No coding is required. The integration uses no code triggers and actions within GHL to connect Submittable with the Blogs API. You can set up field mappings and automation rules with a few clicks. If you need more control, you can still export data and use custom scripts, but for most teams the built in automations are sufficient.
Publishing requires endpoints for creating and updating posts. Use POST /blogs/posts to publish new posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to edit existing ones. You will also rely on GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs before publishing.
Slug conflicts are checked before a post is created or updated. If a slug exists, you can automatically generate a new slug or prompt for a review before proceeding.
Yes. Submittable can trigger updates to existing posts via the PUT endpoint when a draft is revised. Ensure you pass the postId to locate the post.
There is no hard limit, but performance and rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API quotas. Consider batching updates if you have a high volume.
API credentials are available from your GHL developer console and your Submittable account settings. Store keys securely and rotate them periodically.
If a submission is rejected, you can halt the workflow or update the post content accordingly. The integration supports re publishing once the submission is corrected.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
