Authenticate to the Blogs API using the GHL credentials assigned to this integration. Include the required API keys or OAuth tokens in your requests and ensure the correct scopes are enabled for reading and writing blog data.
Authenticate SimpleTexting to receive data from GHL by configuring a secure OAuth flow or API key in the Zapier App Connector, then test access to the Blogs endpoints.
Key endpoints you will leverage include: 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 blog post is published, then push updates to SimpleTexting campaigns.
Actions include creating or updating contacts, sending notifications, or updating message templates.
Recommended paths: GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts; POST /blogs/posts to create posts.
Key fields to map: postId, title, slug, authorId, category, publishedDate.
Trigger a daily or weekly digest of new posts for a given list.
Actions: assemble a digest and send via SimpleTexting to selected segments.
Paths: GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories for grouping.
Key fields: postId, title, snippet, publishDate, category.
Trigger when an author posts new content or updates author details.
Actions: segment by author, enroll in author-based campaigns, or notify teams.
Paths: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/posts?authorId=.
Key fields: authorId, name, postCount, bio.
No-code automation lets you trigger campaigns from blog activity without writing code.
Automations sync blog data into SimpleTexting contact lists, segments, and messages.
Centralized control keeps content, audiences, and campaigns in one place.
This glossary covers terms used in the GHL Blogs API integration and the SimpleTexting workflow.
An Application Programming Interface that exposes endpoints for apps to communicate and exchange data.
A callback endpoint that notifies your app when events occur in another service.
A URL-friendly string that identifies a blog post in links and routes.
The permissions granted to an integration to read or write data.
Send a real-time text alert when a new post goes live to subscribers.
Publish a weekly digest of new posts by category via SimpleTexting.
Feature authors and their latest posts to grow engagement.
Obtain GHL Blogs API credentials and set up SimpleTexting API access.
In Zapier, select the Blogs API as the trigger and SimpleTexting as the action, then connect accounts.
Map post fields to SimpleTexting fields and run end-to-end tests to verify delivery.
GHL (GHL) provides a centralized integration layer that lets apps talk to each other using endpoints. In this guide, you connect the Blogs API to SimpleTexting through the GHL App Connector so you can automate messaging based on blog activity. This setup keeps data synchronized and campaigns timely.
A basic connection typically uses endpoints for listing, creating, and updating blog posts, plus endpoints to check slug existence and fetch author/category information. Start with GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides trigger and action blocks that you can configure with point-and-click mapping. For advanced cases, small scripts can be added, but most users can complete setup without writing code.
You can sync post details (title, slug, summary, publishDate), author information, category data, and read status. This enables targeted campaigns, alerts, and digests in SimpleTexting based on blog activity.
Use the built-in test feature in Zapier or the GHL connector to simulate a trigger and verify that messages are generated and delivered correctly. Review error logs and adjust field mappings as needed.
API keys, client IDs, and OAuth tokens for the GHL Blogs API are typically found in your developer console or integration settings. Store these securely and reference them in your Zapier App Connector configuration.
Yes. You can customize triggers, field mappings, and audience segments to align with campaign goals. Use filters, categories, and author fields to tailor automated messages.
