Begin by obtaining API credentials for the Blogs API from your GHL dashboard and granting access to the Zoho Backstage app so the two systems can securely exchange data.
Generate an OAuth token or API key in Zoho Backstage to authorize the Blogs API to read and write content on your behalf.
– GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API to automatically publish it as a Zoho Backstage event or article.
Actions: create a new Zoho Backstage post or update an existing one using the Blogs API post data.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, author, date_published
Trigger on author creation or updates in Blogs API to reflect changes in Zoho Backstage author list.
Actions: fetch author details and map to Zoho Backstage authors.
GET /blogs/authors
Fields: author_id, name, bio, avatar
Trigger on category updates in Blogs API to mirror in Zoho Backstage categories.
Actions: pull blogs/categories and create/update corresponding Zoho Backstage categories.
GET /blogs/categories
Fields: category_id, name, slug
Set up integrations quickly without writing code, using visual mappings and triggers.
Keep content in sync across platforms with automated workflows and scheduled tasks.
Reduce manual data entry and errors through reliable field mappings and error handling.
Here are essential terms and how they flow in the Blogs API and Zoho Backstage integration.
A defined URL and HTTP method that performs a specific action in an API.
The process of proving identity so that the API can securely exchange data.
A URL-friendly version of a title used for routing and SEO.
A callback URL in a service that receives real-time notifications when an event occurs.
Automatically create Zoho Backstage activities when new blogs publish, turning posts into event updates.
Sync author bios and avatars from Blogs API into Zoho Backstage to keep profiles current.
Map blog categories to Zoho Backstage categories to improve search and navigation.
Obtain API keys for Blogs API and OAuth tokens for Zoho Backstage.
Define which endpoints to use and map fields between systems so data flows correctly.
Enable the integration and review logs to confirm successful synchronization.
No-code setup is possible using visual builders and mappings. The Blogs API and Zoho Backstage integration supports point-and-click configuration to connect data fields and trigger actions. If you prefer, you can extend automation later with code for custom logic. This page provides tested patterns you can copy and adapt.
Start with the core content endpoints: create, update, and fetch blog posts and authors. This gives you the skeleton to publish content and keep author data in sync. You can progressively add category mapping and slug checks as your workflow matures.
Authentication is handled via API keys/OAuth tokens. Keep tokens secure and rotate them periodically. Use scoped credentials to limit access to only the required endpoints for your integration.
Test connectivity by performing a dry run in a sandbox or staging environment. Check that a new blog post in Blogs API creates a corresponding Zoho Backstage entry, and verify author and category mappings.
Yes. Field-by-field mapping lets you align blog titles, content, slugs, authors, and categories with Zoho Backstage fields. Use consistent data formats and add validation to catch mismatches early.
If an endpoint changes, update your mappings and test the flow again. Most platforms offer versioned endpoints; keep track of API version when updating.
Error details appear in the integration logs. Look for status codes, payload errors, and rate limits. Use these signals to adjust mappings or retry logic.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
