Answer: You can automate publishing your blog content to SmartReach email campaigns, trigger digest emails from new posts, and keep author and category data in sync without code. This setup leverages the Blogs API endpoints and the Email Builder to assemble and send messages. You can customize templates, schedules, and recipient lists to fit your workflow.\n\nTip: Start small with a single trigger and a basic digest, then scale by adding more endpoints and richer field mappings.
Answer: No heavy coding is required. The integration uses standard API calls and a no-code automation builder in SmartReach. You configure OAuth credentials, set the scope, map fields, and define triggers and actions through the UI.\nIf you need custom logic, consider lightweight scripting or webhooks provided by GHL to handle advanced scenarios.
Answer: Essential endpoints include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /emails/builder to assemble and dispatch emails.\nOther endpoints can be added for richer workflows, but the core setup can operate with these basics.
Answer: Digest schedules can be daily or weekly. The SmartReach workflow pulls the latest posts and composes an email digest based on your templates, which is then sent via the Emails Builder.\nAdjust the cadence in your SmartReach scheduling settings to suit your audience.
Answer: Yes. You can trigger emails in response to blog activity, such as a new post or an author update, and design forms to capture reader responses that feed back into campaigns.\nLeverage webhooks to capture replies and update recipient segments automatically.
Answer: The integration uses secure tokens, TLS, and scoped access. Rotate tokens regularly and store credentials in a safe vault. Follow best practices for API key management.\nAlways monitor for unusual activity and limit permissions to the minimum scope required.
Answer: Use OAuth token rotation or token refresh flows. Reconnect the app when the token expires and verify permissions. Keep your client credentials secure and update scopes as needed.\nDocument your token lifecycle and implement automated renewal where possible.
