Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect Blogs API to Wistia in GHL?

To connect Blogs API to Wistia in GHL, first generate an API key for Blogs API and authorize the connection within GHL. Then authorize your Wistia account to enable video data flow. Map Wistia fields (videoUrl, videoId, thumbnail) to your Blogs API email templates and blog posts to ensure seamless data transfer. Test the setup with sample videos to verify content rendering and URL routing.

Key endpoints include GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder for crafting email drafts, POST /blogs/posts to publish posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. You may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content and GET /blogs/categories for taxonomy when organizing posts.

Yes. By watching Wistia events (e.g., publish, engagement thresholds), you can trigger a POST to /blogs/posts to create a new blog entry and simultaneously generate an email draft via /emails/builder. This keeps video content and blog posts in sync.

Authentication uses API keys and OAuth where supported. Generate credentials in Blogs API for GHL access and connect your Wistia account. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed per your security policy.

Slug availability is checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating posts. If a slug exists, generate an alternative slug or allow the system to auto-increment to avoid conflicts.

Yes. Templates can be customized inside GHL and linked to Blogs API fields. You can map video data to subject lines, body content, and CTAs, then reuse these templates across multiple campaigns.

Analytics for this integration appears in the GHL dashboard and associated endpoint metrics. Track email opens, link clicks, video engagement, and post performance to optimize future campaigns.
