Authenticate the Blogs API connection via OAuth 2.0. The current requested scope is emails/builder.readonly, which covers reading blog-related data. If you need to create or update posts, you’ll need the corresponding write scopes and secure token storage.
UpKeep authenticates to GHL using a secure OAuth flow. Store access tokens securely, refresh them on expiry, and ensure the app has permission to trigger the Blogs API endpoints used below.
Key endpoints used with this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. This page focuses on blog-related operations and assumes read-only access to some resources unless write scopes are granted.
Trigger: When a new UpKeep item is created, call POST /blogs/posts to create a draft blog post.
Actions: map UpKeep fields (title, description) to blog post fields (title, content); set slug; optionally assign category and author.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, category_id, slug
Trigger: Updated UpKeep item triggers PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to refresh content.
Actions: sync updated fields to corresponding blog post fields to keep content in sync.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: before creating a post, verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
Actions: if slug exists, adjust the slug automatically; otherwise proceed to create.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate blog publishing without writing any code by connecting UpKeep to Blogs API.
Maintain a single workflow between your UpKeep tasks and blog content for consistency.
Quickly test, preview, and publish content using the API endpoints without development work.
Understand the core terms and processes used in the Blogs API and UpKeep integration.
A URL path that performs a defined operation when invoked with an HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Content created and published on a blog via the API.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the post URL.
The person credited as the author of a blog post.
Automatically generate drafts in your blog whenever a new UpKeep task is created, then publish on a schedule.
Push edited blog content back to UpKeep to keep descriptions aligned.
Aggregate UpKeep items into a weekly blog roundup using the Blogs API.
Start by authenticating UpKeep to authorize access to the Blogs API; select the required scopes and confirm.
Set up triggers for new/updated UpKeep items and map fields to blog post properties.
Run end-to-end tests, review results in logs, and fine-tune mappings.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets you create, update, and fetch blog content programmatically. When paired with UpKeep, you can automate publishing workflows by triggering blog posts from UpKeep items. This setup typically uses OAuth 2.0 authentication and depends on the scope granted (reading data with emails/builder.readonly, and additional write scopes if you plan to create or modify posts).
To create and update blog posts, you’ll need write access to the Blogs API endpoints (such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). The current scope shown is emails/builder.readonly for reading blog-related data; requesting write scopes will be part of the setup process and should be done with proper security and approval.
No heavy coding is required. This integration uses Zapier/App Connector style workflows and standard REST endpoints. You configure triggers and actions, map fields from UpKeep to blog posts, and let the API handle publishing.
Slug collisions are avoided by validating the slug before creation using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug already exists, you can automatically generate a unique slug or append a timestamp. This keeps posts from overwriting existing content.
Yes. You can retrieve and display blog categories and authors via endpoints such as GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. This helps you assign the correct metadata when creating posts from UpKeep.
Testing involves running end-to-end flows in a sandbox or staging environment, observing API responses, and validating that UpKeep data maps correctly to blog post fields. Use test posts, verify slugs, and review logs for any mapping errors.
Monitoring is typically done through your integration platform logs and API response dashboards. Look for success events, retries, and any errors returned by endpoints like /blogs/posts or /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
