Access to the Blogs API is secured with tokens. In Zapier, store and reuse the token securely, then attach it to your requests.
The Zapier App Connector requires OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Set up credentials in the Zapier dashboard and test connectivity.

Fast, visual setup with drag-and-drop builders.
No heavy coding; reuse existing endpoints and triggers.
Easily test and iterate with live data in both systems.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping. Core processes: connect, configure mappings, test, deploy, and monitor.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation.
A URL friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
A method to securely verify identity and allow access to API resources like API keys or OAuth tokens.
A callback URL configured to receive real-time event data from an external service.
When an email draft is finalized, automatically publish a new blog post with the draft content.
Map author data from Blogs to GHL to populate author fields on posts and author bios.
Aggregate yesterday’s posts into a digest and email it to a subscriber list automatically.
Obtain API tokens for the Blogs API and configure OAuth in the Zapier App Connector.
Pair triggers and actions with endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories.
Create a Zap that uses incoming email data to publish or update blog posts.
You dont need to code; Zapier App Connector provides a no code way to connect. Use triggers, actions, and mappings to automate workflows between Blogs API and Zapier. No custom scripting is required unless you choose to extend functionality with advanced options.
To publish a blog post you typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and possibly PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates. Ensure title, content, slug, and category fields are mapped correctly. You may also verify slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
Yes. You can sync categories and authors by triggering on new categories or authors in Blogs and using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to mirror them into GHL. Regular synchronization keeps content taxonomy aligned across platforms.
Authentication is handled with tokens or OAuth. Store credentials securely in Zapier, rotate keys periodically, and scope permissions to only what is needed for the integration. Use HTTPS and validate responses to protect data in transit.
Common triggers include new emails, new or updated blog posts, or new drafts. Actions include creating posts, updating posts, and syncing related data like categories and authors. You can combine multiple triggers in a single Zap for complex workflows.
Most testers use a sandbox or small data set. Use Zapier test runs to simulate triggers, check API responses, and confirm post content appears correctly in the Blogs API. Adjust mappings and error handling based on test results.
Rate limits and error codes are defined in the API documentation. Monitor responses and implement retry logic with exponential backoff in your Zaps to handle temporary limits gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
