No coding required. This is a no-code integration built through Zapier where you map fields from your data source to the Blogs API. If you ever need customized logic, you can add filters and multi-step flows in Zapier. If you run into limits, consider splitting data across multiple tasks or upgrading your Zapier plan.
Publishing posts typically uses POST /blogs/posts. You may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicate slugs. Optional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories help assign correct categories during creation.
Yes. You can fetch and synchronize categories via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors. Regularly polling these endpoints keeps your app’s metadata up to date. For large catalogs, cache results and schedule periodic refreshes in Zapier.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on the setup. In Zapier, choose the Blogs API service and authorize with the appropriate scope (read/write as needed). Keep credentials secure and rotate them on a regular schedule.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update a post’s title, content, or slug from Zapier. You can trigger updates from changes in your source data and reflect them in Blogs API automatically.
Limits depend on your GHL and Zapier plans. There are generally no hard platform-wide caps in this context, but very high volumes may require batching tasks or scheduling off-peak runs. Always monitor API rate limits and error responses.
Endpoint documentation is provided in the Blogs API and GHL API references. In Zapier, open the Blogs API app to view supported actions and triggers, and consult the API endpoint list for exact paths and required fields.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
