Access to Blogs API is secured via OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly. This ensures only approved workflows can read blog data while keeping your content safe.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize the Blogs API connection on behalf of your account. After you grant access, your automations can run seamlessly.

Trigger: A new blog draft appears in Blogs API
Actions: Publish posts via POST /blogs/posts, populate metadata with POST /emails/builder/data, and update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: Post data changes in source or a scheduled sync
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; optionally POST /blogs/post-update.write for post-level updates
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger: Category or author metadata changes
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep local data in sync; optionally fetch authors via /blogs/authors

categoryId, name; authorId, name
Build powerful automations without writing a line of code.
Automate publishing, updating, and categorization to save time.
Test, deploy, and iterate with minimal maintenance.
This glossary explains core terms used throughout the guide and defines how the GHL API and Zapier App Connector work together.
Application Programming Interface (API): a set of rules and protocols that lets software applications communicate.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework enabling third-party apps to access user data securely without sharing passwords.
Slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used in web addresses.
Endpoint is a specific URL at which an API can be accessed to perform a function.
Trigger a publish as soon as a campaign creates a new article draft in Blogs API.
Push newly published posts to an email list via the Emails API to drive reader engagement.
Automatically adjust slugs and metadata when posts are updated to preserve SEO rankings.
In Zapier, choose the Blogs API app and authorize access using OAuth 2.0.
Select endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories to build your workflow.
Run tests in Zapier to verify end-to-end automation, then switch to live mode.
This integration supports endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to manage content and metadata. You can also leverage additional endpoints for workflows like data population and post updates. The exact endpoints you use will depend on your automation goals.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly for read access or broader scopes as needed for write operations. In Zapier, you authorize once and your workflows run securely without storing passwords.
Yes. You can update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, including changing titles, content, slugs, and metadata. This lets you keep published content current.
Use GET /blogs/categories to retrieve category lists and GET /blogs/authors to fetch author details. These help you assign correct categories and author metadata when creating or updating posts.
No coding is required to build automations in Zapier. The app connects the GHL Blogs API endpoints through a visual workflow builder, and you can customize triggers, actions, and filters.
Rate limits depend on your GHL account and endpoint usage. If you exceed limits, Zapier will retry and you can optimize by batching requests.
Yes. You can connect multiple Blogs API accounts to Zapier by configuring separate connections for each account within the Zapier app settings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
