Requests to Blogs API require a valid API key and the scope defined for the project (Scope: emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and use OAuth where available to keep connections secure.
SubcontractorHub uses a dedicated, secure token system. Ensure the app is whitelisted in your GHL account and that tokens are stored in a secrets manager with access controls.

Create powerful automation without writing code—design workflows that connect blog publishing, email campaigns, and subscriber segmentation directly in your dashboard.
Save time by reusing endpoint mappings and templates across multiple posts and campaigns, with centralized change control.
Improve accuracy and consistency of branding by having centralized content rules and approval workflows.
This glossary covers essential elements and processes you’ll use when integrating the Blogs API with SubcontractorHub inside GHL.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in the Blogs API (for example, GET /blogs/categories).
A URL-friendly string derived from a blog post title used to build the post’s permanent address.
Permission levels granted to an app to access specific endpoints; in this context, emails/builder.readonly restricts reading email templates and schedules.
A sequence of automated steps that connects actions across Blogs API and SubcontractorHub to publish posts and send communications.
Generate a weekly digest of new posts and push it to subscribers via SubcontractorHub email templates.
Auto-create posts with SEO metadata, publish, and syndicate across channels using SubcontractorHub.
Notify specific segments when posts they care about are updated or republished.
Obtain the Blogs API key and configure OAuth scopes. Store credentials securely in a secrets manager.
Select endpoints to use (e.g., /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories) and map fields like title, content, slug, and status.
Run tests, verify webhooks and triggers, then enable automation in your SubcontractorHub workflows within GHL.
Basic setup is possible without deep coding experience. Start with the core endpoints for publishing posts and sending emails, then layer in automation rules as you become comfortable. A basic understanding of HTTP requests and JSON is enough to get started. If you’re new to APIs, consider using pre-built templates in SubcontractorHub to minimize manual configuration. For more complex flows, you can consult developer resources or work with a partner who specializes in GHL integrations to build robust automations.
Begin with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to reserve slugs, then POST /blogs/posts to create a new post. After that, enable GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. Finally, wire up emails via GET/POST emails endpoints to notify subscribers.
Yes. When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, you can automatically trigger a SubcontractorHub email campaign to promote that post. This keeps your audience engaged without manual steps. You can also configure updates to push changes to existing posts to subscribers.
API rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Monitor usage in your dashboard and implement exponential backoff for retries. If you anticipate heavy automation, contact support to adjust quotas and ensure reliable delivery.
Store API keys and tokens in a secure secrets manager. Use least-privilege access for scopes like emails/builder.readonly, rotate keys regularly, and never hard-code credentials in pages or client-side code. Enable IP allowlisting where possible.
Yes. SubcontractorHub supports customizable email templates and dynamic fields that pull from blog metadata (title, excerpt, author). You can tailor content blocks, CTAs, and branding to fit your campaigns. Templates can be shared across multiple posts.
If the connection fails, verify credentials and scopes, check endpoint availability, and review error messages in your logs. Re-authenticate if a token has expired, and ensure the correct mapping of fields. If issues persist, reach out to support with your endpoint IDs and recent activity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
