To connect Blogs API to GHL through Zapier, start by granting secure access to the Blogs API via OAuth2 or API keys, depending on your setup.
In Zapier, securely store credentials and test the connection to ensure safe data flows between GHL and Blogs API.
– GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – 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: a new blog post is created in Blogs API
Actions: create or update a post in Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: slugExists check when drafting a post
Actions: verify slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; create post if the slug is available
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postTitle
Trigger: changes in blogs/authors or blogs/categories
Actions: fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories and map into Zapier fields
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, name; categoryId, name
Zero-code automation: connect Blogs API to Zapier without coding.
Faster content workflows: automate posting, updates, and approvals between GHL and Blogs API.
Reliable data consistency between GHL and Blogs API.
This glossary explains the key terms and data processes used in the Blogs API and Zapier integration with GHL.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against a service.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post in Blogs.
A standard authorization protocol that enables secure access to user data without sharing passwords.
A callback URL that gets notified when a defined event occurs.
Automatically publish to Blogs API when you create a post in GHL, syncing title and excerpt.
Push edits from GHL to Blogs API to keep content in sync.
Capture drafts from GHL and prepare them in Blogs API before publishing.
In Zapier, authorize access to Blogs API and choose the endpoints you will use.
Map GHL fields (title, content, excerpt) to Blogs API fields.
Run tests and enable the Zap to go live.
No traditional coding is required. You can configure the Zapier App Connector to connect Blogs API with GHL using guided prompts and field mappings. For advanced scenarios, light scripting is optional but not required. This setup is designed for a no-code workflow to empower editors and marketers. You can test connections in a sandbox and adjust mappings without touching your production data.
Essential endpoints for a basic sync typically include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Additional read-only endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories help populate dropdowns and improve accuracy. Start with the core create/update flow and layer in slug validation and read-only endpoints as needed.
Slug conflicts are resolved by performing a slug existence check before creation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). If the slug exists, you can either modify the slug or update the existing post. Implementing a simple fallback strategy keeps posts unique and searchable. Always validate the slug in a test run before going live to avoid duplicate content.
Data can be synced on a cadence you choose in Zapier (e.g., real-time, every 15 minutes, or hourly). Ping-based triggers from GHL can also drive near-real-time updates. Be mindful of API rate limits and set retry logic to handle temporary failures gracefully.
Yes, you can start with a free or trial plan for Zapier App Connector and Blogs API to validate connectivity. Many plan tiers support core create/update flows, field mappings, and a limited number of tasks per month. If you exceed limits, consider upgrading or batching workflows to stay within quotas.
Error logs and run history are accessible in both GHL and Zapier dashboards. Check for authentication errors, missing field mappings, or endpoint permission issues. Use the logs to trace payloads, verify responses, and adjust mappings or endpoints accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
