Authenticate your GHL integration to securely access the Blogs API endpoints, using OAuth tokens or API keys as configured in your GHL app connector.
Authorize the Urlbox app to interact with GHL and the Blogs API, ensuring image rendering and content updates occur under proper permissions.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and related data fetchers for images and schedules.
Trigger: Urlbox finishes rendering an image for a blog post, creating a new draft in Blogs API.
Actions: Create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts and attach the Urlbox image URL to the post.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, imageUrl
Trigger: Urlbox provides a final image URL and caption for an existing draft.
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update post body and add imageUrl metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Required fields: postId, imageUrl, caption
Trigger: New or updated draft requires slug validation prior to publish.
Actions: Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust as needed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Required fields: slug, title
Automate content workflows without writing a line of code, saving time and reducing manual steps.
Easily map data between Urlbox and Blogs API using prebuilt blocks for consistency.
Speed up publishing with automated image rendering, post creation, and slug checks.
This glossary covers API endpoints, authentication, slugs, payloads, and data mapping used when connecting GHL with Urlbox and the Blogs API.
A defined URL path that lets you perform an action on the service (e.g., GET /blogs/posts).
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the address (e.g., my-blog-post).
Methods used to authenticate requests to GHL and Urlbox APIs; often via OAuth tokens or API keys.
The data sent in an API request or received in a response, commonly JSON.
When Urlbox renders an image, automatically generate a new blog draft in Blogs API with a link to the image asset.
Use the slug-exists endpoint to ensure unique URLs and automatically adjust the slug if needed.
Schedule blog posts and push Urlbox-generated captions and previews to social channels for maximum reach.
Obtain API keys or OAuth tokens for both GHL and Urlbox to enable secure connections.
Connect POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and related endpoints to your Zap workflows.
Run tests in a staging environment and deploy to production with monitoring enabled.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage blog posts, categories, and authors, while Urlbox handles image rendering for rich media. Together, they enable automated blog creation with embedded visuals via GHL workflows. This integration lets you generate content and visuals in a connected, no-code environment.
No extensive coding is required. You map endpoints and authentication within your GHL app connector or Zapier app and use prebuilt blocks to pass data between Urlbox and Blogs API. Advanced users can customize mappings if needed.
Essentials include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. You may also pull authors and categories as needed for rich post metadata.
Slug duplicates are common. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check availability, then automatically modify the slug or append a unique suffix before publishing.
Yes. You can test in a staging environment or with sandbox credentials. Use test posts and sample images to verify the data flow before going live.
Security relies on OAuth tokens or API keys, restricted scopes, and least-privilege access. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor activity within GHL and Urlbox.
Review the Blogs API and Urlbox documentation, sample templates, and community examples. We also provide walkthroughs tailored to GHL integrations and no-code automation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
