To authenticate with the Blogs API, generate an API key from your GHL dashboard and add it to Splash’s connection settings. Each request to the Blogs API endpoints includes your API key in the Authorization header.
In Splash, configure the connection once and store credentials securely. Splash uses your API key to authorize requests to the Blogs API endpoints and keep content in sync.
– API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder – API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write – API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder – API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data – API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly – API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule – API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write – API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts – API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write – API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly – API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly – API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories – API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly – API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
When a new draft is created in Splash, create a corresponding blog post in Blogs API.
Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post. Map title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, and status. Optional: tags and featured images.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
When a post in Splash is updated, update the corresponding post in Blogs API.
Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to apply updates. Map postId and any changed fields (title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId).
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Before publishing a post, check if a slug already exists to avoid duplicates.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability; if exists, generate a unique slug or prompt for a new one.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate content publishing without writing code by connecting Splash to the Blogs API via the Zapier App Connector.
Keep blog content in sync across Splash and the Blogs API with automated triggers and field mappings.
Speed up content workflows with templates, reusable mappings, and drag-and-drop setup.
This section defines the core elements you’ll see in the integration: endpoints (where data moves), triggers (events that start a flow), actions (what happens when a trigger fires), and the fields that map between Splash and the Blogs API.
The application programming interface exposed by GHL to access data and perform actions from external apps like Splash.
A URL-friendly string that identifies a blog post in your public URL.
A single article entry in your Blogs API catalog representing a published or draft post.
A real-time HTTP callback that notifies your apps when an event occurs, enabling instant automation.
Configure a trigger in Splash to push new drafts to the Blogs API, reducing manual posting and ensuring timely publication.
When a Splash draft or post is updated, propagate changes to the corresponding blog post via the Blogs API.
Before publishing, validate the slug exists and automatically generate a unique slug if needed, avoiding collisions.
Obtain your GHL API key and securely store it in Splash’s connection settings. Ensure the key has access to emails and blogs endpoints.
In Splash, specify the Blogs API endpoints you will use and map post fields (title, content, slug, author, category) to your content types.
Run test requests, review logs, and push the connection to live after successful validation.
The integration uses a GHL API key or OAuth setup to authorize requests to the Blogs API, included in the Authorization header of each call. Splash stores credentials securely and uses them on every call. Depending on your GHL account, you may see OAuth2 flows as well as API keys in the connector settings. In addition, ensure your access scope includes blogs and emails endpoints to perform the actions described in this guide.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a user-friendly interface to set triggers, actions, and field mappings. You can configure most flows with drag-and-drop steps and simple mapping rules. If you need more complexity, you can augment the workflow with additional Zapier steps or custom webhooks.
This setup centers on Blogs API endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/categories. You can customize which fields you map (title, content, slug, author, category) to fit your content model. Additional endpoints from the CSV are available for extended automation if needed.
To test, use the test feature in the Zapier App Connector and review the task logs. Run a sample post creation, update, and slug check to verify responses and error handling. If errors occur, re-check API keys, scopes, and endpoint permissions.
Yes. You can map custom Splash fields to corresponding Blogs API fields. If a field doesn’t exist on the target endpoint, store it as a custom field in Splash and include it in the payload as metadata.
Common issues include authentication failures, missing required fields, and slug collisions. Use the test tools to validate requests and review error messages. Ensure the API key, scopes, and endpoint permissions are correct.
Logs are available in the Zapier App Connector’s task history and in GHL API activity logs if enabled. Use these to troubleshoot retries, timeouts, and rate-limit errors.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
