Set up secure access by creating an API key or OAuth token for the Blogs API in your GHL developer console and grant the necessary scopes for blog creation and updates.
You’ll need an active WhatsAble workspace and verified API credentials for the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and ensure the required permissions are granted.

No code required: trigger events and actions through native automations in WhatsAble.
Automate publishing and scheduling of blog content without manual data transfers.
Centralized content planning with categories, authors, and slug checks in one place.
This section defines API endpoints, triggers, actions, and data flow between WhatsAble and the Blogs API to simplify your workflow.
Application Programming Interface that lets apps talk to each other and perform actions like creating or updating posts.
A URL friendly identifier derived from the post title used in blog URLs and slug validation checks.
A blog entry containing title, content, excerpt, and metadata.
A sequence of triggers and actions that move data between WhatsAble and the Blogs API.
Automatically pull top WhatsAble drafts and generate a weekly blog roundup post via the Blogs API.
Publish successful WhatsAble posts to other blog platforms by mapping fields to each API.
Automatically generate and validate SEO friendly slugs from post titles for consistent URLs.
Collect your Blogs API credentials in GHL and ensure you grant write access for posts, categories, and authors.
Enter the endpoint paths in WhatsAble and map fields like title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId.
Run a test post, verify slug creation and category assignment, monitor error logs, and then enable automation.
You authenticate via an API key or OAuth token provided by the Blogs API. Keep your credentials secure and rotate them regularly. In WhatsAble, store tokens securely and apply the required scopes to enable post creation and updates. If you run into access issues, verify that your API key is active and that the user has permission to modify posts.
The core endpoints for publishing are POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts for retrieval. You’ll typically map WhatsAble fields such as title, content, excerpt, slug, categories, and author to the API fields. Use the slug validation endpoint to ensure uniqueness before publishing.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. If the slug exists, you can modify it or generate a new one. Incorporate slug checks into your workflow to prevent duplicates.
Yes. Use the Blogs API scheduling features if available, or post publish automation in WhatsAble to set a publishDate parameter when creating posts. This allows you to queue posts for future release.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Plan accordingly and batch requests when possible. Implement retries with exponential backoff and log failures for debugging.
Categories and authors come from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Map WhatsAble categories and author fields to the API values and maintain synchronization.
If you encounter errors, check the API response codes, review your endpoint mappings, and consult the Blogs API docs for the specific error messages. Enable detailed logging in WhatsAble to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
