Connect the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0. In your GHL developer settings create an app, capture client ID and secret, and authorize the connection from Zapier App Connector.
During setup choose OAuth 2.0, then grant access and test the connection to ensure secure communication between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Endpoint highlights include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.readonly, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new blog post is published in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts)
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish content and trigger downstream automations
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: When a blog post is updated in Blogs API (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId)
Actions: Update post data and slug, then sync across connected apps
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: When slug existence is verified to prevent duplicates (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists)
Actions: Validate slug and fetch existing post data
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, postId
Benefit: Build powerful automations without writing code.
Benefit: Rapidly connect endpoints to launch campaigns.
Benefit: Keep your blog data in sync across tools.
Learn the core terms you will see in this guide, including GHL API, endpoints, triggers, actions, and methods.
GHL API: The developer interface that lets you access GHL features programmatically.
Endpoint: A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against the GHL API.
Trigger: An event in one system that starts a Zapier automation.
Action: The operation executed by Zapier in response to a trigger.
Automatically publish approved drafts to your blog via Zapier to save time.
Mirror blog posts to a CMS when they are updated in GHL.
Generate and send post summaries to your email newsletter or social channels.
Set up OAuth 2.0 and authorize the connection between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Map the endpoints you will use for triggers and actions in your Zapier workflows.
Run tests, fix any issues, and deploy your automations to production.
Answer: No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map triggers, actions, and data fields. You can set up simple automations with a few clicks. If you are comfortable with basic API concepts, you can customize mappings for richer workflows.
Answer: For basic publishing you will typically use POST /blogs/posts to create content and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs. Other endpoints can be added as needed for scheduling and editing.
Answer: Use the Test Connection in Zapier, and verify by triggering a sample post creation. Check response codes and logs to confirm successful setup.
Answer: OAuth 2.0 is supported. You will provide client credentials from your GHL app and authorize in Zapier. Token refresh is automatic.
Answer: The platform includes built-in retries and exponential backoff. Check logs for failures and adjust the workflow or endpoint mapping as needed.
Answer: Yes. You can route multiple blogs or categories by adding additional triggers and actions and by using endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to filter content.
Answer: Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API docs and within the Zapier app connector setup screens.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
