Obtain a valid API key or OAuth token for the Blogs API with read/write scope. Store credentials securely in GHL connection settings.
In Zapier, add a new connection using the Blogs API credentials. Zapier will securely store and reuse these tokens to perform triggers and actions.
Key endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/authors; GET emails/schedule.
Trigger when a new email arrives in the Blogs Builder inbox (via GET emails/builder) or when content is ready to turn into a post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create a post; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category, authorId
Trigger: new or updated author in Blogs API (GET /blogs/authors).
Actions: Create or update author records in GHL contacts; pull author bios and social links.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio, avatar, socialLinks
Trigger: a post is scheduled for publish in Blogs API or via a schedule event.
Actions: Publish or reschedule posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; update status accordingly.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, publishDate, status, slug
Automate publishing workflows without writing code.
Synchronize authors, categories, and posts with a few clicks.
Schedule posts and trigger updates to your site, blog, or newsletter with reliable connectors.
This glossary explains API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and common workflows used in the Blogs API integration with GHL via the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to request or modify data in a service.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used to create readable links.
The process (API key or OAuth token) that proves you are authorized to access the API.
A time-limited token that grants access to perform API requests on behalf of a user or app.
Configure a Zap to pull top email highlights and create a digest post in Blogs API automatically.
When a new author is added in Blogs API, automatically update or create a contact in GHL with bio and socials.
Link post publish dates to campaign calendars and automatically publish at the right time.
In Zapier, create a connection using Blogs API credentials. Save securely and test the connection.
Select the endpoints you will use (blogs/posts, blogs/authors, emails/builder) and map fields like title, content, author, and date.
Run through end-to-end tests to ensure triggers fire correctly and actions create or update posts as expected.
No extensive coding is required. Use Zapier to connect the Blogs API with GHL via a secure connection, configure triggers like new posts or new emails, and map fields such as title and content. This setup is designed for no-code automation with clear endpoints. The dashboard provides test and run options to verify flow accuracy before going live.
Essential endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs, GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data, and GET /emails/builder to ingest content from emails. If you need to pull schedules, you can reference GET emails/schedule. You can enable or disable endpoints per flow as needed.
Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post to ensure uniqueness. You can also implement a slug generation strategy in the Zapier mapping step to maintain consistency across posts.
Yes. You can map author data from GET /blogs/authors to GHL contacts and synchronize categories via GET /blogs/categories. Schedule-based updates can be queued to keep content aligned with campaigns and taxonomy.
Security is handled via token-based authentication (API keys or OAuth tokens). Tokens are stored securely in the connector and transmitted over HTTPS. Rotate credentials regularly and limit scopes to the minimum required (read/write as needed).
If a publish fails, check the error response from PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/posts. The Zapier task can be configured to retry with backoff or alert your team via email or a Slack/Teams channel. Ensure required fields (title, content, slug) are provided in mappings.
Monitor the integration in Zapier task history and the GHL connection status. In addition, you can audit API responses in the Blogs API dashboard and set up error notifications for failed runs to respond quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
