Begin by obtaining API credentials in the Blogs API developer portal, then securely connect them to the Zapier App Connector using OAuth 2.0 where supported.
In Zapier, configure OAuth 2.0 or API key flow to authorize access to Blogs API, keeping credentials secure and rotating them as needed.
GET emails/builder — fetch email templates and builders; POST emails/builder — create a new email template; POST /emails/builder/data — attach data to a template; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId — remove a template; emails/schedule.readonly — read-only scheduling access; GET emails/schedule — list schedules; blogs/post.write — write access to blog posts; POST /blogs/posts — create a blog post; blogs/post-update.write — update blog posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — update a specific post; blogs/check-slug.readonly — check slug availability; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — verify slug existence; blogs/category.readonly — read access to categories; GET /blogs/categories — list categories; blogs/author.readonly — read access to authors; GET /blogs/authors — list authors
Trigger: A new or updated email template is created in Blogs API, initiating a related blog workflow.
Actions: Use emails/builder endpoints to create or update templates and pull data with /emails/builder/data to feed content into blog posts.
GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder to manage templates; use /emails/builder/data to supply content.
key fields: templateId, locationId, subject, body, data
Trigger: New email content converts into a draft blog post.
Actions: Create blog posts via POST /blogs/posts; update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; map title, content, slug, and author.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categories
Trigger: Scheduled updates or metadata changes for existing posts.
Actions: Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts, then PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to adjust metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, status
Automate repetitive publishing tasks without writing code, freeing time for strategy and optimization.
Synchronize emails and blog content across channels in minutes, not days.
Gain centralized visibility with automated workflows, error reduction, and real-time updates.
This glossary explains core terms and the main processes used to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
API stands for Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that allows apps to communicate securely and efficiently.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in the article URL.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function when called.
A callback URL that gets triggered by events to notify your app of changes or actions.
Trigger blog post creation from specific email cues and publish via blogs/posts to automate content flow.
Publish announcements as blog posts when email campaigns go live, updating slugs as needed.
Assign posts to authors automatically using the blogs/authors endpoint data and category mappings.
Obtain credentials and authorize the connection between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Map API endpoints to Zapier actions and triggers, and set required fields.
Run tests, verify data synchronization, and enable automation in production.
The Blogs API integration provides endpoints for emails templates and builders (GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data) and scheduling (GET emails/schedule, READONLY access). For blogs, you can create and update posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), check slug availability (blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrieve categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/authors).
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code bridge to connect Blogs API endpoints to triggers and actions. You configure the app within Zapier, map fields, and test flows without writing code.
Authentication is handled through OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on the setup. In Zapier, you’ll authorize the app to access Blogs API, store tokens securely, and refresh them as needed. Follow the provider’s guide to configure credentials and scopes.
Yes. You can create a single Zap that uses email templates to trigger blog-related actions and vice versa. For example, a new email template could trigger a new blog post, or an updated post could notify subscribers via email.
Rate limits depend on your GHL account and API plan. Plan for bursts during mass publishing and implement retries with exponential backoff to avoid throttling. Use webhooks where appropriate to minimize polling.
Use the slug-exists endpoint (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to check for slug collisions before creating or updating a post. This helps ensure unique URLs and prevents duplicates.
Endpoints that create or update content include POST /blogs/posts (create) and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update), as well as POST /emails/builder and PUT /emails/builder/:templateId when working with email templates. Slug checks and related metadata use blogs/check-slug.readonly and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
