To use the Blogs API with SMSPLANET, obtain an access token with scope emails/builder.readonly and include it in requests. Use OAuth 2.0 flow or API keys provided by your GHL account to authorize calls.
No separate per-app auth is required on the SMSPLANET side beyond the delegated permissions from GHL. Configure the integration in the GHL dashboard and ensure the app has the necessary scopes.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New blog post created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts)
Action: Create or update an SMSPLANET email/template using emails/builder endpoints and schedule delivery via emails/schedule.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, excerpt, authorId
Trigger: Blog post updated in Blogs API
Action: Update the corresponding SMSPLANET template via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and reflect changes in emails/builder data.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger: Blog post deletion in Blogs API
Action: Delete or deactivate related SMSPLANET emails/templates via DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId
DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId
locationId, templateId, postId

Yes. The setup is designed to be approachable for non-developers. Start with obtaining access and mapping fields between Blogs API and SMSPLANET. Use the built-in endpoints to create or update templates without writing custom code. Begin with a test blog post to see the data flow in action. You can progressively automate more steps as you gain confidence.
Authorization is handled via OAuth tokens tied to your GHL account with the necessary scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly). You’ll authorize SMSPLANET to access Blogs API resources, after which the integration uses these tokens for requests. Ensure tokens are refreshed before they expire to maintain seamless operation.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks, and endpoints for emails/templates (GET/POST/DELETE /emails/builder). These endpoints cover creation, updating, and alignment of content between blogs and email templates.
Yes. Use sandbox or test posts and templates. Many systems allow a staging environment where you can simulate data flows, confirm triggers, and validate field mappings without touching production content. Roll out gradually once flows are verified.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and monitor logs. Common strategies include retrying transient errors (like network timeouts) and alerting on persistent failures. Use built-in error handling in the workflow to pause and resume later.
There is typically no hard limit in the integration on templates, but practical limits depend on your plan and how you manage lists. Organize templates by category and clean up unused assets to keep the system efficient.
Monitor the integration status within your GHL account dashboard and SMSPLANET templates section. Look for sync statuses, recent activity, and any error messages. Set up alerts to be notified of failures or retries.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
