Connect securely using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys supported by the Blogs API. In Zapier, store credentials in a protected connection and test calls to verify access.
Set up a dedicated connection in the Zapier App Connector to securely hold your GHL credentials, with automatic token refresh and per-connection access controls.
– GET emails/builder — read email templates – GET emails/builder.write — write access to email templates – POST emails/builder — create a new email template – POST /emails/builder/data — import or update email data for templates – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId — delete a specific template by location and ID – emails/schedule.readonly — read-only access to scheduling – GET emails/schedule — retrieve schedule details – blogs/post.write — write access to blog posts – POST /blogs/posts — create a blog post – blogs/post-update.write — update blog posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — update a post by postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly — read slug information – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — check slug existence – blogs/category.readonly — read categories – GET /blogs/categories — get categories – blogs/author.readonly — read authors – GET /blogs/authors — get authors
When a new post is published in Blogs API, trigger a Zapier workflow to propagate details to other apps or channels.
Actions include creating a corresponding record, updating related systems, or publishing summaries to your channels.
Methods and paths commonly used: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, slug, content, author, status, publish_date.
Changes to email templates in Blogs API trigger updates in Zapier for downstream automations.
Actions include updating template content in connected apps and triggering re-renders.
POST /emails/builder and PUT /emails/builder/:templateId for create and update
templateId, locationId, subject, body, last_modified
On post publish, route content to Slack, CRM notes, or social channels.
Actions include posting summaries, creating records in a CRM, or scheduling social posts.
POST /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts/:postId/share
postId, title, excerpt, url, channels
Build powerful automations without writing code, using ready-made triggers and actions.
Centralize data flows across endpoints with mapped fields and consistent schemas.
Rapid testing, debugging, and deployment through visual workflow tools.
This section defines core terms and processes used in the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration, including endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and error handling.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It allows two systems to talk to each other and exchange data.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that grants access to resources without sharing credentials, using access tokens.
An API endpoint is a specific URL path you call to perform an action or retrieve data.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier used in blog post or category URLs.
When a new post appears in Blogs API, automatically share the link to Slack, Twitter, or LinkedIn via Zapier.
Schedule daily exports of posts to Google Drive or Dropbox to keep an accessible archive.
Notify the team in Slack when a post moves from draft to published or when status changes.
Add a new connection, choose Blogs API as the service, and provide credentials. Save securely.
Use the endpoint list to map input and output fields between Blogs API and Zapier.
Run tests in Zapier to confirm data flows correctly, then deploy to production.
No coding is required for basic integrations with Zapier App Connector. You can connect the Blogs API using prebuilt actions and triggers, then map fields visually. If you need complex logic, Zapier supports multi-step flows and filters without writing code. For security, use protected connections and follow best practices for credential management.
The Blogs API supports OAuth 2.0 and API key based authentication. In Zapier, you can set up a connection that securely stores tokens and automatically refreshes them. If your organization requires additional security, implement IP whitelisting and scope restrictions where available.
Essential endpoints depend on your workflow. For content creation, use POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. For reading templates and schedules, you may rely on GET emails/builder and GET emails/schedule. Start with a small subset to validate data shapes before scaling.
Zapier will respect API rate limits configured by the Blogs API. You can implement delays between requests, batch operations where supported, and use built-in retry logic to handle transient errors without overwhelming the API.
Use Zapier’s built-in error handling and step-level retries. Ensure you log or alert on failures, and design idempotent actions where possible to avoid duplicate results. For API errors, implement exponential backoff strategies in your workflows.
Yes. Field mapping can be saved and reused across workflows by creating templates for input and output schemas. This reduces setup time for new automations and helps maintain consistency across your processes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
