To begin, generate an API key for the Blogs API in GHL and grant the Zapier App Connector permission to access emails, blog posts, categories, and authors.
In Zapier, authorize the App Connector to access your GHL Blogs API account by logging in and approving the requested scopes.

This glossary defines API, endpoints, OAuth, and common terms used to connect GHL Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of endpoints that allow software services to communicate and exchange data.
A secure authorization framework that lets apps access user data without sharing passwords.
A URL friendly version of a title used in links and slugs.
A specific URL path that exposes a resource in an API.
Automatically generate a newsletter draft in Emails Builder when a blog post is published and schedule it for send.
Push blog summaries to Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook using Zapier actions linked to the Blogs API.
Use endpoints to keep posts updated and notify teams via email or chat apps.
In GHL, create an API key for Blogs API and authorize Zapier App Connector to access the scopes emails, blogs and categories.
Set up triggers like new blog post, updated post, new category or author; map fields to Zapier actions.
Run tests in Zapier, verify data flows to emails and blogs, then go live.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints that let you manage blog posts, categories, authors, and related email content. When connected to the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger actions in Zapier based on blog events and push updates back to emails or posts. This enables automated newsletters and content distribution without manual steps. Start by obtaining your Blogs API key from GHL and linking the app connector in Zapier to begin mapping triggers and actions.
Common workflows rely on endpoints for creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and managing email content (GET/POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data). You can also pull categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) to enrich automation. Map these fields in Zapier to ensure data flows smoothly between your blog and email systems.
No coding is required for most standard automations. Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder where you select triggers and actions and map fields between Blogs API and emails. If you need highly customized logic, you can extend with conditional steps, but the majority of use cases are achievable without writing code.
Authentication uses OAuth and API keys. Generate a Blogs API key in GHL with the required scopes, then connect the key in Zapier. When you authorize, you grant access to endpoints for emails, blogs, categories, and authors. Rotate keys periodically and monitor app connections in both platforms.
Yes. You can update existing blog posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and adjust related email content. Changes in the blog post can trigger corresponding updates in newsletter drafts or scheduled emails, keeping your distribution aligned with the latest content.
API rate limits and quotas depend on your GHL plan. In practice, typical workflows using blogs and emails stay well within limits for small to mid-size sites. For high-volume needs, consider batching updates and scheduling actions to avoid hits to rate limits.
API keys and webhooks are managed in your GHL and Zapier accounts. In GHL, generate a Blogs API key and enable the scopes you need. In Zapier, connect the app and review the connected accounts and permissions. Regularly review and rotate keys to maintain security.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
