Secure access to the Blogs API from GHL requires OAuth 2.0. Create a client in the Blogs API developer console, request the proper scopes such as emails/builder.readonly, and exchange tokens for API calls.
Zoho Connect authenticates apps via OAuth 2.0. In the Zoho Developer Console, register the Zoho Connect app, obtain client credentials, and authorize scopes needed to post updates and read content.

Key terms and processes used when connecting Blogs API with Zoho Connect via GHL
Application Programming Interface lets software components talk to each other and perform actions.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard authorization protocol used to grant limited access to resources without sharing credentials.
A specific URL where an API can be accessed by a client to perform a function.
A callback URL that allows one system to notify another when an event occurs.
Automatically generate concise summaries of new blog posts and post them in a Zoho Connect channel to boost engagement
Share new author bios and highlights in Zoho Connect as a regular update
Publish actionable SEO tips from Blogs API posts to Zoho Connect teams
Create a new app in Zoho Connect developer console and note the client credentials. Configure the redirect URI to receive tokens from the Blogs API.
In the GHL dashboard, authorize the Blogs API app and exchange authorization codes for access and refresh tokens using the provided scopes.
Run test calls to fetch and post data, verify webhooks, and then deploy to production with monitoring.
Yes a basic understanding of APIs helps. You will use standard REST calls and OAuth 2.0 flows. Start with authenticating and listing posts or emails to verify connectivity. If you are new to APIs, use the quick start guides in the Blogs API and Zoho Connect docs to get credentials and test sandbox calls.
Commonly used endpoints include creating and listing blog posts, checking slug existence, and fetching authors and categories. For notifications you will leverage email template endpoints. Begin with POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors to verify content flow, then expand to emails and schedules as needed.
Testing should be done in a safe sandbox or development environment. Use mock data to create posts and author records, verify OAuth token exchange, and confirm webhooks fire as expected. Validate success responses, error handling, and retry behavior before moving to production.
Use OAuth 2.0 with least privilege scopes. Start with the emails and blogs read permissions and broaden only as needed. Regularly rotate tokens and monitor activity in both platforms to detect anomalies.
Yes you can customize updates using templates and rich content in Zoho Connect. You can format post digests, include summaries, author bios, and status indicators to match team preferences.
Yes the integration can be used across multiple Zoho Connect workspaces. You will typically register separate app credentials per workspace or use a multi-tenant approach depending on your admin setup and security policies.
API docs are available in the Blogs API and Zoho Connect developer portals. Look for authentication guides, endpoint reference, and examples. If you need help beyond docs, contact developer support channels provided in each portal.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
