To use the Blogs API with Certifier, you’ll authenticate via a secure OAuth 2.0 flow and API keys. Ensure the connected app has the appropriate scope, typically including read and write access such as emails/builder.readonly.
Certifier authenticates calls to the Blogs API using the shared OAuth connection established in your Zapier account. Make sure Certifier’s integration is granted permission to read and write blog data.
Key endpoints you’ll use in this integration include: GET emails/builder, emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, blogs/post.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These endpoints support content creation, updates, schedule management, and metadata handling for your blog content in Blogs API.
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Certifier that should be published in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish the new article and populate title, content, author, slug, and metadata.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, category, tags
Trigger: Certifier detects a change needing to be reflected in an existing blog post.
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post’s content, title, or metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, tags
Trigger: Certifier updates categories or author data that should reflect in Blogs API.
Actions: Retrieve and align data using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep catalogs in sync.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Streamlined content management: create, update, and publish posts directly from Certifier within your Zapier workflows—no custom code required.
Centralized data flow: keep posts, schedules, authors, and categories in sync across Certifier and Blogs API with automated triggers and actions.
Reduced errors and faster publication cycles thanks to consistent metadata mapping and automated slug checks.
Understand the essential terms and processes so you can implement the Blogs API and Certifier integration quickly and confidently.
A defined set of endpoints and methods that enable two systems to communicate and exchange data programmatically.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to API resources, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to create readable, unique web addresses for blog posts.
An HTTP callback that allows one app to notify another when a particular event occurs, enabling real-time data synchronization.
Trigger a new blog post in Blogs API whenever Certifier detects a major event, such as policy update or certification completion, then publish automatically.
Use GET /blogs/authors to pull author data and store it in Certifier for richer author metadata in workflows and approvals.
Leverage blog categories to route content tasks in Certifier, ensuring posts align with the right teams and schedules.
In Zapier, create a connection between Certifier and Blogs API by authorizing both services and granting read/write permissions.
Select endpoints to monitor blog posts, publish new content, or update existing posts, mapping fields like title, content, slug, and author.
Run tests to verify data flow, fix any mapping issues, and deploy the workflow for ongoing automation.
The GHL Blogs API (Blogs API) is the backend that manages blog content, categories, and authors. Certifier connects to this API to automate content creation, updates, and validation within no-code workflows. The integration enables publishing and synchronization of posts without writing custom code. By using Zapier as the connector, non-developers can set up triggers, actions, and data mappings between Certifier and Blogs API.
Publishing blog posts typically uses the Blogs API endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You can also create email-related triggers with POST /emails/builder for notifications or templates, if your workflow requires email alerts when posts are published. The exact endpoints you use depend on whether you’re creating, updating, or syncing metadata for posts.
Authentication relies on a secure OAuth 2.0 flow and API keys. In Zapier, you’ll connect both Certifier and Blogs API, granting the minimum required scopes (read/write) to perform your intended operations. Regularly rotate credentials and keep access limited to the necessary endpoints to maintain security.
Yes. You can update a blog post via Certifier by invoking PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with updated content, title, slug, or metadata. Ensure the postId matches the post you want to modify and that the Certifier workflow passes the new values correctly.
Certifier can fetch categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. This allows you to enrich posts with category and author metadata in Certifier, and to reflect those changes in your publishing workflows.
Slug existence can be checked using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique, SEO-friendly URLs for new posts before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate slugs and improves content accuracy.
Yes. The no-code workflow benefits include rapid setup, visual mapping of fields, and automated data flows between Certifier and Blogs API. You can create, update, and publish content without writing code, reducing time-to-value and minimizing manual data entry.
