Set up your GHL account credentials for the Blogs API, choose the appropriate scope (for example: emails/builder.readonly), and test connectivity to ensure secure data transfer between SoTellUs and GHL.
Connect SoTellUs to your GHL account by granting permission for the Blogs API, then configure the mapping between SoTellUs fields and GHL endpoints in Zapier App Connector.
Endpoints include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: SoTellUs publishes a new blog post which creates a corresponding entry via POST /blogs/posts
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, update slug and metadata as needed, and optionally push related email campaigns via Emails Builder
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, categories
Trigger: SoTellUs edits a blog post, which updates the corresponding post in GHL
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and re-map slug and tags
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categories
Trigger: a draft requires slug validation and taxonomy lookup
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors to populate fields
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
No development required; use visual workflows to automate blog data between SoTellUs and GHL.
Keep SEO, taxonomy, and metadata consistent across platforms without custom scripts.
Speed up publishing and reduce manual data entry errors with automated data sync.
Key elements and processes: endpoints, authentication, field mapping, data flows, and error handling.
A URL-friendly string derived from the blog title used in the web address.
A defined URL path that performs a specific action in the API.
The process of proving identity to access the GHL API and SoTellUs app.
Matching blog fields between SoTellUs and GHL endpoints so data flows correctly.
Generate concise summaries from SoTellUs posts and automatically push them to subscriber emails using the Emails Builder workflows.
Schedule blog posts to publish across channels and trigger reminder emails when a new post goes live.
Automatically populate SEO title, meta description, and slug fields based on the blog content to improve search rankings.
In GHL, generate API credentials for the Blogs API and share them with SoTellUs to configure the connection.
Map SoTellUs blog fields to the corresponding GHL endpoints (title, content, slug, author, categories) to ensure accurate data transfer.
Run test requests, verify data integrity, handle any errors, and move to a live workflow.
Yes, you can connect multiple apps at once by creating separate connections for SoTellUs and the Blogs API. Use consistent field mappings and distinct API credentials for each integration. Start with a test workflow to ensure data flows correctly before turning it on in production. You can scale by adding more endpoints and automation steps as needed.
No heavy coding is required for basic setups thanks to Zapier App Connector’s no-code interface. However, some familiarity with API concepts helps. For advanced field mappings or custom error handling, a developer can tailor the integration while keeping the core no-code workflow intact.
For basic syncing, you typically use: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness; POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts; GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to populate related metadata.
Authentication tokens can expire. When that happens, re-authenticate or refresh the token to restore access. Zapier can trigger a re-auth flow from the app settings to re-establish a valid connection.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API tier. If you approach limits, implement batching, throttle requests, or stagger workflow steps to stay within allowances. Monitor API usage via the logs in Zapier and GHL.
Yes. You can customize SEO-related fields by mapping the blog content to title, meta description, and slug via the API endpoints. Use the slug existence and category/author endpoints to enrich metadata.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
