Start by generating an API key for the Blogs API and granting the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly for security.
Vestaboard authentication uses a secure token or API key provided by Vestaboard. Keep tokens confidential and link the account to your GHL integration so posts and updates flow correctly.
Key endpoints you’ll leverage include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories to pull categories, GET /blogs/authors to pull authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and POST /blogs/post-update.write to trigger updates when needed. These endpoints enable posting, editing, and syncing content from the Blogs API to Vestaboard.
Trigger: when a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: format the post summary and publish to Vestaboard’s feed via the REST endpoint for posts.
Endpoint path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, url, excerpt
Trigger: post updated in Blogs API.
Actions: push updated content and refresh Vestaboard display.
Endpoint path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, lastUpdated
Trigger: category or author list changes in Blogs API.
Actions: fetch updated lists and update Vestaboard blocks accordingly.
Endpoint path: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, lastUpdated
Fast setup with ready-made endpoints lets non-developers deploy a working workflow in hours rather than days.
Automation reduces manual publishing tasks, ensuring your Vestaboard display stays fresh with your latest posts.
Scalable content delivery across platforms without building custom integrations from scratch.
Understand these elements: GHL API, endpoints, triggers, and actions, plus how payloads move from Blogs API to Vestaboard.
The RESTful interface provided by GHL to read or write data for connected apps.
A specific URL and method that performs a defined operation in the GHL API.
An event that starts a workflow, such as a new blog post published.
An operation executed in response to a trigger, like posting to Vestaboard.
Set up an automated feed that sends a blog summary to Vestaboard whenever a new post goes live in Blogs API.
When posts are updated, push changes to Vestaboard to reflect new content and edits in near real time.
Display author or category blocks on Vestaboard to help viewers understand the content source.
Create a Blogs API key with the required scope and securely store it, then link it to your Vestaboard integration in the GHL portal.
Choose the endpoints to monitor (new posts, updates, categories, authors) and map triggers to Vestaboard actions.
Run test payloads, verify formatting, and enable monitoring and alerts for failures or delays.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to your blog content, including creating, updating, and retrieving posts, categories, and authors. It lets you automate publishing workflows so Vestaboard can display your latest content. This page focuses on connecting Vestaboard to Blogs API using no-code or low-code steps, with clear triggers and actions.
No extensive coding is required if you use prebuilt triggers and actions and a connector like the GHL integration. If you customize payloads or use webhooks, a basic understanding of REST concepts helps.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories to pull categories, and GET /blogs/authors to pull authors. GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps validate slugs before publishing.
Yes. When a post is updated, you can push the changes to Vestaboard by triggering an update action. Make sure to handle versioning so displays remain consistent.
Authenticate with a secure API key or OAuth method as provided by GHL and Vestaboard. Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and use scoped tokens.
Vestaboard accepts structured payloads with titles, summaries, and links. The exact format depends on the endpoint you choose. Always validate payloads in a sandbox before going live to avoid display errors.
API credentials are issued from the Blogs API developer console and the Vestaboard developer portal. In your GHL account, securely connect and reference these keys for your workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
