Access to the Blogs API endpoints uses your GHL API key and appropriate scopes. For related endpoints, use the emails/builder.readonly scope and secure token exchange for production apps.
In Zapier, configure authentication to securely connect to GHL. Use OAuth 2.0 or API key methods, ensuring token refresh, scope alignment, and secure storage of credentials.
Core emails endpoints: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule. Blog endpoints: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. Auxiliary: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: A form submission or content cue triggers creation of a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Action: Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post, then optionally publish with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Endpoint: POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, status, category, authorId
Trigger: Post created or updated
Actions: Create a scheduled email campaign using POST /emails/builder/data and reference a template; set scheduleTime.
Endpoint: POST /emails/builder/data
campaignName, recipientList, templateId, scheduleTime
Trigger: New post draft
Actions: Sync authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories; map to post fields.
Endpoints: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories
authorId, authorName, categoryId, categoryName
Automate publishing, emailing, and metadata enrichment without writing code.
Map fields across blogs, emails, and scheduling in a single visual workflow.

Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and data fields that power your GHL-to-Zapier automation.
A specific URL that performs a defined operation on the Blogs API, such as creating a post or listing authors.
The URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title, used to create readable links and to check availability via the slug endpoint.
The standard authorization protocol used to grant secure API access and token refresh between GHL, Zapier App Connector, and the Blogs API.
The data sent with an API request or returned in a response, typically formatted as JSON.
Automatically generate a weekly digest from the latest posts and deliver it via email campaigns to subscribers.
Route author submissions from forms into blog drafts and author metadata in a single workflow.
Create drafts with slug checks and SEO-friendly meta fields before publishing.
Establish OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication between GHL and the Zapier App Connector and verify endpoint access.
Create trigger mappings for new posts, updates, and slug checks; connect actions to post creation and email campaigns.
Test end-to-end flows, handle errors gracefully, and deploy to production with monitoring.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog posts, authors, categories, and email campaigns. When connected through Zapier App Connector, you can automate post creation, updates, and notifications without code. This enables scalable content workflows and consistent publishing practices. Additionally, you can combine endpoints to trigger downstream actions like email campaigns or social updates, all within a visual workflow.
Key endpoints cover blogs and emails, including POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and POST /emails/builder/data. There are also ancillary endpoints for slug checks and email scheduling to support end-to-end content workflows. Explore endpoint groups to tailor automations to your content strategy.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys configured in the Zapier App Connector to securely authorize requests. Maintain scope alignment (for example, emails/builder.readonly) and rotate tokens regularly. Ensure your GHL developer console permits the connected app and implement proper error handling and token refresh logic.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before publishing. This helps prevent conflicts and ensures clean, SEO-friendly URLs. Incorporate a pre-publish check in your Zapier workflow to handle conflicts gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
