Access to the Blogs API requires a valid API key with the appropriate scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials securely in your Zapier connection and use them to authorize requests to the endpoints listed in this guide.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account by creating a connection using OAuth or an API token. Ensure the connection can access the Blogs API app and refresh tokens automatically to maintain uninterrupted workflows.

postId, title, content
Trigger: Retrieve authors and categories to enrich content before publishing.
Actions: Pull authors and categories; populate dropdowns; validate slugs with existing data.
GET /blogs/authors
none

A URL-friendly version of a post title used to create readable and SEO-friendly URLs.
The process of verifying identity (e.g., API keys, OAuth tokens) before allowing access to endpoints.
Send a Slack or email notification whenever a new blog post is created in Blogs API, with a summary and link.
Automatically move draft posts from a content calendar into Blogs API for publishing once approvals are received.
Populate SEO metadata and slug fields by pulling data from authors and categories via Blogs API endpoints.
Add a new connection using your API key and select the Blogs API app to begin mapping fields.
Select endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors, then map title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, and other fields.
Run test workflows, verify data mappings, and switch on automatic publishing and updates.
No coding is required to get started. Use Zapier App Connector to connect to the Blogs API, then map fields from your triggers to actions such as creating or updating blog posts and templates. This setup allows you to automate publishing workflows without writing code and keeps data in sync across platforms. You can leverage endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create new posts and GET /blogs/authors to populate author fields, all within a no-code Zapier workflow.
For common workflows, create a post with POST /blogs/posts, update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich your posts and maintain content consistency.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug already exists before creating or updating a post. This helps avoid duplicate URLs and keeps your blog structure clean. If the slug is taken, you can generate an alternative slug and retry within your Zap.
Yes. You can schedule email content using the email endpoints (GET emails/schedule and related templates) and tie that to blog publishing events in Zapier. This enables coordinated launches where emails go out as posts go live.
Your API token or OAuth credentials must include the scopes referenced in the integration (for example, emails/builder.readonly for reading email templates and blogs endpoints for posts, authors, and categories). Always secure credentials and rotate tokens as recommended.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the API endpoints used. To avoid hitting limits, stagger requests, batch updates when possible, and add error handling in Zapier to retry gracefully after a delay.
Zapier provides task history and run logs for each workflow. You can also enable API request logging on the Blogs API side if available, and monitor error messages to adjust mappings or credentials accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
