Access to the Blogs API is secured with OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Use client credentials for server to server connections and store tokens securely.
Create a connected app in Spark Membership and obtain the client ID and secret to authorize requests to the Blogs API via GHL.
Available endpoints used in this integration: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; 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 when a new blog post draft is created in Spark Membership to create an email draft in GHL using the emails/builder endpoints.
Actions include creating and formatting email templates (emails/builder), attaching post data, and scheduling distribution with the emails/schedule endpoints.
Key methods used: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
title, excerpt, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger on post creation or update in Spark Membership to push changes via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: create or update posts, fetch authors and categories when needed.
Key methods: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
title, slug, content, authorName, categoryName, status, publishDate
Trigger to validate slug uniqueness before publish using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: check slug, fetch authors and categories for metadata, ensure post has required fields.
Methods: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
slug, title, keywords, metaDescription, authorId
Zero code setup with Zapier to automate blog workflows between Blogs API and Spark Membership.
Unified content lifecycle: drafts, posts, and scheduling flow across systems.
Scalability: reuse the same endpoints for multiple blogs and teams.
This glossary covers the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect Spark Membership with the Blogs API via GHL.
A defined interface that allows software to communicate with another system.
URLs and HTTP methods used to access data in an API.
A secure protocol for authorizing access to user data without sharing passwords.
The URL friendly identifier for a post used in URLs and SEO.
Trigger when a campaign is launched to draft a blog post in Blogs API.
Automatically generate and send email templates when a blog is published.
Use endpoints to generate slug and SEO metadata before publishing.
Obtain client ID and secret and set scope to emails/builder.readonly.
Define the data mappings for title, content, slug, author, and category to the corresponding GHL endpoints.
Run tests in Zapier, verify endpoint responses, and set up alerts.
Yes, this is a no code approach using Zapier as the bridge between Spark Membership and the Blogs API via GHL. You can connect apps, set up triggers, and choreograph actions without writing code. Start with a simple workflow to confirm data flows between Spark Membership and the Blogs API, then scale to more complex publishing rules.
The core endpoints for publishing a post include POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. You can also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique. Supplement with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata.
Slug validation can be done with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publish to avoid duplicates. Combine this check with title and meta data to ensure SEO readiness and smooth publishing.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Keep client secrets secure and refresh tokens as needed. In Zapier, create a connected account that can handle token refresh automatically.
Yes. You can schedule posts by coordinating the Blogs API endpoints with Spark Membership workflows. A schedule can trigger post go live at a defined time and can drive follow up emails or reminders in the Email Builder.
Common errors include invalid credentials, expired tokens, missing required fields, or rate limits. Re-authenticate when needed, verify data mappings, and enable logging to diagnose issues quickly.
Monitor activity through Zapier task history, GHL API logs, and Spark Membership workflow dashboards. Set up alerts for failed runs and periodically review mappings as your content strategy evolves.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
