Authenticate requests between GHL and Blogs API using secure API keys or OAuth tokens with the scopes needed for emails, blogs, and categories.
Surefire Local Platform authenticates to GHL with a client credentials flow, keeping tokens scoped to emails, blogs, and endpoints required for syncing and publishing.
Endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET blogs/authors; GET blogs/categories; GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Publish a new blog post using POST /blogs/posts, which fires a workflow in Surefire Local Platform via GHL to trigger email notifications and post-publish actions.
On publish, create or update emails with POST emails/builder/data and schedule delivery via GET emails/schedule.
POST /blogs/posts (and optional PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates)
postId, title, slug, status, publishDate
Schedule periodic sync to pull authors and categories into Surefire Local Platform and push updates back as needed.
Use GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to fetch data, then map and update Surefire Local Platform records.
GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
authorId, categoryId, slug, title
New or updated blog posts trigger email notifications and content enrichment workflows.
Populate emails via POST /emails/builder/data and schedule delivery via GET emails/schedule; enrich content with metadata as needed.
POST /emails/builder/data and GET emails/builder
templateId, locationId, data fields
Automate blog publishing and email campaigns without writing code using the GHL connector.
Fast setup with pre-built endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors.
Centralized monitoring and reporting from both systems in one dashboard.
Key concepts, endpoints, authentication, and data flow for linking Blogs API with Surefire Local Platform through GHL.
An interface that allows systems to communicate and exchange data securely.
An event-driven notification sent from one system to another in real time.
A standard authorization framework for obtaining access tokens without sharing passwords.
A specific URL and HTTP method in an API that performs an action or returns data.
Publish new posts in Blogs API and automatically create and send email newsletters from Surefire Local Platform.
Sync authors and categories to dashboards for quick editorial decisions.
Enrich posts with metadata and automate scheduling and distribution.
Obtain API keys or OAuth client credentials for both GHL and Surefire Local Platform, ensuring required scopes are enabled.
Map Blogs API endpoints to Surefire Local Platform fields and set up trigger and action workflows in GHL.
Run tests, verify data flow, and monitor logs to ensure reliable connectivity.
GHL and Blogs API use secure token-based authentication. You can implement OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on your security policy. Tokens should be stored securely and rotated regularly.
For basic syncing, focus on endpoints like GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET emails/builder, and POST /blogs/posts to publish new content. Rate limits vary by plan; monitor the headers in responses.
Yes. You can configure cadence and fields to sync, including which endpoints to poll and which data to map. Use webhooks or scheduled pulls to control frequency.
Yes. Expect limit policies per token or per minute. Implement exponential backoff and retries in your integration to handle bursts.
Use a staging environment to test API calls, verify data flow, and confirm trigger and action sequences before going live. Check response codes and logs for issues.
API keys and credentials are typically found in both apps’ developer or integration sections. Store them securely and rotate keys on a schedule.
If data formats differ, implement mapping layers to translate fields between systems. Use normalization, type casting, and validation rules to maintain consistency.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
