Authenticate the Blogs API within GHL by generating an API key or using OAuth credentials, then securely store tokens in the Zapier App Connector.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account by selecting the Blogs API app, providing credentials, and validating the connection.

No-code automation: automate blog workflows without writing code.
Fast integration: connect CMS, Blogs API, and GHL in minutes.
Scalable posting and updating: schedule and publish automatically.
Key elements and processes described below help you map data between CMS, Blogs API, and GHL using the Zapier App Connector.
API (Application Programming Interface) enables machines to talk to each other by requesting and exchanging data.
An API endpoint is a specific URL where a program can access resources or perform an action.
A trigger starts an automation when a specified event occurs.
An action is the task performed after a trigger fires.
Create a blog post in Blogs API whenever a new draft is published in your CMS, including title, excerpt, and tags.
Schedule posts to publish at optimal times using the Blogs API.
Keep title, slug, and meta description synced with SEO recommendations via the Blogs API.
Identify the required Blogs API endpoints (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and ensure API keys are available.
In Zapier, set up a trigger (e.g., New draft; slug exists) and actions (create or update post) using the endpoints.
Run tests, verify data mapping, and enable live automation.
The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to manage blog content, authors, categories, and more. You can create, update, delete, and fetch blog posts as part of your automation stack. This allows you to programmatically publish and manage blog content from your CMS or other apps connected via Zapier. Two: Use the Blogs API to automate content workflows without writing code, keeping your publishing pipeline consistent across tools.
Authentication for the Blogs API in GHL can be handled via API keys or OAuth credentials, depending on your setup. In Zapier, securely store tokens and rotate keys as needed. Two: Always test the connection after saving credentials to confirm that endpoints respond correctly.
Endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId enable creating and updating content directly from Zapier. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. Two: Use category and author endpoints to assign metadata during automation.
Yes. You can schedule posts using the Blogs API’s endpoints for publishing at specific times or via a separate scheduling endpoint. Two: In Zapier, create a workflow that triggers on a time-based or event-based event and uses the schedule endpoint to publish.
Start by validating credentials in Zapier and testing the trigger and action steps with sample data. Two: Check the API responses for status codes and error messages, then adjust field mappings as needed.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; monitor response headers and implement backoff strategies in Zapier to avoid failures. Two: If you hit limits, stagger requests or batch operations where possible.
Common errors include authentication failures, missing required fields, and invalid slug values. Two: Review credentials, ensure required fields are provided, and validate slug uniqueness before creating posts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
