To authorize requests from GHL to the Blogs API, obtain an OAuth access token with the required scopes and securely store it in your GHL connection. Rotate credentials regularly and use token headers for each call.
SumoQuote uses an API key or OAuth token to verify requests from GHL. Generate credentials in your SumoQuote developer console and apply them to the connection settings.

The Blogs API in GHL provides programmatic access to blog content, categories, authors, and post management. It enables you to create, update, check slugs, and publish posts from external apps. This is essential for automating content workflows with SumoQuote without manual exports. By using the endpoints listed, you can orchestrate publishing and synchronization across platforms. Tip: start with read-only endpoints to validate data mappings before enabling write operations.
Yes. You typically need a developer account or a connected app within GHL and SumoQuote. This allows you to request API keys or OAuth tokens and manage scopes. Securely store credentials in your integration settings and rotate them periodically to maintain security.
Essentials for publishing blogs include endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. You may also need GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. Start with post creation and slug checks to ensure reliable publishing.
Yes. You can sync email templates by using the emails/builder endpoints (GET, POST) to pull, create, or update templates in GHL from SumoQuote. This allows campaigns and newsletters to share consistent content without duplicating effort. Ensure proper mapping of subject and body fields.
Required permissions typically include read access for content and templates (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) and write access for posts and templates when you plan to publish or update content from SumoQuote. Always follow the principle of least privilege and scope tokens to only what you need.
Test connections by using sandbox or staging environments if available. Use read-only endpoints first to confirm data flow, then gradually enable write endpoints. Validate data mappings, triggers, and error handling, and monitor logs for any authentication or permission issues.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan and app configuration. Refer to your developer console or API docs for current quotas. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic to handle rate limits gracefully in your automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
