Run test events, verify data flows, and switch to live mode when ready.
No coding is required. The GHL connector provides a visual workflow builder that lets you map Trackdesk triggers to Blogs API actions using pre-built endpoints. You can configure fields and data mappings without writing code. If you need complex logic, you can still insert simple conditional steps, but most common automations are achievable with the no-code interface. The goal is to enable non-developers to automate content creation and publishing efficiently.
For a basic connection, essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts) and updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), along with authentication and basic email notifications (POST emails/builder). Depending on your workflow, you may also need to retrieve post slugs (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and fetch categories/authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Authenticate by linking your GHL account to Trackdesk and granting access to Blogs API with the required scope (for example, emails/builder.readonly). Use the connector’s OAuth or API keys as provided by your GHL and Trackdesk accounts. After authorization, test the connection to ensure that the correct endpoints can be invoked from Trackdesk.
Yes. You can customize email templates used by emails/builder to tailor subject lines, body content, and recipient lists. The connector supports mapping variables like post title and link, so notifications remain relevant to your audience.
Use the connector’s test mode to simulate triggers and actions. Validate that Trackdesk events correctly invoke Blogs API endpoints, confirm that posts are created or updated as expected, and verify that email notifications fire when intended. Once all tests pass, switch to live mode.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
