Blogs API requires secure authentication to access endpoints. Use an API key or OAuth as provided by GHL and grant the necessary scopes to manage blogs emails and authors.
In Zapier you connect the Blogs API app using OAuth2 or API key as supported, granting access to required scopes for your automations.

Blogs API supports API key authentication or OAuth2. Start by creating an API key in your account settings and add it to your requests with the appropriate scope. For higher security, configure OAuth2 and grant only the permissions needed by your Zapier automations. The exact method you choose depends on your security needs and enterprise policies.
The setup covers core blog endpoints such as creating posts updating posts and slug checks. It also includes listing categories and authors and reading emails templates as part of the automation. If you need additional endpoints you can extend the Zap by adding more actions mapped to the Blogs API endpoints shown in the section above.
No code is required for most automations. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that you can map in a few clicks. If you need custom logic beyond the built in actions you can augment with filters and paths.
Use Zapier test mode to run triggers and actions against a sandbox. Review request logs and payloads to ensure mappings are correct. Enable test data in Blogs API settings and confirm that posts authors and categories sync as expected.
Yes you can schedule emails using emails/builder and emails/schedule endpoints to deliver newsletters on a defined cadence.
Zapier surfaces the error in the task history. You can retry, handle specific error codes, and implement conditional paths to gracefully manage failures.
Rate limits are documented in the API docs and in your developer portal. If you approach the limits, space requests or contact support for guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
