In GHL, create an API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly and the necessary write access for testing. Add the Unicorn Platform app and copy the token into the integration settings to establish a secure connection.
In Unicorn Platform, configure API credentials to securely connect to the Blogs API in GHL. Test the connection and verify read and write permissions before enabling workflows.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts for basic workflows.

Method paths: POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts.
Fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: Publish events trigger emails via the emails builder endpoints to notify subscribers of new or updated posts.
Actions: Compose emails with subject and body using templates, then send via POST emails/builder and schedule via emails/schedule.
Method path: GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST /emails/builder/data to send content, and POST emails/builder to deliver messages.
Fields: templateId, recipientList, subject, body, postSlug
Trigger: Update Unicorn Platform blog drafts whenever GHL posts change.
Actions: Update posts in Unicorn Platform when GHL posts change, pull slug, fetch authors and categories for accurate mapping.

Run tests, verify data flow, monitor logs, and enable production syncing.
The Blogs API is a set of endpoints that lets Unicorn Platform read and write blog related data in GHL. It supports posts, categories, and author data, enabling automated content workflows. By connecting through GHL, you can publish, update, and synchronize blog content without leaving your app.
No coding is required for standard integrations. Unicorn Platform provides prebuilt triggers, actions, and templates to connect to the Blogs API. Some initial configuration is needed to enter your API credentials and map fields. Advanced scenarios may benefit from lightweight scripting, but most teams can set this up with the UI.
Essential endpoints for a basic workflow include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch lookup data. Email endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data are used for notifications if desired.
Security is enforced via API tokens with scoped access. Use the provided scopes in GHL and restrict Unicorn Platform access to necessary endpoints. All traffic can be transmitted over HTTPS, and tokens should be stored securely within Unicorn Platform settings. Regular audits of permissions are recommended.
Yes. You can filter or map data by categories, authors, and slug checks. The integration supports reading lookup data from /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors, and you can apply filters in Unicorn Platform workflows to target specific content sets.
To test the connection, create a sandbox post in Unicorn Platform, trigger a publish, and confirm the post appears in GHL. Use the logs and test endpoints to verify authentication and data mapping. Fix any field mismatches before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
