The Blogs API provides programmatic access to create, read, update and publish blog content. With the Zapier App Connector you can automate publishing workflows without writing code. Use triggers to capture new drafts or updates and actions to push changes back into the Blogs API.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to manage taxonomy. You can combine these with scheduling and email data as needed.
Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth issued by the GHL developer portal. In Zapier you store these credentials in a dedicated connection. Each request to the Blogs API includes your authentication token, ensuring secure access.
Yes. You can create or update categories and authors via endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and related write operations. This helps keep your blog taxonomy synchronized with your content workflow.
Slug uniqueness is important for SEO and user friendly URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before publishing and adjust as needed to avoid duplicates.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Plan accordingly and implement retries with exponential backoff in your Zapier workflows to maintain reliability during peak usage.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and the Zapier App Connector docs. The docs cover endpoints, authentication, rate limits, and example workflows.
