagging and scheduling.
Maintain parity of authors and categories between platforms to simplify governance.
Queue posts to publish at optimal times aligned with SendSafely events.
Obtain client credentials in GHL and configure them in SendSafely with the Blogs API scope.
Use a sandbox to test GET and POST calls and verify data flows.
Set up triggers and actions to automate content publishing from SendSafely events.
No code is required. Use the built-in connectors in SendSafely to map fields and trigger actions. If you need more customization, you can use standard API calls to fetch and post data.
To publish posts, you primarily use POST /blogs/posts to create new items and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure a unique slug. Additionally, you may use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content or GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata.
Authenticate using OAuth or API keys with proper scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly). Keep credentials secure, rotate them regularly, and test the connection in a sandbox before going live.
Yes. Use the publishAt field or a scheduling endpoint to delay publishing. Combine scheduling with triggers from SendSafely to automate timing for posts.
Key synced fields include postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId, and publishAt. Map these fields to ensure consistent data across SendSafely and the Blogs API.
API rate limits apply. Plan for bursts around publish events and spread requests where possible. If you hit limits, consider batching reads and using conditional calls to minimize traffic.
API credentials and scopes are found in GHL under Developers > API Credentials. In SendSafely, configure the integration in Settings > Integrations and select the Blogs API scope you need.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
