Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL API credentials. The required scope for content-related actions is typically reflected by the provided access token and may include read/write permissions. For read-only operations, the scope may be restricted (example: emails/builder.readonly).
Authorize shopVOX to call the GHL Blogs API using the same API token or key issued for your Zapier App Connector integration. Ensure the token includes the necessary scopes for blog creation, updates, and metadata fetch.
Endpoints used by the integration include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch metadata and ensure accurate mapping of posts, categories, and authors.
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to push the new blog post into shopVOX and create a corresponding entry with metadata like title, slug, author, and categories.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, status, author, categories, publishDate
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the corresponding shopVOX post with new content, slug, or metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status, updatedAt
Trigger: Changes occur in Blogs categories or authors.
Actions: Pull updated categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, then map to shopVOX metadata for robust filtering and search.
GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Automate end-to-end content workflows without writing code, freeing your team to focus on strategy.
Speed up publishing, maintain consistency, and improve on-page SEO with synchronized metadata and slugs.
Centralize content governance by connecting blog data to shopVOX assets and categories.
A quick glossary of terms used in this guide, including API, endpoints, slug, and webhooks, to help you navigate the integration.
Application Programming Interface; a defined set of rules that allow software components to communicate with the Blogs API.
A specific URL within an API that performs a particular action, such as creating or updating a blog post.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the blog URL and slug field.
A callback URL that allows real-time data updates between systems when events occur.
When a draft is created in shopVOX, push a new post to the Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts for quick publication and consistency.
If a blog post’s slug or title changes, automatically update the corresponding post in shopVOX to keep data in sync.
Periodically pull updated authors and categories from Blogs and refresh shopVOX assets for improved search and filtering.
Create or locate your GHL API key with the necessary scopes (e.g., read/write for posts and categories) and connect it to shopVOX.
Map the endpoints above to corresponding actions in shopVOX (publish, update, fetch metadata).
Run tests to verify post creation, updates, and metadata synchronization; monitor logs and adjust mappings as needed.
To authenticate with the Blogs API, use the GHL API credentials issued for your account and apply the required scopes for your actions. For most blog operations, tokens with read/write permissions are used. Store your credentials securely and rotate them periodically to maintain security. If you are using the app connector, ensure the token is linked to the shopVOX integration.
Start with the core content endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/categories / GET /blogs/authors to fetch necessary metadata. This gives you the essential create, update, and metadata flow to sync blog content into shopVOX.
Yes. You can check slug existence via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs before creating posts. This helps prevent conflicts and maintains clean URLs across platforms.
No significant coding is required if you are using a no-code integration tool or the Zapier App Connector. You can map webhook events to actions (create, update) using built-in adapters and endpoints.
Map shopVOX author and category fields to the corresponding IDs or names in Blogs. Use responses from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to keep shopVOX metadata aligned with blog data.
Webhooks provide real-time updates. Configure a webhook to notify shopVOX when posts or metadata change in Blogs, enabling near-instant synchronization without manual checks.
