To start, authorize your GHL account to access the Blogs API endpoints. This secure connection uses OAuth scopes to protect templates, posts, and schedules.
Authorize WaniKani to push data into GHL and to trigger blog content creation and email workflows.
Key endpoints include emails/builder (GET, POST), emails/builder/data (POST), blogs/posts (POST), blogs/posts/:postId (PUT), blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (GET), blogs/categories (GET), blogs/authors (GET), blogs/check-slug.readonly (GET), emails/schedule (GET). This list covers the core actions for templates, posts, schedules, and category handling.
When a WaniKani event occurs (lesson completed or milestone reached), fetch a template with GET emails/builder and populate it with data via POST /emails/builder/data, then schedule delivery.
Actions: retrieve template, map WaniKani data to template fields, populate content, and schedule the email using emails/schedule.
Paths used: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: templateId, locationId, postId, triggerEvent, recipientList
Configure a trigger on WaniKani content changes to create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts and verify slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: create post, assign category and author, generate slug, and publish via the blogs endpoints.
Paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, postId
When new glossary terms are added in WaniKani, draft a blog post and a weekly digest email using the Blogs API templates.
Actions: create or update blog posts, adjust categories, schedule digest emails via the emails/schedule endpoint, and monitor results.
Paths: POST /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule
Fields: newTermId, term, definition, publicationDate, digestDate
Build powerful automations without writing code: connect WaniKani updates to blog content and email campaigns in minutes.
Drag-and-drop templates, triggers, and built‑in mappings speed time to publish.
Secure, scalable workflows with OAuth scopes and centralized data flow from a single platform.
A quick glossary explains the core terms, endpoints, and processes used to connect Blogs API with WaniKani through GHL.
A specific URL path that performs a task in a service, for example GET emails/builder.
The process of proving identity to access GHL APIs securely, typically via OAuth 2.0.
A callback mechanism that triggers actions in response to events from an app or service.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the blog URL.
Turn WaniKani study guides into SEO-friendly blog posts with automated formatting and image extraction.
Craft dynamic newsletters that reflect a learner’s progress and recommend next lessons or reviews.
Set up a weekly digest that combines new blog posts with WaniKani updates for a single hand-off.
Collect your Blogs API credentials, authorize GHL, and map trigger events from WaniKani.
Choose endpoint paths, connect templates, and define data fields for posts and emails.
Run tests, deploy automation, and monitor performance with dashboards.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage blog posts, categories, authors, and templates. It integrates with WaniKani to bring content ideas, updates, and study guides into your blog and email workflows. This no‑code approach lets you map WaniKani events to actions in GHL without writing custom code. You can fetch templates, populate them with WaniKani data, and trigger email sends or post creation automatically.
A no‑code setup is possible by using the built‑in templates and event triggers. You will authenticate with GHL, connect to the Blogs API endpoints, and configure data mappings. If you need complex logic, you can still rely on the endpoint paths and data fields to customize behavior, but most common scenarios require no programming.
Essential endpoints typically include GET emails/builder for templates, POST /emails/builder/data to fill templates, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Depending on your use case, you may also utilize GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for proper categorization and attribution.
Security is maintained through OAuth scopes and access tokens. The Scope for the example connection is emails/builder.readonly, which limits access to templates and related data. You can extend scopes as needed to control what the integration can do, and monitor activity from the GHL dashboard.
Yes. You can adjust triggers (events from WaniKani) and delays using the available endpoints and workflow settings. You can also add conditions to when emails are sent or posts are published to better align with your editorial calendar.
For errors and retries, rely on the platform’s built‑in logging and dashboards. You can configure retries on failed requests, monitor endpoint responses, and view activity through the GHL activity log to quickly diagnose and resolve issues.
Data visibility is available in GHL via the connected Blogs API and email templates. You can test endpoints, preview posts, and review scheduled emails from the appropriate sections of the GHL dashboard. If needed, you can use URL slug checks and category/author lists to verify content before publication.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
