Obtain an API key from your GHL dashboard with the required scopes (for example emails/builder.readonly and write when posting). Enter the key in Twist to authorize requests to the Blogs API endpoints.
Twist uses the configured GHL API key to sign requests. Keep the key secret, rotate regularly, and test connectivity by pinging an endpoint such as GET /blogs/authors.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new draft is created in Twist and content is sent to GHL via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a unique slug.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
title, content, slug, author, category
Trigger: a post is updated in Twist.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; optionally verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: while composing a blog in Twist, fetch latest authors and categories from GHL.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId
Build complex workflows without writing code.
Centralize content publishing, scheduling, and distribution in one place.
Keep content synchronized with live data from GHL for posts, authors, and categories.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Twist and the GHL Blogs API.
An application programming interface that lets Twist communicate with the GHL Blogs API.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in the API.
A listener that triggers actions when defined events occur.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post.
Automatically push finalized drafts from Twist to your GHL-powered blogs using POST /blogs/posts.
Pull author details from /blogs/authors to enrich posts.
Use categories from /blogs/categories to drive templates for posts.
Collect the GHL API key with necessary scopes (for example emails/builder.readonly) and prepare for integration.
Enter the API key into Twist and run a test, starting with GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/categories.
Map fields like title, content, slug, and author; set up triggers (new drafts, edits) and actions (POST/PUT) for the endpoints shown.
You’ll need a GHL API key with the appropriate scopes (read and write) to access Blogs API endpoints from Twist. Generate the key in your GHL dashboard and assign scopes like emails/builder.readonly for reading and blogs/post.write for posting. Keep the key secure and rotate regularly.
Publishing posts requires POST /blogs/posts and supporting endpoints for slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and field mapping (title, content, slug, author). After your mapping is set, run a test publish to ensure the post appears correctly in your blog.
Yes. Use a staging environment or Twist’s test mode to validate the connection. Start by testing read endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to confirm access, then try a safe POST to /blogs/posts in a sandbox.
Scheduling can be achieved by triggering a publish action at a set time within Twist workflows. Use the available timing controls to schedule POST /blogs/posts, ensuring your timezone is correctly configured.
Webhooks can trigger actions when events occur in GHL or Twist. Configure Twist to listen for GHL events and push updates to blogs or authors as needed, enabling near real-time synchronization.
Required scopes include read access (emails/builder.readonly) and write access (blogs/post.write or emails/builder.write) for posting, plus read access to authors and categories (blogs/authors, blogs/categories). Rotate keys regularly and follow best security practices.
If you encounter connection errors, double-check the API key and its scopes, ensure you are using the correct base URL, and verify endpoint paths. Test with read endpoints first, then attempt posting. Check for network restrictions or IP allowlists and retry after updating credentials.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
