Choose a secure authentication method supported by the GHL API such as OAuth 2.0 or a dedicated API key, and store credentials securely in the connector.
In Zapier, authorize the Blogs API connection by following prompts to grant access to the chosen account. Use scoped permissions aligned with your workflows.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger a new blog post creation event when a draft is published in the Blogs API using the endpoint POST /blogs/posts.
Create an automation in Zapier that maps title, content, author, and slug to the target post fields and publishes automatically to your channel or CMS.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, slug
Trigger when an existing post is updated via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Map updated fields back to your CMS or distribution channel and trigger downstream actions like re-publishing or notifying teams.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Retrieve lists of categories and authors to help auto-populate metadata for new posts.
Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate drop downs and automatically assign metadata during post creation.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Build automated blog workflows without writing a line of code using prebuilt actions and triggers.
Rapidly prototype publishing pipelines and update processes across teams with shareable Zapier automations.
Scale content operations by reusing the same automations across multiple blogs and channels.
Key terms and processes you’ll encounter when linking the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of rules that lets two software programs communicate with each other.
A specific URL on an API that performs a defined action or returns data.
A widely used authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access to user accounts without sharing credentials.
A URL friendly string used to identify a resource such as a blog post in URLs.
Set up a workflow that converts incoming email drafts into blog posts using POST /blogs/posts.
Automatically push newly created blogs to your CMS via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Validate slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.
In the APPNAME panel, authorize access to Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 or API key and save the credentials.
Define how title, content, slug and metadata map to the endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Run a test to ensure posts are created and updated correctly, then enable the automation for live use.
You will typically need an API key or OAuth credentials from Blogs API and access to APPNAME in Zapier. Store these securely in the connector settings. Then map the required fields such as title and content to your post creation step. This keeps your automation aligned with your publishing flow. In most cases you will also configure triggers to respond to new drafts or updated posts.
In Zapier create a workflow that uses the Blogs API create post action. Provide the post title, body, slug, and author fields. Once triggered, the automation will publish the post via POST /blogs/posts and can push updates to your distribution channels.
Yes. Use the update endpoint PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify title or content. Map this to a Zapier action so edits in one system reflect across all connected platforms in real time.
Use the check slug endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. This helps avoid duplicate URLs and preserves SEO.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creation, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/categories for taxonomy, and GET /blogs/authors for author data. These cover the core publishing workflow and metadata management.
No coding is required for basic automations. The Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to map fields and set up triggers and actions. For more complex logic you can add filters and paths within Zapier.
If something fails, check the Zapier task history for error messages and verify your API credentials. Also review the endpoint path accuracy and ensure required fields are provided in the action steps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
