Access is secured via API credentials. Use the scope emails/builder.readonly for read only access and combine with write scopes when needed. Store keys securely and rotate regularly.
Teachworks must authorize access to the Blogs API by providing an API key obtained from the Blogs API developer portal, granting the required scopes, and applying the key to requests.
Endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/check-slug.readonly; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: when a new draft is created in Teachworks, automatically create a post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: map title and content from Teachworks fields to the blog post payload, set status, and push assets or tags as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields typically include title, content, author, slug, categories, and status.
Trigger: changes in Teachworks trigger updates to the corresponding blog post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: update title, body, and metadata; optionally refresh the published state.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, status.
Trigger: on-demand retrieval for reporting and dashboards.
Actions: fetch posts, categories, authors, and slug existence as needed using GET endpoints.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, exists, postId for linking.
Automate publishing workflows without writing code.
Sync blog data with Teachworks in real time to reduce manual data entry.
Scale content across channels with consistent metadata and taxonomy.
A quick glossary of elements and processes used in integrating the Blogs API with Teachworks.
A RESTful API that lets you create, read, update, and manage blog content programmatically.
A single blog entry that can be created, edited, published, and linked to authors and categories.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post in the blog URL.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform a particular action.
Create drafts when new projects start, auto-fill content fields via templates, then publish through the Blogs API.
Schedule weekly summaries using Teachworks tasks and fetch posts data to publish to your blog.
Assign authors from Teachworks, route posts through Blogs API to publish across channels.
Generate and securely store API keys in GHL and Teachworks, set compatible scopes.
Choose endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories; map Teachworks fields to post fields.
Test in a sandbox, review logs, then enable live mode.
Yes. The Blogs API uses the scope emails/builder.readonly for read access. In the GHL developer console, create an API key and attach the read only scope. If you plan to write or update content, request write access such as blogs/post.write or blogs/post-update.write. Use best practices to limit permissions and rotate keys regularly.
Yes. You can auto-create posts from Teachworks by triggering POST /blogs/posts when a new project or milestone is created. Use templates and field mappings to populate title, content, and metadata automatically.
To publish a post, use POST /blogs/posts to create the post or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing one and then publish by setting the status. Ensure the payload includes the desired status such as published.
You can check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or by using blogs/check-slug.readonly. The API will return whether the slug is already in use so you can avoid duplicates.
No heavy coding is required; you can leverage no-code automation tools and templates. Some familiarity with endpoints and payloads helps, but guided tutorials and builders can handle most setups.
Yes. Fetch authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to map to Teachworks. This lets you assign posts to the right author and category tags.
Test the integration in a sandbox environment by simulating create and update flows and reviewing API responses and logs. Once you confirm everything works, move to live mode and monitor for errors.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
