To access the Blogs API from Vision6, use the required scopes (including emails/builder.readonly) and a secure token-based auth method. Store tokens securely, refresh before expiry, and monitor usage to stay within rate limits.
Vision6 authenticates with the Blogs API via API keys and secret tokens. Keep credentials in a secure vault, rotate them regularly, and implement proper error handling for authentication failures.
Key endpoints covered in this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule read, GET emails/schedule, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and blogs/check-slug.readonly. These endpoints enable reading and creating email templates, scheduling, and full blog management including posts, categories, and authors.

Key fields: postId, title, slug, summary, content, author, publishDate.
Trigger: New blog post added.
Actions: create a draft email in emails/builder, populate with post title and excerpt, and schedule send.
Method: POST /emails/builder, using post data to template fields.
Key fields: postId, emailTemplateId, subject, excerpt, link.
Trigger: Content updates across posts, categories, and authors.

Automate publishing and email campaigns without writing code, using visual workflows and API calls.
Keep blog content, email templates, and campaigns in sync across channels with real-time updates.
Scale outreach with templated workflows for posts, categories, and authors.
A concise glossary of terms used in the Vision6–Blogs API integration to help you understand data flows, authentication, endpoints, and common concepts.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how software components communicate and share data securely.
OAuth 2.0 is a standard for secure delegated access that lets Vision6 obtain access tokens without exposing user credentials.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier used to reference a post or resource in a human-readable way.
Automatically compile your latest posts into a weekly digest and send via Vision6 emails, using Blogs API to fetch posts and emails/builder to assemble messages.
Publish product updates from your blog to Vision6 email campaigns, leveraging blog data to craft timely announcements.
Publish blog content and automatically distribute summaries via email and social channels to boost reach and engagement.
Obtain your Blogs API key and ensure the scope includes emails/builder.readonly for read access. Store credentials securely and test authentication.
Define which endpoints you will use (e.g., GET blogs/posts, POST emails/builder, GET blogs/categories) and map fields like postId, title, and publishDate to Vision6 fields.
Run end-to-end tests with sample posts and emails, verify data flows, monitor logs, fix any issues, and then deploy the integration.
Authentication with the GHL Blogs API from Vision6 uses a token-based approach. Ensure you request the correct scope (including emails/builder.readonly) and securely store access tokens. If a token expires, refresh it using the standard OAuth flow and retry the request. Always log authentication attempts and monitor for unusual activity.
For syncing blogs to emails, prioritize endpoints that fetch posts (GET blogs/posts), check slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), retrieve categories (GET /blogs/categories), and manage authors (GET /blogs/authors). These enable you to build email templates around post data and maintain taxonomy alignment. Use endpoints to verify post availability before sending campaigns.
No heavy coding is required. The integration relies on API calls and data mapping, which can be configured in a visual workflow. You may need light scripting for field mapping or conditional logic, but most steps can be completed with point-and-click setup within Vision6 and the Blogs API.
Yes. You can schedule blog-related emails in Vision6 by using the emails/builder endpoint combined with the blog data you pull from Blogs API. Create templates that pull in post titles, excerpts, and links, then schedule campaigns to your subscriber lists. Monitor timing and engagement to optimize send windows.
Required fields typically include postId, title, excerpt, content, slug, publishDate, and related author or category identifiers. In email templates, you’ll map these to subject, body, and link fields. Ensure the slug is unique to prevent duplicates during pulls.
Respect API rate limits by implementing exponential backoff and retry logic. Batch requests when possible and cache data that does not change frequently. Monitor response headers for rate-limit indicators and adjust request cadence accordingly to avoid throttling.
The endpoint list and updates are documented within the integration guide and API reference. Regularly check the API docs for new endpoints or deprecations, and apply changes to your Vision6 workflows as needed. Subscribe to release notes or changelogs if available.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
