To begin, generate API credentials for Blogs API in GHL and store them securely. Use OAuth where available and keep tokens rotated for best security.
Connect Zapier App Connector to GHL by granting the requested permissions, enabling triggers and actions between APPNAME and Blogs API.

No code is required for standard workflows. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to connect Blogs API endpoints with APPNAME triggers and actions. If advanced scenarios arise, you can still customize fields and mappings in the integration settings. Always start with a sandbox test to validate behavior before going live.
Publishing typically uses POST /blogs/posts to create new posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing ones. slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help prevent duplicates. Additional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors may be used to enrich posts with metadata.
Yes. You can set a published date when creating or updating posts via the Blogs API. Use the publishedDate field or equivalent in the API payload and align it with APPNAME’s content calendar in your workflow.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth where supported. Rotate credentials regularly and use scoped access. Ensure webhook endpoints are secured and verify request signatures where available.
Yes. Use the blogs/authors endpoint to fetch and map author data from GHL to APPNAME, and assign authors to posts during creation or updates as needed.
Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the updated content. If you need slug changes, check with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists first to prevent duplicates, and then publish the updated post.
