No coding is required. Use the GHL Apps Connector to enable the Blogs API connection and map fields to Slickstream. The interface guides you through authentication, triggers, and field mappings. You can test the flow in a sandbox environment before going live. If you run into issues, consult the endpoint reference and mapping docs for precise field names and expected formats.
Slickstream will receive post content, author and category metadata, SEO-friendly slugs, and publish status from the Blogs API. You can tailor which fields are synced and how often the data is updated.
A basic sync typically uses GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check uniqueness, POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can map essential fields like title, content, slug, and publish_date.
Updates propagate automatically when the source post changes in GHL. Slickstream can pull updates via the PUT endpoint and reindex content to reflect changes on the storefront or site.
Yes. Field mappings let you align custom fields from Blogs API to Slickstream. Use the mapping UI to specify source fields and destination fields.
Requests follow standard API quotas for the Blogs API and Slickstream. If you hit limits, stagger requests or use batch updates where supported.
Use the GHL Apps Connector test tool, run a dry run with sample data, and verify in Slickstream that posts appear with correct metadata and imagery.
