Begin by obtaining your API key and ensuring you have the correct scopes (emails/builder.readonly and blogs access). This authentication step secures data exchange between GHL and Visitor Queue.
Grant Visitor Queue the permissions needed to read blog posts, create queue items, and manage endpoints as allowed by your API plan.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; and related reads/writes across emails and blogs endpoints.
Trigger: when a new blog post is published in Blogs API, create a corresponding item in Visitor Queue.
Actions: enqueue the post, tag by category, and update status as published.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, title, slug, author, publishedDate, excerpt.
Trigger: when a blog post is updated, refresh related queue items and email content.
Actions: update post metadata in queue, attach post URL, generate snippets for campaigns.
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, lastModified, slug, title.
Trigger: new blog post summary created in Blogs API is pushed to the email queue.
Actions: generate a summary, attach it to email campaigns, and track opens.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, summary, emailList, postURL.
Automate content workflows without writing a line of code.
Achieve real-time syncing of blog data and queue items across platforms.
Gain centralized control with clear analytics of publishing pipelines.
This section defines core concepts, data flows, and the steps to securely connect endpoints between the Blogs API and Visitor Queue.
Application Programming Interface that lets systems communicate and exchange data.
A secure authorization framework that grants limited access to resources without revealing user credentials.
A URL-friendly identifier used to locate a specific blog post.
A sequence of tasks waiting to be processed by the integration.
Automatically push new blog posts to the queue for review and scheduled publishing.
Attach fresh blog summaries to email campaigns via the Blogs API to boost engagement.
Sync posts to multiple channels through Visitor Queue using the Blogs API endpoints.
Create an API key in the Blogs API dashboard and note the required scopes.
Configure OAuth or token-based authentication to authorize Visitor Queue.
Map endpoints, run test calls, verify data flow and triggers.
No coding is required for the basic connection. You can authenticate with the Blogs API and use Zapier or your preferred connector to map data fields between Blogs API and Visitor Queue. Our guides walk you through the setup steps with simple, copy-paste configurations.
For a minimal sync, you’ll typically need endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can start with these and expand as needed.
Test by creating a draft post, then confirm a corresponding queue item appears in Visitor Queue. Use mock data to verify triggers, field mappings, and statuses. Review logs for any errors.
Supported methods include API key tokens and OAuth 2.0 tokens. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes (blogs read/write and emails as applicable) to perform the required actions.
Yes. You can chain actions like creating a queue item, updating post metadata, and sending an email summary from a single trigger. Use multi-step automations to orchestrate actions.
Monitor rate limits in your GHL account and implement exponential backoff in your calls. Spread requests over time and cache results where possible to avoid bursts.
Endpoint details, parameters, and example payloads are documented in the Blogs API developer docs. Look for the endpoint list under the integration section for this app.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
