Connect securely by granting OAuth 2.0 access or using an API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly to read blog data and manage posts. The integration uses standard GHL authentication and token management to protect your data.
Zapier securely stores and rotates OAuth tokens and uses them to perform authenticated requests to the Blogs API on your behalf, ensuring safe and seamless automation.
Core Blogs API endpoints for Zapier: – GET /blogs/posts (list posts) – POST /blogs/posts (create a post) – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update a post) – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug existence) – GET /blogs/categories (list categories) – GET /blogs/authors (list authors) – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (verify slug) – POST /blogs/post-update.write (update post data) – GET /blogs/categories (retrieve category data) – GET /blogs/authors (retrieve author data)
Trigger: When a form submission is received in your app, create a new blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post, populate title, content, slug, category, and author; map fields from the form.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: Schedule a publish date-time and push the post at that moment.
Actions: Create or update post with a publish_at timestamp using POST /blogs/posts; rely on scheduling logic to publish automatically.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: publish_at, title, content
Trigger: Draft posts pass through slug validation and category routing before publishing.
Actions: Check slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), fetch categories (GET /blogs/categories), and assign category (categoryId) before publish.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: slug, categoryId
No-code automation: automate blog publishing, updating, and scheduling without writing code.
Unified workflows: connect posts, categories, authors, and schedules in a single Zapier workflow.
Scalability: reuse steps across multiple blogs and teams with consistent data mapping.
This glossary covers endpoints, data fields, and common processes when integrating the GHL Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
A defined URL on the GHL API that performs a specific action, such as creating a blog post.
A secure authorization framework used to grant Zapier access to GHL data without sharing credentials.
A URL-friendly string derived from the blog title used in the post URL.
A planned publication window for a blog post.
Pull a summary from your CMS and publish a weekly digest to the Blogs API via a scheduled Zap.
When a draft becomes ready, automatically publish and update metadata using Blogs API endpoints.
Capture user-submitted content and push as new blog posts via the Blogs API.
In Zapier, select the Blogs API app and connect your GHL account by granting the requested scope (e.g., blogs data).
Choose a trigger (new blog post) and an action (create post) and map fields between sources.
Run tests, verify data flows, and publish the Zap for automation.
No coding is required to connect the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector. Use simple triggers and actions to automate common blogging workflows. If your needs grow more complex, you can combine multiple steps in a single Zap to orchestrate data flow across posts, categories, and authors. Zapier also supports multi-step Zaps and conditional logic, so experienced users can build advanced content pipelines without writing code.
The integration focuses on core Blogs API endpoints such as creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). You can also fetch categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors) to enrich your posts. Optional endpoints like post updates (POST /blogs/post-update.write) enable updating metadata as part of a Zap.
Slug management is essential for clean URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug is unique before publishing. Retrieve categories with GET /blogs/categories and assign the appropriate categoryId to your post to ensure proper routing and organization.
Yes. Zapier can schedule posts by including a publish_at timestamp when creating or updating a post via POST /blogs/posts. You can set up reminders or timed publishing as part of a scheduled Zap.
Access typically requires a scope that allows reading and writing blog data. In this context, you’ll use the Blogs API scopes associated with the Zapier app, such as the ability to read blog data and publish posts. Ensure your OAuth token is kept secure and refreshed as needed.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 tokens managed by the Zapier App Connector. You grant access once, and Zapier automatically refreshes tokens as long as the connection remains valid. No credential sharing is required.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API reference for the Blogs endpoints, and the Zapier app’s developer documentation provides setup steps, field mappings, and example Zaps. Use both resources to design your automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
