Use OAuth 2.0 or an API token issued in your GHL developer settings to securely access the Blogs API from Zapier. Grant only the scopes needed for blogging tasks to minimize risk.
Configure Zapier to securely store your GHL credentials and handle token refreshing automatically. The app will prompt you to authorize access during setup.
– GET emails/builder – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – GET emails/schedule – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors

Create end‑to‑end workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Instant data syncing between GHL and your content channels ensures up‑to‑date posts.
Scalable processes that empower marketing and content teams.
This glossary covers APIs, webhooks, slugs, and authentication concepts used in a GHL to Zapier integration for blogs.
An API is a defined set of rules that lets two software systems communicate and exchange data.
A webhook is a callback over HTTP that enables real‑time events to be pushed to Zapier.
A slug is a URL‑friendly identifier used in a blog post URL for readability and SEO.
OAuth is a secure authorization standard that lets third‑party apps access data without sharing passwords.
Trigger on draft creation in GHL to publish via POST /blogs/posts, keeping content teams aligned and timelines clear.
Link blog deadlines to Zapier tasks to publish on schedule and coordinate reviews with the Blogs API.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and enforce consistent SEO across posts.
Create API credentials in GHL, then add them to Zapier App Connector and test token refresh flows.
Select blog‑related triggers (new post, updated post) and actions (create, update, fetch) using the Blogs API endpoints.
Run end‑to‑end tests, review logs, and publish your Zapier workflow.
No. This is a no‑code integration designed for marketers and operations teams. Use the pre‑built triggers and actions to automate blog workflows without writing code. If you need custom logic, you can extend Zapier with scripting steps or use webhooks to ingest special data, but for most blog tasks the built‑in endpoints suffice.
At minimum, POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug validity. You may also need GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to assign metadata like category and author.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug. The API returns a boolean indicating availability; if taken, adjust the slug and retry.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/authors to pull author data and GET /blogs/categories to retrieve categories. Map these fields to your content in Zapier to streamline publication and attribution.
GHL requires an access token or OAuth credentials, and Zapier stores and refreshes them securely. Follow the setup screens to authorize the connection and limit scopes to the minimal permissions needed for publishing and reading posts.
Security is handled via OAuth or API tokens, encrypted storage, and least‑privilege access. Regular token rotation and audit logs help keep your integration safe.
Check Zapier task history and GHL API response messages in logs to identify where data is failing. Enable detailed logging in the Zapier app and review endpoint responses for fixes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
