No code is required to connect TradePortal to the Blogs API. Use the GHL integration UI to authorize access and map fields for creating or updating posts. The system provides to built in actions for common tasks and you can extend with additional endpoints as needed.
To publish posts you typically use POST /blogs/posts and to check slug existence you use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You may fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors.
Slug validation ensures a unique URL. Before publishing a post you can call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and if the slug exists, adjust by appending a suffix. This keeps links clean and consistent.
Yes. Email triggers can drive blog drafts. Map the email builder data to blog fields and create or update posts via POST /blogs/posts. You can also use slug checks to ensure updates publish correctly.
The declared scope emails/builder.readonly controls what you can read. If you need to modify templates use emails/builder.write. Always follow least privilege and rotate tokens.
Test endpoints in a sandbox or staging environment. Use GET and POST to simulate publishing and slug checks, and verify responses and error messages.
Check the app logs in TradePortal and your GHL account to see errors. Use webhooks and response codes to diagnose fix data mapping and re test.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
