Use OAuth 2.0 with your GHL account to authorize requests to the Blogs API. Generate client credentials from the developer portal and securely store access tokens for subsequent calls.
SignNow utilizes OAuth 2.0 for app access. Create an app in SignNow, obtain client_id and client_secret, and grant permissions to templates and signature workflows used in this integration.

Trigger: A new blog post is published in the Blogs API
Actions: Create a SignNow document from the blog post, route for signature, and save the signed copy back to the blog metadata
POST /blogs/posts
postId, title, content, authorEmail, signNowTemplateId
Trigger: Blog post updated
Actions: Update the SignNow document using the postId and refresh signer data
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, signNowDocumentId
Trigger: New author added or updated
Actions: Compile author bio into SignNow template and generate/attach signed copies
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, signNowTemplateId
Automate signing workflows triggered by blog events without manual data entry or scripting.
Leverage drag-and-drop integration to map blog fields to SignNow templates for consistent document generation.
Consolidate blog content and signing data in a single workflow for compliance and faster approvals.
Key elements and processes used to connect the Blogs API with SignNow include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
A specific URL that lets your app interact with a service to perform a task (e.g., create a post, fetch authors).
An authorization framework that issues access tokens for API calls without sharing user credentials.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to identify a blog post in links and SEO metadata.
A predefined structure used to populate and sign documents in SignNow.
Automatically generate a SignNow-ready PDF from every new blog post, pre-fill signer fields, and route for e-signature to editors or authors.
Create a SignNow document containing the author bio that gets signed by the author and stored with the post.
Use SignNow templates to capture editor approvals automatically as part of the blog publishing workflow.
Register an OAuth client in the Blogs API console and in SignNow to obtain client_id and client_secret.
Configure endpoints for blog events and direct them to SignNow actions; set up webhooks to trigger updates.
Run end-to-end tests with sample posts and documents; monitor logs and adjust data mappings before going production.
No extensive coding is required if you use the built-in workflow features and webhooks. Basic knowledge of API concepts helps, but templates and triggers can be configured via a no-code interface. For custom scenarios, small scripts or a middleware layer can handle data mapping. If you prefer a hands-off approach, use pre-built templates and a few field map settings to get started quickly.
Most blog posts that follow your standard schema can be processed. Custom fields or non-standard content may require mapping rules. You can test with sample posts to confirm compatibility before publishing widely.
Templates live in SignNow and can be linked to blog post events. Signers are defined in the template, and the signer roles can be assigned dynamically based on post data. You can manage access and permissions from the app dashboards.
Signing limits depend on your SignNow plan. For high-volume needs, consider tiered plans and batching strategies. The integration itself does not impose a hard cap.
API credentials are available in the developer sections of both the Blogs API and SignNow dashboards. Endpoints are listed in the Endpoint List above and can be copied into your integration tooling or middleware.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
