Authenticate with your Blogs API credentials and securely store the API key or OAuth token to authorize requests from the Zapier App Connector.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to access beehiiv data by granting the required scopes and generating an access token for seamless data flow.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability; GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data; GET /blogs/categories to fetch taxonomy; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts; GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts.
Trigger: New or updated post in your source app automatically creates a beehiiv post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: map title, content, slug, authorId, and tags; optionally set publish date and status.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, tags, publishDate, status
Trigger: before publish, verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: if slug exists, create a new slug suggestion or update the draft; otherwise proceed to publish.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Trigger: when drafting, fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts.
Actions: map authorId and categoryId; set defaults if missing; include tags for better discovery.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId, tags
Automate blog publishing with clicks—no custom coding required.
Keep posts in sync across beehiiv and your content sources, reducing duplication.
Leverage triggers and actions to enforce your publishing workflow consistently.
Learn the core terms—API, endpoint, trigger, action, and data mapping—and how they flow between the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A defined set of rules and protocols that lets apps communicate and share data.
A specific URL and method that performs a function in an API.
An event in one app that starts an automation in another.
A task executed by an automation in response to a trigger.
Create a Zap that publishes to beehiiv whenever new content is created in your CMS, with auto-mapped fields.
Sync edits from your CMS to beehiiv posts using the PUT endpoint to maintain consistency.
Map authors and categories to beehiiv fields to improve searchability and relevance.
Generate and securely store access tokens for both apps and grant the necessary scopes.
Choose required endpoints and map fields between your source data and beehiiv.
Run tests to verify data flow and deploy your automation to production.
A GHL API endpoint is a specific URL and HTTP method that lets you perform an action or retrieve data from GHL services. Endpoints are the building blocks for automations, such as creating, updating, or listing posts, authors, or categories. In Zapier, endpoints are the targets your workflow calls to move data between Beehiiv and GHL. Understanding the exact endpoint path and required parameters is essential for accurate data mapping.
No heavy coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector with the Blogs API. You can create powerful automations using triggers, actions, and field mappings. For advanced custom needs, you may reference endpoint details and adjust mappings. If you need deeper customization, a developer can expose additional fields or create bespoke triggers.
For basic post publishing, you primarily need endpoints to create posts and check slug availability: POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, plus endpoints to fetch authors and categories (GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories) for proper metadata. You can start with these and expand as your workflow grows.
Yes. You can validate a slug before publishing by calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug already exists, you can generate a new slug or prompt for a change. This helps prevent duplicate posts and preserves clean URLs in beehiiv.
Authentication typically involves obtaining access tokens or API keys for both the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. Store credentials securely and apply the necessary scopes (including read/write permissions for posts and related resources). Rotate credentials periodically and follow best practices for secret management.
Scheduling of Beehiiv posts can be achieved by including a publishDate field in the post payload or by using workflow steps that delay actions until a specified time. Depending on your Beehiiv plan and API capabilities, you can orchestrate timed publishes via Zapier delays or built-in scheduling features in the API.
API rate limits vary by provider and plan. Check the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector documentation for current throttling policies. If you hit limits, optimize by batching requests, caching responses, and staggering trigger intervals. Consider upgrading plans if high-volume automation is required.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
