Obtain a GHL API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and configure it in Wati. This credential allows Wati to read blog data and trigger messages through the Blogs API endpoint set.
In Wati, connect the Blogs API by supplying your API key and any needed tokens. This authentication secures communication between Wati and the GHL Blogs API.
Core endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
When Blogs API publishes a new post, Wati sends a WhatsApp notification to your subscribers.
Actions: Send WhatsApp message containing title and link; optionally log the delivery.
GET /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, slug, authorName, publishedAt
Trigger on post updates; when a post changes, push an updated WhatsApp message.
Actions: Update existing message content or create a new notification; track change history.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, lastModified, changedFields
Trigger: check slug availability before publishing to avoid duplicates.
Actions: Notify content team, queue slug adjustment.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, exists

Run tests, verify deliveries, and deploy to production with monitoring.
The Blogs API is part of GHL’s developer surface that lets you manage blog content, categories, authors, and posting data through programmable endpoints. Using the Blogs API from Wati enables automated messaging workflows around blog content, such as notifying subscribers when new posts go live, or updating teams when edits occur.
Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment to simulate real-world data without impacting production. Create test posts and sample contacts to verify triggers, payload mappings, and delivery success before going live. When ready, switch to production and monitor performance.
No traditional coding is required thanks to the visual triggers, actions, and field mappings in Wati and the GHL UI. For most scenarios, a no-code setup suffices. If you need more advanced tailoring, you can call endpoints directly or add custom logic, but it isn’t required for standard blog notification workflows.
Core endpoints for publishing updates include GET /blogs/posts (read posts), POST /blogs/posts (create), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update), and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug check). Additional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help enrich posts with category and author data.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth—store credentials securely and apply the proper scopes for the operations you need. Rotate keys periodically and limit access to only the required endpoints to reduce risk.
If a slug already exists, use the slugExists endpoint to verify and either modify the slug or choose a different one. A slug conflict typically blocks publishing until resolved, helping avoid duplicate posts.
You can review logs and analytics within GHL and Wati dashboards, where endpoint hits, successes, failures, and timestamps are visible. Use these insights to fine-tune triggers, payloads, and delivery timing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
