To access the Blogs API, obtain your GHL API credentials from the developer console and use the recommended authentication method for secure access.
Zapier secures the connection with OAuth2 or API tokens. Create a connection and authorize the Apps to access your GHL data.
Available endpoints include: GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET emails/builder.
Trigger: A new blog post item is created in Zapier and should be published to GHL as a post.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create a post; map fields like title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: A post is updated and needs to reflect changes in GHL.
Actions: Update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; verify slug changes with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; validate with GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: On-demand fetch pulls blog data into reports.
Actions: Retrieve authors with GET /blogs/authors, categories with GET /blogs/categories, and check slug info with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, categoryId, slug

Create a Zap that triggers on new CMS posts and uses POST /blogs/posts to publish in GHL.
Automatically mirror category changes to GHL categories via GET /blogs/categories and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Before publishing, check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust accordingly.
Generate a GHL API key or OAuth credentials and establish a Zapier connection using Zapier App Connector.
Select triggers like New Blog Post and actions like Create Post (POST /blogs/posts) and Update Post (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId).
Run tests in Zapier, verify slug checks, and deploy the workflow to production.
GHL provides a Blogs API that lets you manage posts, categories, and authors. Using the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger actions in Zapier when events occur in GHL and push data back to GHL without writing code. This enables automated publishing workflows, content updates, and cross-app data synchronization.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to configure triggers and actions that map to GHL endpoints. You may need basic API credential setup, but complex logic stays within the Zapier workflow.
For publishing posts, the POST /blogs/posts endpoint is ideal. Updates use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Slug checks can be performed with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These endpoints cover the core publishing and update workflow.
Slug availability can be checked using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent conflicts and preserves SEO-friendly URLs.
Yes. You can update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and use POST /blogs/post-update.write for post-specific changes. The Zapier builder can orchestrate multi-step updates across apps.
In Zapier, use the Test tab to run a sample trigger and action. Check the task history and API responses to verify successful connections and data mapping.
Refer to the GHL developer docs for endpoint references and authentication details. The Engineer-ready endpoint list above provides quick lookup for the most commonly used routes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
