Overview

This article covers two common issues you may encounter in Search Atlas: a 400 error when connecting a GoHighLevel (GHL) connector, and how to insert internal or external links into your blog posts. Follow the sections below for guidance on each issue.

Part 1: GHL Connector — 'Request Failed with Status Code 400'

A 400 error when adding a GHL connector means the platform rejected the request before a connection could be established. This is most commonly caused by expired, revoked, or incorrectly entered GHL credentials.

How to Fix the GHL 400 Error

Try the following steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Go to your GoHighLevel account settings and verify that your API key or access token is still active and has not been revoked.
  2. In Search Atlas, navigate to Settings > CMS Connectors (via the top-right avatar menu) and remove the existing GHL connector.
  3. Re-add the GHL connector by entering your credentials fresh — do not reuse a previously copied key without confirming it is current.
  4. If your GHL account uses location-level API keys, make sure you are using the key for the correct sub-account or location.
  5. Save and test the connection again.

If the 400 error persists after re-entering valid credentials, the issue may require investigation on the backend. When escalating, please have the following ready:

  • Your Search Atlas account email
  • The exact error message (a screenshot is helpful)
  • The timestamp when the error first occurred
  • The GHL credentials or API key details you have already tried

Part 2: Inserting Links into Blog Posts

You can insert internal or external links into your blog posts directly within the Search Atlas content editor. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the blog post you want to edit in the Search Atlas content editor.
  2. Highlight the anchor text — the word or phrase you want to turn into a link.
  3. With the text highlighted, click the link icon in the editor toolbar (it looks like a chain or paperclip icon).
  4. In the link dialog that appears, paste the URL you want to link to — this can be an internal page on your site or any external URL.
  5. Confirm or save the link. The highlighted text will now be clickable.

To remove a link, highlight the linked text and click the link icon again, then select the option to remove or unlink.
