Secure access to the Blogs API from Switchy-io by generating an API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and including it in every request. Treat credentials as sensitive data and rotate keys regularly.
Authenticate Switchy-io with your Blogs API credentials by configuring the API key in the app settings and testing a lightweight endpoint call to confirm access before proceeding with automation.
Endpoints used to connect blogs and emails include: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API, then create or update a draft email in Switchy-io’s Emails Builder for review and sending.
Actions: map post title, excerpt, and publish date to the email template; optionally attach a post URL and image; queue for scheduled send.
POST /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, excerpt, authorId, publishDate, status
When a post is created, push a notification email to a subscriber list via the Emails Builder.
Actions: populate recipient lists, craft a brief post summary with a CTA, and include the post URL.
POST /blogs/posts
postId, slug, title, excerpt, publishDate, category
Update email segments or campaigns when a blog category changes or new categories are added.
Actions: map categories to newsletter segments; pull category lists via GET /blogs/categories; update email templates accordingly.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name, slug, associatedSegments
Build end-to-end blog-to-email automations without writing a line of code.

Create and secure API keys with the correct scope (emails/builder.readonly) and test access to a lightweight endpoint.
Select the endpoints you will use (for example, GET /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/posts) and map key fields.
Create a Switchy-io workflow that triggers emails when a new post is published or a category changes.
Switchy-io connects to the Blogs API to automate email campaigns triggered by blog activity. You’ll configure a secure API key in Switchy-io and map post data (title, excerpt, publish date) to your email templates. This enables automatic email creation and sending when new content is published. You can also review and approve drafts before sending.
Core content email endpoints include managing emails templates and data (GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data) and scheduling (GET emails/schedule, emails/schedule.readonly). For blog content, endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories help you pull in posts and category data for campaigns.
No heavy coding is required. The setup uses point-and-click mappings and visual workflows to connect blog events to email actions. Some light scripting is optional for advanced transformations, but not required for standard automation.
Test the integration by publishing a test post or creating a test category. Confirm that the corresponding email draft appears in the Emails Builder and that a sample send or schedule action executes as expected. Use sandbox data when available.
Use API keys with restricted scopes, rotate keys regularly, and store credentials securely. Use secure transports (HTTPS) and apply access controls so only approved Switchy-io apps can trigger actions.
Yes. You can customize email templates and link mappings. Map blog fields (title, excerpt, URL) to template placeholders and adjust styling to align with your branding.
API keys are configured in Switchy-io under your app settings. You can generate, rotate, and revoke keys from your GHL-related API access portal and then securely store them in Switchy-io.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
