Use OAuth 2.0 with client credentials to authorize requests to the Blogs API via the Zapier App Connector. Keep keys secure and rotate regularly.
Zapier securely stores access tokens and handles refresh flows; use the test connection to validate credentials before going live.

Glossary for GHL, endpoints, auth, slug, and no-code automation used in this guide.
GHL API is the platform interface your Zapier App Connector uses to read and write data in Blogs and other modules within GHL.
OAuth 2.0 is the authorization framework used to grant temporary access tokens for API calls.
Slug is a URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs to help with SEO.
No-code automation means building workflows in Zapier App Connector without writing code.
Pull posts from Blogs API on Friday and email a digest via a templated email builder in Zapier.
When a post goes live, automatically publish snippets to LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook using Zapier actions.
If slug is missing or duplicate, generate a SEO-friendly slug and verify it via Blogs API, then retry publish.
In Zapier, authorize the Blogs API under the GHL connector and test the connection.
Choose a trigger like New Blog Post and map actions such as publish, update, or fetch data.
Run tests with sample data, then deploy and monitor logs for any errors.
The Blogs API is the Go-to interface for managing blog content within GHL via external tools. It enables Zapier App Connector to read, create, and update posts, authors, and categories. By authenticating with OAuth 2.0, you authorize Zapier to perform actions on your behalf in a secure, token-based manner. This pairing lets you automate content workflows without manual data handling.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that map to the Blogs API endpoints. You configure the flow with drag-and-drop steps, and use fields like title, content, slug, and metadata to move data between systems. If you are comfortable with basic API concepts, you’ll find this setup straightforward.
Essential endpoints typically include: GET /blogs/posts for listing posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, and GET /blogs/authors for author data. Depending on the workflow, you may also use GET emails/builder or POST emails/builder for ancillary content actions.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0. In Zapier, you’ll authorize the Blogs API connection once, then Zapier stores the access token and handles refreshing it when needed. Always test the connection in the app to confirm permissions and scopes are correct before going live.
Yes. The slug existence check endpoint helps prevent duplicate URLs. You can hook a check into your workflow before publishing; if the slug exists, you can generate a new slug and retry the publish step automatically.
Yes. It’s common to publish to multiple channels (blog, social, email) from a single trigger by using multiple actions in Zapier. You can branch actions to update different platforms with the same post data.
Zapier provides run history and error logs for each connection. You can view detailed task logs in the Zapier app, which helps diagnose API errors, authentication issues, or data mapping problems. Monitoring dashboards keep you informed as you deploy.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
