To authorize the Blogs API in GHL, request the scope emails/builder.readonly and additional write permissions if you need to create or update templates; use the API credentials provided in your GHL developer console.
To connect UpGuard with the Blogs API, generate an API key in UpGuard, grant the necessary permissions, and securely store the credentials; use them in your integration connector.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, POST /emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, and more as needed to support automation.
Trigger: When a new blog post is published in UpGuard, fetch the corresponding email templates from emails/builder to notify subscribers.
Actions: Use GET emails/builder to retrieve templates, then POST /blogs/posts to publish or update posts, and use POST emails/builder/data to customize templates.
GET emails/builder → POST /blogs/posts → POST emails/builder/data
templateId, postId, locationId, slug
Trigger: Schedule-driven sync using emails/schedule to pull content and align with blog publishing.
Actions: GET emails/schedule to read timing; then POST /blogs/posts to create or update posts based on the schedule.
GET emails/schedule → POST /blogs/posts
scheduleId, postId, slug
Trigger: When a subscriber engages with a topic tag, pull category/author data for personalized content.
Actions: Use GET blogs/categories and GET blogs/authors to tailor content, then fetch specific posts with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists as needed.
GET blogs/categories → GET blogs/authors → GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
categoryId, authorId, slug
No-code setup reduces development time by using ready-to-use endpoints for emails and blog data without writing custom code.
Visual workflows and drag-and-drop logic let teams automate publishing and email campaigns quickly.
Faster testing and iteration with built-in logs, retries, and sandbox simulations.
This glossary explains core API concepts and how they map to the UpGuard integration workflow.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that exposes a feature or data in the API.
The process of proving identity to the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
Methods to authorize API requests; choose the appropriate scheme and scope for your integration.
A callback URL that receives real-time notifications when events occur in the service.
Automatically generate email templates when a new blog post goes live and push them to subscribers.
Sync UpGuard’s content calendar with blog publication dates to maintain a steady cadence.
Fetch author and category data to tailor content for individual subscribers.
Create an API key in UpGuard and obtain client credentials; configure the required scopes for emails and blog endpoints.
Connect endpoints like emails/builder, emails/schedule, blogs/posts, and categories to your automation workflow.
Run tests, validate data flow, monitor logs, and promote the integration to production.
The recommended scope includes emails/builder.readonly at a minimum to read templates and strings. If you need to create or update templates, add emails/builder for write access. Always ensure the scope matches the actions you perform. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Commonly used endpoints include GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST emails/builder/data to update templates, POST /blogs/posts to publish new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to edit posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors for metadata.
Yes. You can automate scheduling with emails/schedule and align blog publishing with blogs/posts endpoints. No-code automation tools provide this capability without traditional development.
You typically authenticate via a shared method (OAuth or API keys). You can use tokens that cover both systems if scopes are granted properly; separate authentication is not required if credentials are valid for both sides.
Map fields such as postId, slug, categoryId, and authorId between Blogs API and UpGuard. Use field mapping in your connector to ensure data flows to the correct destination.
Test thoroughly in a staging environment, use sample data, check response codes, and review logs. Leverage sandbox environments if available and implement retries for transient failures.
Use the integration logs and error messages in your platform, monitor rate limits, and set up alerting for failed calls or timeouts. Retry with backoff and notify your team when issues arise.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
