Obtain a GHL API key and set up secure OAuth scopes to authorize requests to the Blogs API.
Authenticate Text Request via API key or OAuth and grant the necessary access to trigger actions against the Blogs API.
Key endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /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 new content is authored or captured in Text Request, create or update a post in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and POST /blogs/post-update.write to finalize changes.
Methods involved: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/post-update.write.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, authorId.
Trigger: Publishing a blog post schedules an email campaign via the Emails endpoints.
Actions: Use GET emails/schedule to fetch schedules, and use templates from emails/builder to craft campaigns.
Methods: GET emails/schedule; GET /emails/schedule; POST emails/builder/data to generate templates.
Key fields: locationId, templateId, scheduleId.
Trigger: A draft in Text Request triggers creation of a post in Blogs API with slug and SEO hints.
Actions: Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, then create with POST /blogs/posts, update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and fetch authors/categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Methods: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId, status.
Automate end-to-end content workflows without writing code, using visual triggers and actions.

A concise glossary of terms and how they map to the integration workflow.
Application Programming Interface that allows apps to communicate and share data.
Process for verifying identity and granting access to endpoints and resources.
A specific URL path on an API that performs an action or returns data.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the post URL.
Turn incoming emails or forms into fresh blog drafts using the Blogs API.
Use content from posts to create short summaries and social media snippets for campaigns.
Automatically generate slugs, verify availability, and publish posts with optimized metadata.
Obtain an API key, configure OAuth scopes, and test connectivity between Text Request and Blogs API.
Match Blog fields to Text Request data; map postId, title, slug, content, and author.
Run tests against each endpoint, verify data flow, and deploy to production.
No deep coding is required. The integration can be set up using visual builders and API calls without writing full programs. You’ll configure triggers, actions, and field mappings in a no-code or low-code interface. This makes a quick start possible for content automation using Text Request and the Blogs API. For more complex flows, you can insert lightweight scripts or custom logic as needed, but most common scenarios are achievable with built-in connectors.
Essential endpoints depend on your workflow. For creating posts, you’ll use POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. To ensure unique slugs, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists is helpful. Scheduling and templates rely on GET emails/schedule and POST /emails/builder/data. If you need categories or authors, use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Authenticate using a GHL API key and, if supported, OAuth scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. Use sandbox or test environments to verify permissions before going live. Always follow the principle of least privilege and monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Yes. Use a staging environment or test endpoints to simulate real flows. Many endpoints have read-only variants or allow test data. This helps prevent accidental changes to production content while you tune mappings and automation rules. After successful tests, promote to production with scheduled deployments.
Implement retry logic and exponential backoff for transient errors (like 429 Too Many Requests). Monitor quotas and set alert thresholds. Use idempotent operations where possible to avoid duplicate posts. Handle errors gracefully in your workflow to keep downstream processes stable.
Yes. You can map custom fields such as slug, author, and category to your blog posts. Ensure data normalization (e.g., slug uniqueness) and validate required fields before submission. This helps maintain clean, searchable content across platforms.
API documentation is available in the developer portal for the Blogs API and Text Request. Look up endpoint references, authentication details, and sample requests. If you need help, contact the support team or consult the integration guide within the portal.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
