Authenticate the Blogs API within Zapier using OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly to view and manage email builder resources.
Connect Zapier to GHL by creating an app credential set and securely storing the client ID, client secret, and redirect URI. Use OAuth 2.0 where supported for secure access.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify identifiers and manage content.
Trigger: a request to fetch email builder data via GET emails/builder.
Actions: fetch builder details, list templates, and pull builder metadata.
GET /emails/builder
id, name, status, updatedAt
Trigger when creating or updating a builder through Zapier.
Actions: create or update a builder, save templates.
POST /emails/builder
builderId, templateId, content
Trigger when a builder or template is removed.
Actions: delete template, remove builder references.
DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId
locationId, templateId
No coding required to connect GHL endpoints to your automations.
Automate content workflows, like pulling blog posts into a publishing calendar.
Fast prototyping and testing with ready-made endpoints.
A glossary of API terms and common processes used when connecting GHL with the App Connector, plus practical steps to implement quickly.
A specific URL you call to perform an action in the API.
A friendly, URL-safe identifier used to locate a specific blog post in the system.
An authorization framework that grants apps access to user data with tokens, without sharing passwords.
An HTTP callback sent by one service to another when an event happens.
Use GET emails/builder to fetch email content and POST blogs/posts to publish draft posts when emails arrive.
Bridge emails, blog endpoints, and the scheduler to publish posts on configured dates.
Pull authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and map to posts.
Register your app, obtain client ID and secret, and configure OAuth scopes.
Set up the endpoints you’ll use (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and run tests to confirm connectivity.
Create Zapier zaps that trigger on emails, posts, or author changes and map data to GHL.
Authentication in Zapier typically uses OAuth 2.0. Begin by creating an app in the GHL developer portal, then capture the client ID, client secret, and redirect URI. In Zapier, add a new connection and complete the OAuth handshake to grant access to the Blogs API. Ensure you request the scope emails/builder.readonly to access email builder resources as needed. Once connected, you can securely call endpoints without storing user passwords.
Core endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Use these to fetch templates, create or update posts, verify slugs, and manage categories and authors. They enable end-to-end workflows from content creation to publication.
No heavy coding is required: Zapier provides a no-code interface to map fields, set triggers, and call API endpoints. For more complex logic, you can use built-in actions to call endpoints and transform data. If needed, you can insert small code steps or use webhooks for custom processing.
Common errors include 401 unauthorized, 404 not found, and 422 unprocessable entity. Check that your OAuth token is valid, the endpoint path is correct, and required fields are supplied. Use curl or Postman to test endpoints outside Zapier before building the automation.
API credentials are obtained from the GHL developer portal. Create an app, note the client ID and secret, and configure the redirect URI. In Zapier, set up an OAuth2 connection and authorize. Store credentials securely and rotate secrets as needed.
Yes. You can fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories, then map them to posts and metadata in your automations. This helps attribute content correctly and organize posts by author and taxonomy.
Examples include a blog publishing zap, an author tracker, and a post slug verifier. Look for starter templates or the end of this guide for sample workflows you can adapt to your needs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
