To access the Blogs API from Zapier App Connector, use your chosen auth method (OAuth 2.0 with scopes such as emails/builder.readonly) and securely store tokens in Zapier.
Zapier App Connector authentication methods include OAuth2 and API Key depending on the Blogs API setup. Configure in your Zapier app to securely connect.

A quick glossary of terms used in this guide: GHL API, APPNAME, endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields.
The GHL API is the programmatic interface that exposes resources for managing posts, emails, workflows, and more within Blogs API and the Zapier integration.
Zapier App Connector: The integration layer that connects GHL to other apps and automates data flows without code.
A URL path and HTTP method used to access a specific resource in an API.
An event in one app that starts an automation in another app.
Whenever you publish a new blog post, automatically compose a summary and send it to your email sequence.
Create social media post drafts in your CMS or social scheduler.
Publish a weekly digest to a Slack channel.
Request OAuth2 credentials from the Blogs API developer portal and authorize your Zapier app.
Define a trigger like ‘New Blog Post’ and test the connection.
Create actions to publish, update, and distribute content across channels.
No coding required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no‑code UI to authenticate and map data between Blogs API and your apps. You can set up triggers, actions, and data mappings without writing code. The UI guides you through connecting credentials and testing flows before going live. Once connected, you can reuse the same connection across multiple Zaps, ensuring consistency and faster automation.
We support OAuth2 and API Key methods. Choose the method your Blogs API setup requires and configure in Zapier. For OAuth2, you’ll authorize access with your Blogs API account; for API Key, you’ll supply the key in the header. Both approaches secure communications between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
For posting blogs, use the blogs/post.write or POST /blogs/posts endpoints, plus slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. To publish updates, use blogs/post-update.write and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. The email templates are managed with GET/POST/DELETE /emails/builder as needed.
Yes. You can manage email templates through the email builder endpoints such as GET, POST, and DELETE /emails/builder. This lets you create templates, populate content, and remove outdated templates directly from Zapier workflows.
Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug to verify availability. If the slug is already in use, adjust the title or slug to create a unique URL for the post.
Check the Blogs API docs for rate limit headers and implement backoff strategies. Monitor responses and gracefully handle 429s to maintain reliable automations without hitting limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
