Use your GHL API key to securely access endpoints such as emails and blogs. Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and follow best practices for secret management.
Shippo connections require an API token flow. Generate a Shippo API token and securely exchange it for access to GHL endpoints you’ll call from Shippo, keeping tokens confidential and scoped to the integration.
Key endpoints referenced include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId.
Trigger: a new order is created in Shippo, prompting a blog post draft to be generated with order details.
Actions: create blog post draft, tag with orderId, publish when shipment is confirmed, and notify subscribers.
Method Path: POST /blogs/posts
Key Fields: postTitle, postContent, orderId, shipmentStatus, publishDate
Trigger: shipment status updates from Shippo
Actions: update the corresponding blog post with latest tracking info and display status badges.
Method Path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key Fields: postId, trackingNumber, status, lastUpdated
Trigger: daily digest of shipments scheduled for posting
Actions: compile latest shipments into a blog post and publish; optionally send a subscriber digest.
Method Path: POST /blogs/posts
Key Fields: digestDate, shipmentsSummary, postTitle
Benefit 1: Build powerful automations without writing code using our visual workflows and triggers.
Benefit 2: Keep brand consistency by reusing blog templates and Shippo data in your content.
Benefit 3: Real-time data sync reduces manual copy/paste and speeds up publishing.
A concise glossary of the elements and processes used to connect GHL Blogs API with Shippo, including terms you’ll see throughout the integration.
A published article or entry in your blog, created or updated via API calls.
A message sent to your endpoint when a defined event occurs, enabling near‑instant automation.
A URL that accepts API requests or posts data from an external system.
A secret token used to authenticate API calls between services.
Automatically suggest blog topics based on common Shippo shipments, couriers, and packaging trends to keep content fresh and relevant.
Embed real-time status widgets from Shippo into relevant blog posts to boost engagement and transparency.
Publish weekly newsletters that pull highlights from shipping data and blog content to nurture customers.
In Blogs API, create or locate your API key; in Shippo, generate a persistent token to enable secure calls between systems.
Set up the endpoints you’ll call from Shippo to Blogs API and, if needed, callbacks to Shippo for update events.
Create a small, visual workflow in your editor to trigger content updates on events or schedules, keeping posts aligned with shipments.
Automations can create, update, or publish blog posts based on shipping events, order data, or scheduled reviews. For example, you can generate a post when a new order is placed and update it as tracking progresses. This keeps readers informed and reduces manual content creation.
No-code tools within the GHL editor let you wire endpoints and triggers. Some light scripting or custom code blocks can help if you need advanced transformations, but many integrations work well with drag‑and‑drop builders.
Essential endpoints typically include blog post create/update (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and read endpoints for categories and authors. This enables content generation, organization, and proper routing.
Security is managed via API keys and tokens. Treat keys like passwords, rotate them regularly, apply least‑privilege scopes, and use secure channels (HTTPS) for all calls. Monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Yes. You can tailor templates, metadata, and dynamic fields so posts reflect current shipments, customer preferences, or marketing campaigns. Creative workflows let you customize headlines, summaries, and CTAs automatically.
Test by using sandbox data or a staging blog space. Validate triggers, confirm posts are created/updated as expected, and review status updates in Shippo. Use small data sets to avoid unintended publishing.
Logs and errors are visible in the integration dashboard and in the API response payloads. You can enable verbose logging during setup and review timestamps, endpoints hit, and error messages to pinpoint issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
