Obtain GHL API credentials and ensure the scope emails/builder.readonly is granted for read access to email templates
In the connection flow generate SharpSpring credentials and authorize with the Blogs API in GHL so data can move securely
Core endpoints include GET emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId GET emails/schedule GET /blogs/posts POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new or updated email template in SharpSpring is pushed to GHL to reflect changes
Actions read templates with GET emails/builder and push updates with POST emails/builder/data and update posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Example methods: GET emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields include locationId templateId postId slug
Trigger when a blog post is published in Blogs API to sync with SharpSpring campaigns
Actions include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/categories /blogs/authors to keep taxonomy in sync
Paths like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Fields postId slug title authorId categoryId
Trigger when categories or authors change to propagate updates
Actions include GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to read data and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs
Paths include GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields categoryId authorId slug
Automate content driven campaigns without writing code
Sync content and metadata across systems in real time
Center analytics and reporting for blog driven marketing
Key elements include endpoints authentication webhooks and data mappings. Processes cover consent rate limits and error handling
A defined URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API
The process of verifying identity and granting access to API resources securely
A callback mechanism that notifies systems when an event occurs
A URL friendly version of a post title used in links
Automatically generate email templates in SharpSpring when a new blog post is published via the Blogs API
Sync categories and authors to SharpSpring lists and segments for targeted campaigns
Set up notifications when new posts are added or updated to trigger follow up actions
Collect GHL API keys and SharpSpring credentials and configure the required scope emails/builder.readonly
Map endpoints for emails blogs and taxonomy between GHL and SharpSpring
Run tests review logs and monitor error handling before going live
Authentication is done using your GHL API credentials with the required scope such as emails/builder.readonly. Once the connection is authorized you can call endpoints to read templates and manage posts. Use secure storage and rotate keys regularly.
Blogs endpoints include GET /blogs/posts POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors. Use these endpoints to create update and verify posts and taxonomy, and always handle errors gracefully.
To check slug existence call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug. The response indicates if the slug is available or already in use. If available you can proceed to create the post with that slug.
The API enforces rate limits per key. If you hit a limit, back off and retry with exponential backoff. For higher quotas contact support and optimize call patterns.
Yes you can sync categories and authors automatically by reading /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors and mapping them to SharpSpring structures. Set up periodic syncs and handle conflicts with versioning.
Handle errors by inspecting HTTP status codes and API error messages. Implement retries with backoff, logging, and alerting to quickly respond to failures. Use idempotent calls where possible.
Logs for the GHL SharpSpring connection appear in the API dashboards of both platforms. Enable webhooks to receive event notifications and monitor run histories for troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
