To access the Blogs API, generate an API key or OAuth token from your GHL account and securely store it in Zapier. Use these credentials to authorize requests to endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST blogs/posts, ensuring your data remains protected.
The Zapier App Connector authenticates using OAuth 2.0 with the GHL API or API keys as configured. Make sure the connection includes the scope emails/builder.readonly to read information as required.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, trigger the Emails Builder workflow in Zapier.
Create or update email drafts, then queue delivery or schedule.
GET emails/builder
locationId, templateId
Use the emails/schedule endpoint to pull scheduled posts and push them to subscribers.
Publish or queue posts to blogs with schedule updates.
GET emails/schedule
scheduleId, postId
Before publishing, check slug availability to avoid duplicates using the slug endpoint.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Fast setup with pre-built triggers and actions, no coding required.

A URL-friendly version of a post title used in pretty URLs.
Create a Zap that publishes a new blog post and automatically sends a sequence of emails via the Emails Builder to subscribers.
Aggregate weekly posts and distribute a digest to readers using the schedule endpoint.
Validate slug availability before publishing and auto-correct to a clean URL.
Obtain API keys or OAuth tokens and configure scopes (including emails/builder.readonly) to grant Zapier access.
Add and test endpoints such as GET emails/builder and GET emails/schedule to your Zapier connection.
Run end-to-end tests, validate triggers and actions, then deploy automation to production.
The Blogs API integration scope defines what data Zapier can access, such as emails and schedules. The scope ’emails/builder.readonly’ allows reading but not writing. You’ll manage authentication via API keys or OAuth in the GHL account and connect that credential to Zapier’s app connector to enable triggers (e.g., new blog posts) and actions (e.g., send emails).
A developer account is not strictly required for basic read-only actions; however, for full write access or creating apps you may need API credentials. The Zapier connection uses OAuth or API keys; ensure you have the required permissions and scopes.
Endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists allow creating posts, updating, and ensuring unique slugs. Refer to docs and test in a sandbox before production.
Yes, using the emails/schedule and blogs/posts endpoints you can publish and schedule posts. Zapier can trigger at scheduled times to post and notify subscribers.
Use OAuth 2.0 where possible and store tokens securely. Rotate keys regularly and restrict scopes to minimum necessary.
If a trigger doesn’t fire, check authentication, endpoint availability, and scope. Use test mode in Zapier to verify responses and error codes.
Setup time varies by familiarity; most teams complete in a few hours to a couple days. Start with one simple workflow and progressively add complexity.
