To begin, obtain an API key for the Blogs API in GHL and securely connect Youform to authorize access to blog resources.
Grant Youform the permissions it needs to read and write blog posts, categories, and authors via the Blogs API, using OAuth or API keys.
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder; API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write; API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder; API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data; API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly; API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule; API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write; API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts; API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write; API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly; API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly; API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories; API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly; API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new Youform submission creates a draft post via POST /blogs/posts.
Action: Use title, content, and optional slug to publish via POST /blogs/posts; set categories and tags.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, categories, tags, status
Trigger: When form data indicates an update, call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: Update fields such as title, content, slug, and categories; ensure postId matches existing post.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, categories
Trigger: Before publish, verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: Check slug, then proceed with POST /blogs/posts or update existing post
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, postId
No coding is required—build, test, and deploy automations with clicks.
Keep blog content and form data in sync to improve workflow reliability.
Speed up go-to-market with ready-made endpoints and direct mappings.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and common fields used when connecting the Blogs API to Youform.
A specific URL and HTTP method for accessing a resource in the GHL API.
A concrete operation performed by your integration (for example, creating a blog post).
An event that starts an automation, such as a form submission in Youform.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in blog links.
Map form fields to blog post fields and publish automatically when a form is submitted.
Set publish times using Youform trigger data and GHL’s scheduling endpoints.
Reflect edits made in Blogs back into your Youform workflow for consistency.
Create and store API credentials, authorize Youform to access blog data, and verify the connection.
Link Youform fields to Blog post fields: title, content, slug, categories, author.
Turn on the workflow and monitor results in real time.
No coding is required for most integrations—use the no-code builder to map fields and set triggers. If you are connecting a custom workflow, you may use optional scripting, but the platform provides solid defaults.
Focus on endpoints for posting, updating, and slug checks (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a draft or published post from Youform data.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to avoid conflicts.
There is no hard daily limit from the API; limits depend on your account plan and rate limits. Plan accordingly.
Test in a sandbox or staging environment, simulate form submissions, and monitor API responses and logs.

Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
