Authenticate to the Blogs API from your GHL account by providing your API credentials and ensuring the necessary scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly for read access and additional scopes for writing posts and managing blog content).
Connect Zapier App Connector to your GHL account using OAuth2 or an API token, granting access to blog endpoints, email endpoints, and post management features needed for automation.

No-code automation lets you set up powerful workflows without writing a line of code.
Rapid setup and maintenance with visual editors and prebuilt actions.
Two-way sync between Blogs API and GHL for consistent content.
Essential elements and processes you’ll encounter when connecting the Blogs API to the Zapier App Connector include authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enable software components to communicate.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action.
A method for apps to send real-time data to another service.
An open standard for token-based authentication.
Automatically compile the latest posts into a digest and email subscribers via the Blogs API’s builder.
Use a time-based trigger to push drafted posts to GHL as published posts.
Automatically generate URL slugs and assign categories using endpoint data.
Set up OAuth or API tokens to secure access to the Blogs API and the App Connector.
Select endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Map fields like title, content, slug, and author to your workflows.
To authenticate, initiate OAuth2 or use an API key with the appropriate scopes for read and write access. In Zapier App Connector, connect your GHL account and select the Blogs API as the target. Ensure your token is kept secure and refresh tokens as needed. Once connected, you can start mapping fields and building your workflows. If you encounter authorization errors, verify that the token has not expired and that the required scopes (such as blogs/post.write and blogs/posts) are granted for the actions you intend to perform.
For publishing posts to GHL, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create a new post, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You may also need to check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to avoid duplicates. Map the required fields like title, content, slug, and author to ensure a complete post is created.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness before creating a post. If a slug already exists, you can modify it or generate a new slug automatically within your workflow. This helps prevent duplicates and ensures clean URLs for readers and SEO.
Map data fields between Apps by creating a Zapier mapping: title to title, content to content, slug to slug, author to authorId, and category to categories. Use the endpoint definitions to align required fields and optional metadata like excerpt or tags. Testing the mapping ensures the data flows correctly into GHL.
There isn’t a universal daily limit; it depends on your GHL plan and API usage quotas. Monitor the number of posts and API calls in your integration to avoid throttling. Implement retry logic and exponential backoff in your workflows if needed.
No-code setup is possible using Zapier App Connector with the Blogs API. You can authenticate, select endpoints, and map fields through a visual editor. Some advanced scenarios may require light scripting, but most workflows can be built entirely with no-code actions and triggers.
If you see errors, review token validity and scope permissions, confirm endpoint availability, and inspect field mappings. Zapier’s test feature can help validate the trigger and action steps. Check API response codes to diagnose issues such as 401 (unauthorized) or 404 (not found).
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
