Authenticate requests with your GHL API credentials. The integration requires the scope emails/builder.readonly to read email templates and builder data.
Connect Yardbook by granting access to the Blogs API scope within Yardbook so posts, schedules, and categories can be created or updated.
Core endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET blogs/categories; GET blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: A new Yardbook task is created or updated, automatically draft or update a blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Create or update blog post (POST /blogs/posts), ensure a unique slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), assign category, and publish when ready.
Methods used: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, slug, title, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: Yardbook events trigger scheduled blog posts or newsletters in Blogs API.
Actions: Create post and set publishAt (schedule) using POST /blogs/posts and update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories
Fields: postId, publishAt, slug, categoryId
Trigger: Yardbook content updates trigger a refresh of the corresponding blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Update blog post content (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), refresh slug if needed (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), adjust categories and author.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId
Automate content workflows without writing custom code.
Rapid setup with a visual workflow in Zapier App Connector, no programming required.
Unified data between Yardbook and Blogs API enables cohesive automation and analytics.
This glossary defines common terms like Blog Post, Slug, Endpoint, and Webhook used in this guide.
A piece of content created in Blogs API that can be published on a website or blog.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the post URL.
A specific API route (path) and HTTP method used to perform an action.
A callback URL that receives real-time event data from an API.
Automatically draft blog posts when new tasks are added in Yardbook, using Blogs API to generate title, slug, and initial content.
Link Yardbook events to scheduled blog posts and newsletters via the Blogs API to keep audiences informed.
Refresh existing posts with SEO-friendly slugs and updated categories to boost visibility.
In GHL, generate an API key or OAuth token with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly).
In Yardbook, connect to the GHL Blogs API by granting access to the requested scopes for posts, emails, and scheduling.
Test endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/posts to confirm data flow and permissions.
Use OAuth tokens or API keys generated in the GHL dashboard. For this Yardbook integration, ensure the scope is emails/builder.readonly to allow reading email templates and builder data. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. If a token expires, refresh via the OAuth flow or re-create the API key with the needed scopes.
Begin with reading data: test GET emails/builder and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to understand current content and slug uniqueness. Then try creating a blog post with POST /blogs/posts to verify write permissions. Validate that the data flow from Yardbook to Blogs API is functioning as expected.
To ensure a unique slug, query GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, modify it (for example by appending a numeric suffix) and retry. Maintain consistent slug patterns to preserve SEO and link integrity.
Yes. You can schedule posts by creating a blog post with a publishAt value or by updating an existing post’s publishAt using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to guarantee slug validity, and leverage the emails/schedule endpoints for coordinating email-related workflows.
The core scopes include emails/builder.readonly for reading email templates, and additional blog scopes such as blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write for creating and updating posts. Depending on your workflow, you may also need blogs/check-slug.readonly and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug validation.
GHL imposes API rate limits. Plan calls to avoid bursts, implement exponential backoff, and queue actions when possible. For complex workflows, stagger requests across steps to prevent throttling and ensure reliable processing.
You do not need to write custom code. This integration can be configured with no-code tools like Zapier App Connector, using triggers, actions, and webhooks to connect Yardbook events with Blogs API endpoints.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
