To begin, generate an API key for Blogs API in GHL and grant the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use the appropriate OAuth flow or API key method to establish a secure connection.
Approve the Shipday app’s access to your Blogs data and select the necessary scopes to enable syncing of emails and blog content.
GET emails/builder GET emails/builder.write POST emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId emails/schedule.readonly GET emails/schedule blogs/post.write POST /blogs/posts blogs/post-update.write PUT /blogs/posts/:postId blogs/check-slug.readonly GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists blogs/category.readonly GET /blogs/categories blogs/author.readonly GET /blogs/authors
Trigger a Shipday email builder draft whenever a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: create or update email templates in the builder, assign to Shipday campaigns, and queue for scheduling.
Endpoints used: GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts to surface new content into Shipday workflows.
Key fields: postId, templateId, locationId, email, status
Trigger: bulk pulls on a schedule to update Shipday with recent blog posts.
Actions: bulk create/update posts using POST /blogs/posts and update status via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Endpoints: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: postTitle, content, slug, status
Trigger: new or updated authors in Blogs API to create corresponding Shipday campaigns.
Actions: fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and map to Shipday lists; create campaigns accordingly.
Endpoints: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories
Fields: authorId, authorName, campaignId
No-code setup with visual builders for triggers and actions makes the integration accessible to non-developers.
Automated content-to-campaign flow saves time, reduces manual data entry, and improves consistency across channels.
Centralized analytics across blog posts and Shipday campaigns helps measure impact and optimize workflows.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings; processes cover authentication, authorization, and data synchronization.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules and tools that lets different software programs communicate with each other.
A specific URL on an API where you can perform a defined action or retrieve data.
OAuth is an authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access to user accounts without sharing credentials.
A URL-friendly version of a title used in blog post URLs for readability and SEO.
When a new post is published in Blogs API, automatically generate a matching Shipday email template and schedule it into a campaign.
Push Shipday timing data back to the blog calendar to align posting cadence with email campaigns.
Fetch author data from Blogs API and branch campaigns in Shipday by author to organize campaigns around authors.
Create API keys for Blogs API and grant scope emails/builder.readonly; complete OAuth as required and approve Shipday access.
Map blog fields (title, content, slug, author) to Shipday fields (campaign, template, schedule) and enable necessary endpoints.
Run test calls to confirm data sync works, monitor logs, and then deploy to production.
No heavy coding required. The setup uses a no-code/low-code approach via the app builder interfaces and endpoint mappings. Start by generating an API key for Blogs API and granting the required scope, then connect Shipday and configure triggers and actions. Next, validate the connection with test calls, verify data flows from Blogs API to Shipday, and adjust mappings as needed before going live.
For basic syncing, you’ll typically utilize endpoints related to blog posts, authors, and categories, as well as the Shipday email builder endpoints. Map essential fields like post title, slug, content, and author to Shipday template names and scheduling triggers. Monitor status codes and ensure authentication remains valid to keep the connection healthy.
Yes. Content mapping is configurable in the integration UI. You can map blog fields to corresponding Shipday fields, adjust slug handling for SEO, and tailor templates to match brand guidelines. Preview changes before activation. If needed, create multiple templates per campaign to accommodate different blog categories or authors.
Start with a sandbox/test environment and run end-to-end tests: create a test blog post, trigger a Shipday campaign, and verify delivery, open rates, and conversions. Review error logs, adjust mappings, and re-run tests until results are stable. Enable alerting so failures surface promptly for remediation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
