To begin, create a GHL API credential for Blogs API with the scope that aligns to your needs. Use the supported auth method you prefer, noting the scope listed here: emails/builder.readonly.
Authorizing WildApricot involves granting the Blogs API connection access to read and push blog related data into your WildApricot account through a secure workflow.
Primary endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET blogs/categories, GET blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /emails/builder/data and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks.
When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically push updated template data to WildApricot to notify subscribers.
Map post fields to email template data, enable emails builder actions, and test with a sample post to ensure correct rendering.
Example calls include GET emails/builder to fetch templates and POST /emails/builder/data to push updates.
Key fields include templateId, locationId, postTitle, postSlug.
Sync blog categories and authors from Blogs API to WildApricot lists to target newsletters by interest.
Set up mappings for categoryName and authorName to WildApricot fields; schedule regular pulls from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate WildApricot groups; update posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed.
Key fields include categoryId, authorId, categoryName, authorName.
Whenever a post changes, verify the slug exists and align with WildApricot routing for SEO friendly cross posting.
Check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, then update or create as needed; keep title, slug and meta synced.
Typical paths include PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, updatedAt.
Automate blog post publishing to WildApricot subscribers without writing code.
Create a single data flow that keeps posts, categories and author data in sync across platforms.
Use visual builders and prebuilt templates to accelerate deployment and testing.
A concise glossary of terms used in this guide and how they interact within the GHL Blogs API and WildApricot connection.
Application Programming Interface; a standardized set of rules that enables software to communicate and exchange data.
A URL endpoint that receives real time data pushes from a service to trigger actions in your app.
A specific URL path in an API that exposes a function such as retrieving posts or authors.
A URL friendly string used to identify a post or page, important for SEO and routing.
Trigger a personalized welcome email whenever a new post is published, pulling content and subscriber data from Blogs API and WildApricot.
Segment WildApricot lists by blog category and publish targeted newsletters as posts go live.
Automatically validate slugs via Blogs API and create SEO friendly cross posts in WildApricot.
Obtain a Blogs API credential and authorize access from WildApricot to read and write blog data.
Map blog fields to WildApricot fields and configure endpoints for categories, authors and posts.
Run tests with sample data, verify slug checks, and enable ongoing automation for syncing and publishing.
To authenticate, create a Blogs API credential with the appropriate scope and initiate the connection from WildApricot using the supported OAuth or API key flow. Once authorized, test with a small dataset to confirm permissions and data flow. Keep credentials secure and follow your orgs data governance policies. In a no code setup you will configure these steps visually within the integration UI.
For basic blog post syncing you will typically use endpoints that manage posts, categories and authors. Map postTitle, postSlug and content fields to WildApricot equivalents and set up a simple schedule for syncing. Validate access by calling GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts as needed.
Yes. You can automate email templates that accompany new posts. Create a trigger that pushes updated template data to the email builder when a post is published. This keeps communications aligned with published content and subscriber lists in WildApricot.
No coding is required for this integration. The no code flow uses visual builders and prebuilt templates to connect Lights, posts, and email templates. A basic understanding of fields you are mapping helps but you can accomplish most tasks without writing code.
Slug checks prevent duplicate or conflicting URLs. The endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists verifies if a slug is already in use. If a slug exists, you can update the post or generate a new slug before publishing.
Categories and authors are synced by pulling data from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and pushing key fields to WildApricot groups or contact attributes. This enables targeted newsletters and accurate audience segmentation.
Security considerations include managing API keys with least privilege, rotating credentials, and enforcing access controls. Use encrypted storage for keys and review permissions regularly.
