Authenticate with your GHL access token that includes the emails/builder.readonly scope to read templates and schedules. This ensures Zapier can securely access templates and timing data while keeping controls centralized.
Connect Actionstep securely to the GHL integration via the Zapier app. Verify permissions to read blog data and create or update tasks, notes, or campaigns in Actionstep. Map fields carefully to maintain data integrity.

Automates data flow between content creation and client work without writing code.
Fewer manual steps, faster campaign launches and post approvals.
Centralized control with a single source of truth across apps.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect GHL with Actionstep for the Blogs API.
A defined URL and HTTP method that enable apps to perform a specific action or retrieve data.
An event in one app that starts an automation in another app.
The operation performed in the target app as a result of a trigger.
A real-time data delivery method where apps notify each other via HTTP callbacks.
Automatically create Actionstep tasks when new blog posts are published, with due dates and assignees mapped from post metadata.
Sync author and category data to Actionstep dashboards to improve planning and reporting.
Trigger email campaigns automatically when a post goes live, using templates pulled from Emails Builder.
Authorize the connection using your GHL access token with the emails/builder.readonly scope to read templates and schedules.
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors to bring blog content and metadata into Actionstep.
Map fields (title, author, category) to Actionstep records and set up automated actions.
No coding is required. The Blogs API and the Actionstep connector in Zapier provide a visual interface to connect apps. You can set triggers and actions without writing code. If you need more complex logic, you can add filters, paths, and field mappings to tailor the flow to your exact process.
For a basic workflow, start with essential endpoints like GET emails/builder to read templates, POST /blogs/posts to publish posts, and GET /blogs/authors plus GET /blogs/categories to pull in metadata. Map these fields to your Actionstep records for seamless content-to-workflow automation.
Authenticate by connecting your GHL account and granting an access token with the emails/builder.readonly scope. Then connect Actionstep via the Zapier app and test the integration. Keep tokens secure and refresh them as needed; periodically revalidate permissions to maintain smooth operation.
Yes. You can sync authors and categories by pulling GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and mapping them to Actionstep fields. This enables richer metadata on tasks, campaigns, and notes, improving collaboration and reporting.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. To minimize impact, batch requests, use pagination, and prefer webhooks where possible. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and retry logic in your workflow.
Yes, you can edit blog posts via Actionstep by invoking PUT /blogs/posts/:postId from your workflow. Ensure proper field mappings and permissions. Be mindful of slug changes and re-sync affected fields after updates to keep all systems aligned.
Error logs are available in the Zapier task history and the GHL console. For deeper debugging, enable verbose logging in the app and review API responses to identify where the workflow is breaking. Use test runs to isolate issues and adjust mappings as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
