To authenticate, generate a GHL API key with the Blogs API scope and paste it into the connector. Use the key to authorize requests and verify permissions before going live.
Provide your Thinkific API credentials to authorize the connection. If Thinkific requires an API key or OAuth token, enter it in the setup panel and grant the requested scopes.

Centralized control reduces errors and improves SEO across Thinkific and blogs.
Key elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and mapping rules. Processes describe how data flows from Thinkific to Blogs API and back.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows software to communicate and share data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action.
A real-time push mechanism that notifies another app when an event occurs.
A URL-friendly string used in post URLs and routing.
Automatically generate blog posts in the Blogs API when a Thinkific course update is published, keeping course pages fresh and aligned.
Schedule blog posts to publish on Thinkific sites at strategic times to align with new courses or promotions.
Automatically link related blog content to Thinkific pages to boost internal linking and search rankings.
Collect your GHL API key with the Blogs API scope and your Thinkific API credentials.
Choose endpoints (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and map fields like title, content, and slug.
Test in a sandbox, verify triggers and actions, then go live and monitor for errors.
No-code setup is possible using the visual workflow builder. Drag triggers, actions, and conditions to connect Thinkific and the Blogs API without writing code. A basic understanding of endpoints helps you map fields accurately. The builder guides you step by step to connect the systems, test data, and deploy.
Start with core blog posting endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Then add mapping for title, content, excerpt, and categories to match your Thinkific content. Validate with a sample post.
Yes. When configured, triggers can automatically create or update blog posts in response to Thinkific events. You can also set scheduled sync times if needed. Monitor performance and adjust frequency as your workflow evolves.
Test in a sandbox or staging environment first. Enable verbose logging, run sample posts, and verify API responses. Check the GHL connector activity feed and endpoint responses, then refine mapping rules as needed.
The required scope depends on the endpoints you plan to use. For blog-related actions you’ll need read/write permissions for the blogs endpoints in addition to any trigger access. Use the exact scope shown in the setup panel for your integration.
Yes. You can customize field mappings in the action steps. Map blog titles to post titles, content to body, and slug to URL segments. Save templates to reuse across posts and ensure consistent SEO metadata.
Error logs and details appear in the GHL connector’s activity panel. You can also review API responses directly in the test/run area and monitor webhook events in real time to diagnose issues.
