Authenticate to the Blogs API using your API key or OAuth credentials. Ensure your app has the required scopes, such as emails/builder.readonly for read operations and the corresponding write scopes for creating or updating blogs.
In Zapier, set up OAuth or API credentials for the Zapier App Connector so that requests to the Blogs API are authorized and securely stored.

Set up OAuth or API keys in Zapier to grant Blog API access and verify the scope.
Choose the endpoints you will use (for example GET blogs/posts, POST blogs/posts) and map fields like title, content, and slug.
Create triggers and actions in Zapier to automate publishing, updating, and emailing.
To connect, set up credentials in the Zapier App Connector and authorize the Blogs API. Use the appropriate scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly for reading data and additional write scopes for creating or updating posts). This ensures your automation can access the resources it needs. In addition, perform a quick test to confirm the connection is working before building workflows.
Commonly used endpoints include GET blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Access to categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors) helps enrich posts with metadata. Test each endpoint to confirm data shapes align with your Zapier mappings.
OAuth is the recommended approach for long-term automation, providing secure, token-based access. API keys can be used for quick tests or development, but rotate keys regularly and store them securely in Zapier credentials.
Map fields such as title, content, slug, and metadata in Zapier to the corresponding fields in Blogs API. Use sample data in testing to verify field alignment and ensure date formats, categories, and author IDs line up correctly.
Yes. You can schedule posts after creation using the Blogs API. Combine with Zapier’s Schedule tool to publish at a future date, or trigger scheduling based on your content calendar.
Slug existence can be checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Performing this check helps avoid duplicates and improves SEO by ensuring clean, unique URLs. Use the results to conditionally create or update posts.
The endpoints list is updated as the API evolves. Always refer to your GHL account API docs for the latest available endpoints. If you need a new endpoint, you can often achieve the same with POST/PUT requests and proper data mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
