Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 tokens scoped to emails/builder.readonly for read access. Keep credentials secure and rotate tokens regularly to maintain uninterrupted access.
To enable the integration, authorize Zapier to access your Blogs API account. This typically involves granting OAuth consent or providing an API key as configured in your GHL developer app.
– GET emails/builder (read) – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – GET emails/schedule – GET emails/schedule.readonly – GET blogs/posts – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – POST /blogs/post-update – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/post.write – GET /blogs/post.update.write – GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new email template is created or an existing template is updated in the Emails Builder.
Actions: create, update, delete templates; schedule emails via the emails/schedule endpoint.
GET emails/builder
locationId, templateId
Trigger: a new post is created or an existing post is updated in the Blogs area.
Actions: create, update, fetch posts; update posts with new content.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: post slug exists check and publish events.
Actions: verify slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, update slug and publish status.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, slug, status
Automate repetitive blogging and CMS tasks without writing a line of code.
Accelerate content publishing by triggering flows on events across apps.
Maintain data consistency with centralized mapping between endpoints and actions.
Key elements include endpoints, resources, parameters, and the data flow between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. Understanding mappings helps build reliable automations.
A distinct URL path in the API that performs an action or returns data, such as GET emails/builder.
An authorization framework that grants access to APIs without exposing user credentials by issuing tokens.
A URL-friendly identifier used in post URLs for routing and SEO.
A URL endpoint that receives real-time data pushed from an API when events occur.
Link your content calendar to trigger new draft posts in Blogs API via Zapier to maintain publishing cadence.
When an email template changes in Emails Builder, push updates to related campaigns automatically.
Analyze post content to auto-assign slug and category during post creation via Blogs API.
Create a GHL developer app and authorize Zapier to access the APIs you need.
Choose endpoints such as emails/builder and blogs endpoints and set required scopes like emails/builder.readonly.
Run a test connection, verify data flow, and deploy your automation.
You do not need to write code for basic integrations. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect Blogs API endpoints. For advanced workflows, a light amount of configuration in the Zapier editor is typically enough. If you are building complex logic, some scripting within Zapier paths can help, but it is not required for standard tasks. Leverage prebuilt templates and the endpoint catalog to rapidly assemble automated flows between Blogs API and Canopy.
For Canopy workflows, the most useful endpoints are the Blogs posts endpoints (create, update, fetch) and the slug existence check. The Emails Builder endpoints are great for coordinating email templates with posts. The combination of GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId helps prevent duplicates and keep content consistent across channels.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 tokens tied to your GHL app. You grant Zapier access once, then token renewals occur automatically. Keep credentials secure and monitor token lifecycles. If you are using API keys, store them in a secure vault and rotate periodically.
Yes. You can update blog posts from Zapier by calling PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the updated content. Changes propagate to Canopy workflows that rely on post data. Ensure slug, title, and content fields are included in the payload for reliable updates.
The slug existence check helps prevent duplicates. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a post to verify uniqueness. If the slug already exists, you can modify it or update the existing post accordingly.
Webhooks are supported for real-time data delivery where available. You can configure webhooks to notify Zapier of new posts, edits, or template changes, enabling near-instant automation across Canopy and related apps.
Explore the official docs for Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. You can also access the learning center within your GHL developer portal and the Canopy automation templates to kickstart your projects.
