To begin, obtain an access token for the Blogs API with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) so Zapier can read blog data and publish actions through GHL.
In Zapier, securely connect the Blogs API app, grant access to the needed endpoints, and configure authentication so data flows safely between Zapier and GHL.
GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a new or updated post exists in Blogs API, start a publish flow in GHL via Zapier.
Actions: create or update a post in Blogs API; update slug; notify via Email Builder when the post is live.
Uses POST /blogs/posts to publish and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: a draft is created or updated in Blogs API and needs scheduling for publishing.
Actions: schedule publish date, update post status, and push reminders through GHL.
Involves PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure accuracy.
postId, publishDate, status
Trigger: updates to authors or categories in Blogs API.
Actions: fetch authors (GET /blogs/authors) and categories (GET /blogs/categories) and sync with GHL.
Uses GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to pull data.
authorId, name, bio; categoryId, name
Build complex blog automation without writing code, connecting posts, authors, and categories across apps.
Test, iterate, and deploy publishing workflows in minutes with templates and triggers.
Centralized, no-code automations run inside GHL and Zapier for consistent marketing data.
This glossary explains endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and how data flows between Blogs API, Zapier App Connector, and GHL.
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 form the post URL.
Credentials or tokens that grant access to an API.
An event that starts an automation in a workflow.
Automatically publish new posts from Blogs API and send a notification via Email Builder when live.
Push blog updates to connected social profiles through GHL using Zapier triggers.
Create a transparent log of all blog-related automations for auditing and performance metrics.
Authenticate the Blogs API in Zapier and connect it to GHL in the App Connector.
Configure mappings for posts, authors, and categories to align with GHL fields.
Run tests, verify data flows, and push to production once green.
You’ll need an OAuth or API key setup that includes access to the Blogs API with the appropriate scope (such as emails/builder.readonly) so Zapier can read posts and manage publication. Ensure your Zapier app is authorized to call the Blogs API endpoints used in your flows. After authorization, you can start mapping triggers and actions between Blogs API and GHL. In case of token expiration, refresh tokens promptly to maintain uninterrupted automation.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish content and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. For supporting email notifications, you’ll access GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data. These endpoints form the core publish and metadata flow.
Yes. You can pull author and category lists using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map them into GHL records or custom fields. Regular synchronization can be scheduled via Zapier to keep GHL data aligned with Blogs API.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent duplicate posts and ensures clean URLs across your content library.
No coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code automation within Zapier App Connector and GHL, using triggers, actions, and field mappings to move data between Blogs API and GHL.
Security is managed via OAuth or API keys with scoped access. Data flows are encrypted, and you can limit permissions to only the endpoints you need. Regular reviews of credentials and scopes are recommended for ongoing security.
