Use your GHL account API key and the Blogs API access token to authorize requests from T2M URL Shortener. Store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically.
Authorize T2M URL Shortener to call the Blogs API using standard OAuth2 or API key methods as supported by your setup. Follow least privilege principles.
Endpoints 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: new blog post is published in Blogs API triggers a short URL creation in T2M URL Shortener.
Actions: generate short URL, store the mapping, and publish the shortened link within the blog post.
Example flow uses POST /blogs/posts to fetch the post data and then create a short URL via the shortening flow.
Required fields: postId, slug, originalUrl, shortCode
Trigger: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId when content changes
Actions: update mapping, regenerate short URL, notify readers
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, slug, shortUrl
Trigger: check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: confirm slug availability, then create short URL
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Fast setup with drag and drop flows, no custom coding required.
Centralized access to endpoints from one interface.
Automatic updates and versioned integrations reduce maintenance.
Overview of the main elements: GHL API connection, APPNAME app, endpoints, authentication, error handling, and data mapping.
GHL is the API layer that connects your app to the Blogs API, enabling data exchange and automation.
APPNAME is the URL shortening tool that creates short URLs and tracks performance within your workflow.
Slug is the URL fragment used to identify a blog post and generate the short link.
An endpoint is a specific API URL path you call to perform an action.
Create a flow that automatically generates a short URL when a new blog post is published.
Set up a cadence to renew or reuse short URLs for updated posts.
Track clicks and adjust shortenings to improve engagement.
Collect API keys and ensure scope aligns with required endpoints.
Add and map Blogs API endpoints to the T2M URL Shortener workflow.
Run test flows, monitor results, and ensure error handling.
In most cases you don’t need to write code if you use the T2M URL Shortener’s visual workflow builder. The Blogs API connection provides a set of pre built actions and triggers you can drag into your automation flow. If you do prefer code, REST calls to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists are supported for advanced setups. Always test in a staging environment before going live.
Authentication can be done via an API key or OAuth depending on what your setup supports. Keep credentials secure, assign the least privilege scope, and rotate keys regularly. Store keys in a secure vault and reference them in your automation configuration.
URL shortening typically involves creating or updating a blog post with a short URL. Use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability, and then associate or update the short URL via the shortening flow. Map the response fields to your short URL data.
Yes. You can check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is taken, adjust it and retry. If it is available, proceed with creating the post and generating the short URL.
Test the integration in a sandbox or staging environment using sample posts. Validate all paths, including slug checks, post creation, and short URL generation. Confirm that error handling and retries work as expected.
Implement robust error handling and retries for rate limits or transient failures. Log errors with context, use exponential backoff, and alert your team on sustained failures. Maintain clear mappings between API errors and user facing messages.
Monitor performance via the Blogs API and your shortening flow dashboards. Check click metrics, post engagement, and API error logs. Use built in analytics or export data to a BI tool for deeper insights.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
