To authorize Shape to use the Blogs API, configure your API key and grant the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). This ensures Shape can fetch templates, schedule emails, and publish blog posts on your behalf.
Shape connects to GHL with standard OAuth or API keys, depending on your setup. Make sure the app has access to the endpoints you’ll use (posts, templates, schedules).
Core endpoints used by Shape include: GET emails/builder to pull templates; POST emails/builder to create or update templates; POST /emails/builder/data to populate template data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId to remove templates; GET emails/schedule to read schedules; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs; POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts; GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories for metadata; GET /blogs/posts to list posts; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to verify slug; etc.
Trigger on POST /blogs/posts; use GET emails/builder to fetch the matching template and POST emails/builder to attach the post data.
Create or update email draft, insert post title and slug, and queue for delivery.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, POST emails/builder, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists

Trigger on a scheduled publish date for posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and corresponding email schedules (GET emails/schedule)
Schedule delivery, sync status, and update templates with live post links.

Build powerful automation without writing code. Connect data from Blogs API to Shape to automate posts, emails, and updates.
Create end-to-end workflows that publish content and notify audiences in a single flow.
Iterate quickly with live data—slugs, authors, and categories stay in sync automatically.
Key elements include endpoints (URLs you call), triggers (events that start a workflow), actions (the operations performed), and methods (HTTP verbs and paths).
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action when called (for example GET emails/builder).
An event that starts an automation, such as a new blog post being created.
An operation executed in response to a trigger, like creating an email draft or publishing a post.
A URL-safe version of a post title used in blog URLs and SEO.
Automatically generate and schedule blog posts in Sync with Shape email campaigns to keep content fresh.
Send targeted email sequences when new blogs are published or updated, based on post data.
Auto-generate slugs and meta descriptions from post titles to boost search visibility.
Provide Shape with your Blogs API key and grant the required scope to enable data flow.
Choose which endpoints Shape will use (templates, posts, schedules) to power your workflows.
Create a Shape workflow that triggers on new posts to update emails, publish posts, and notify subscribers.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for creating, updating, and retrieving blog content, authors, categories, and related assets. Integrating with Shape lets you automate email campaigns and blog publishing from a single interface, reducing manual work and improving consistency across channels.
No coding is required. Shape provides prebuilt connectors and step-by-step guides to map blocks, triggers, and actions between the Blogs API and your workflows.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs, GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories for metadata, and GET emails/builder for template usage.
Yes. Shape can coordinate publish times with email distributions so that readers see new content and receive related campaigns in a synchronized flow.
Use secure API keys or OAuth tokens from your GHL developer console. Ensure the app has the scopes needed for posts, templates, and schedules.
Use sandbox/test environments provided by both Shape and the Blogs API to verify triggers, actions, and data mapping before going live.
Endpoint references live in your GHL developer dashboard and are exposed through the Shape integration documentation for quick setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
