The Blogs API integration with Smith AI Chat lets you create, update, and schedule blog content based on chat interactions. It leverages a set of endpoints in GHL to automate the publishing workflow without writing code. This setup streamlines content creation directly from conversations.
To publish posts you typically use POST /blogs/posts to create new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure clean, unique URLs before publishing. Some workflows may pull data from emails via GET/POST emails/builder endpoints.
Coding is not strictly required for basic flows, thanks to the no-code endpoints and triggers. A simple setup using the builder endpoints and blog endpoints is enough to automate publishing. More advanced mappings may require lightweight scripting if your needs go beyond standard actions.
Authentication is handled by generating API credentials in GHL for the Blogs API integration and authorizing Smith AI Chat to use those credentials. Store tokens securely and refresh them as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.
Yes. The scheduling endpoints (blogs/schedule.readonly and GET /blogs/schedule) let you queue posts and publish at predefined times. This supports consistent posting cadences aligned with your content calendar.
Typical required fields include title, content, slug, and publish_time for scheduled posts. Additional fields like authorId and category can help organize and attribute posts correctly.
