Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials and the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use API keys or OAuth as supported by your workspace.
Configure OAuth2 or API key flow for the Zapier App Connector to securely access Blogs API resources.
Core endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder (readonly), POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, this trigger starts a Zapier workflow to update subscribers, post notifications, or kick off related actions.
Actions include creating or updating email builder templates, scheduling campaigns, and routing data to other connected apps.
Use POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate a slug.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger fires when a post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: propagate edits to email campaigns, CMS, and subscribers.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks.
postId, title, slug, updatedAt.
On-demand fetch to pull the latest categories and authors from the Blogs API.
Actions: map GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors results into your Zapier fields.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name.
Rapid setup with no coding required, so your team can deploy workflows in minutes.
Trigger-based automation ensures consistent content delivery across channels without developers.
Built-in error handling, retries, and logging help maintain reliability.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and common concepts used when integrating the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software components talk to each other.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a service.
A URL-friendly string used as a human-readable identifier for a resource.
A URL that receives real-time notifications when an event occurs.
Automatically deliver new posts via email to subscribers when a post goes live.
Trigger posts to your social networks when a new blog is published.
Synchronize edits across your CMS, email campaigns, and analytics dashboards.
Grant the Zapier App Connector permission to use the Blogs API in your workspace.
Choose endpoints (e.g., GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts) and map fields to your workflows.
Run tests for triggers and actions, then deploy to production.
The Blogs API supports API keys and OAuth2 for authentication. Choose the method that aligns with your security policy and ensure the necessary scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly) are granted. In Zapier, configure the app to use OAuth2 or an API key flow and verify the connection before building your workflow. In your environment, store credentials securely and test access to the listed endpoints to confirm proper permissions.
For blog post management, you typically need POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. To support content retrieval and organization, use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors in conjunction with GET /blogs/posts. Map the response fields to your Zapier actions to maintain data consistency across platforms.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. If the slug already exists, generate a new slug or update the existing post with a new slug. This prevents duplicate content and ensures clean URLs. Always validate slug availability as part of your create workflow to avoid errors later in the publish process.
No coding is required to connect the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector. The platform provides ready-made triggers, actions, and field mapping interfaces that you can configure visually. If you need advanced logic, you can still add simple branching within Zapier, but most common workflows can be built without writing code.
Map fields such as title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId between the Blogs API responses and your Zapier action inputs. Use Zapier’s built-in field mapping to align API responses with your target apps. Validate mappings with test data to ensure accuracy and avoid data mismatches in production.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the endpoints in use. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff in Zapier and respect the API’s quotas. If a limit is reached, gracefully pause the workflow and retry after a short interval. Consider batching or staggering requests to avoid bursts that hit limits.
Use Zapier’s test features to simulate triggers and actions with sample data. Check API responses, verify endpoints exist, confirm scopes and credentials, and review the mapping of fields. If issues persist, consult endpoint documentation, confirm your environment’s URL paths, and verify slug checks to isolate the root cause.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
