To begin, authorize access to the Blogs API from your GHL account and grant the required scope for reading and updating posts, authors, and categories.
Allow Textline to call the Blogs API endpoints you enable, so you can retrieve posts, check slugs, and publish content through Textline workflows.
Endpoints cover emails (builder and schedule) and blog activities: GET emails/builder, GET 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 post is created in Textline, send the content to Blogs API to publish.
Actions: Create post (title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId), set status, and publish to the blog.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Actions: Retrieve posts, assemble excerpts, attach URLs, and populate email content.
GET /blogs/posts
Fields: id, title, excerpt, date, slug, authorId
Trigger: Post updates in GHL auto-sync to Textline content blocks.
Actions: Update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; refresh title, slug, status as needed.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, title, slug, content, status, updatedAt

Run tests, verify data integrity, and deploy to automation sequences in Textline.
No code is required to connect Textline with the Blogs API. Use the no-code connectors and UI guided setup to authorize GHL and enable the necessary endpoints. This makes it easy to automate blog-related emails and post creation without writing custom code. If you prefer developers, you can also use direct API calls to tailor your workflows.
For a solid starting point, enable blog post retrieval (GET /blogs/posts) and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to ensure unique URLs. Add creation (POST /blogs/posts) and updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) to support full lifecycle management. Also consider author (GET /blogs/authors) and category (GET /blogs/categories) endpoints to enrich posts with metadata.
Slug conflicts occur when two posts share the same slug. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating posts. If a conflict exists, modify the slug (e.g., append a date or author initials) and recheck until you have a unique URL. This keeps your blog URLs clean and SEO-friendly.
Yes. You can update posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to change title, content, slug, or status. Always verify the postId, confirm slug uniqueness after updates, and re-publish if needed to reflect changes in downstream Textline emails or newsletters.
Authentication typically uses OAuth tokens with scoped permissions. Tokens may expire and require refresh or re-authorization. Store tokens securely and implement a refresh flow so your automations remain uninterrupted. Monitor token lifetimes and handle re-authentication gracefully in your workflows.
Test your connection by running sample requests from the Textline integration panel. Verify that posts are retrieved, slugs are checked, and new posts can be created. Use sandbox or test data where available to validate triggers, mappings, and error handling before deploying to production.
API rate limits vary by endpoint. Check the provider’s documentation within the integration settings and implement retries with backoff. If you exceed limits, throttle requests or stagger automation tasks to maintain stable operations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
