To connect, configure OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication for the Blogs API. Ensure the requested scope aligns with blog read/write operations and that the app has permission to create and update posts, categories, and authors.
In Surefire CRM, link your Blogs API credentials through the Integrations panel, test the connection, and verify that subsequent calls succeed with the configured tokens.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly
Trigger: when a new blog draft is created or updated in Surefire CRM, push a post via POST /blogs/posts to Blogs API and publish.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slug; optional GET /blogs/categories to set taxonomy.
Primary method path: POST /blogs/posts (and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates)
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds, tags, publishDate
Trigger: when blogs/categories or blogs/authors update, synchronize lists in Surefire CRM
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; write to CRM dropdowns and mappings
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
categoryName, authorName, slug
Trigger: draft workflow triggers slug validation before publish
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to confirm slug availability
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly
slug, currentPostTitle
Faster publishing workflows without writing code
Automatic data synchronization for posts, categories, and authors
Consistency across platforms and reduced manual data entry
This glossary defines core terms and processes you’ll use when integrating the Blogs API with Surefire CRM.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action or returns data.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post.
A standard protocol for obtaining secure access to an API.
Taxonomy labels used to group posts for organization.
When a new lead or contact is added, automatically generate a draft blog post in Blogs API with mapped fields.
Extend the integration to publish posts to social channels or email newsletters via included endpoints.
Capture blog comments and analytics in Surefire CRM for follow-up outreach.
Obtain API credentials from Blogs API and configure OAuth or API keys in Surefire CRM.
Create field mappings for title, content, slug, category, and author; select the endpoints you’ll use most often.
Run a test post, verify slug, and enable automated workflows in Surefire CRM.
No extensive coding is required. Use the built-in connectors in Surefire CRM to link to Blogs API, configure authentication, and map fields. The platform guides you through creating a workflow that publishes posts directly from CRM drafts. If you need custom logic, consider adding simple automation steps within the CRM to tailor the flow.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate taxonomy. You can also validate slugs with GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly.
Yes. You can fetch and sync categories and authors from Blogs API into Surefire CRM, keeping dropdowns and mappings up to date. Schedule periodic syncs or trigger updates from changes in Blogs API.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to verify slug availability before publishing. Build a guard in your workflow to prevent duplicates.
Endpoint quotas depend on your API plan. In general, design workflows to batch operations where possible and cache taxonomy lookups to reduce calls.
The integration uses secure OAuth 2.0 or API keys, with access scoped to required endpoints. Store tokens securely in Surefire CRM and rotate credentials regularly.
Documentation for the Blogs API is available in your GHL developer portal and through the endpoint reference provided in this guide. Use the endpoint names and paths listed here for quick navigation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
