The Blogs API + Bigin by Zoho CRM integration lets you automate blog-related actions from within your CRM. Create tasks, notes, or campaigns triggered by new posts, and map author or category data to CRM records. This makes team collaboration smoother and ensures your content-driven activities stay aligned with sales goals. You can also pull post data into CRM dashboards to monitor engagement and performance over time.
Endpoints available in this integration cover posts, categories, and authors, along with checks for slug existence. Typical flows include reading posts with GET /blogs/posts, creating posts with POST /blogs/posts, updating posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and verifying slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors to enrich CRM records.
Authentication uses OAuth for secure access. You’ll register the app, obtain client credentials, authorize the connection, and receive tokens that can be refreshed. Follow the standard OAuth flow to grant your Bigin by Zoho CRM the necessary scopes for blog operations. Keep tokens secure and implement token refresh logic to maintain a seamless connection.
No coding is required to set up the standard flows. The GHL connector provides point-and-click mapping of endpoints, triggers, and actions. You can configure data mappings, test requests, and monitor results without writing code.
Map blog fields to CRM fields by aligning postTitle to a CRM contact or lead title field, postDate to a date field, authorId to a related contact, and categoryId to a category lookup. Use slug and URL data to build friendly references. Maintain consistent field types and validation rules.
Yes. The slug check endpoint ensures you don’t create duplicate posts. Check for existing slugs before creation, then decide to update or skip based on the result. This protects your content and keeps URLs unique.
Test the integration using a sandbox or staging environment if available. Run end-to-end tests of your triggered workflows, validate field mappings, and confirm data sync between Blogs API and Bigin by Zoho CRM before going live.
