GHL authentication uses a secure API token or OAuth 2.0. Grant the Zapier App Connector the minimum required scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly) and store credentials securely.
In Zapier, authorize the Blogs API by selecting your GHL account and granting access to the requested scopes. Use token refresh and rotate credentials regularly.
Used endpoints include:\n- GET emails/builder\n- GET emails/schedule\n- POST /blogs/posts\n- PUT /blogs/posts/:postId\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists\n- GET /blogs/categories\n- GET /blogs/authors\n- POST /emails/builder/data

Key fields: title, content, slug, postStatus, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: scheduled events or time-based triggers to push newsletters or post-roundups.
Actions: GET emails/schedule to fetch schedules, POST /emails/builder/data to generate and send emails from blog content.
Paths: GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data
Key fields: scheduleId, templateId, locationId
Trigger: slug existence checks and category/author lookups to drive publishing and routing.

Key fields: slug, postId, authorId
Automate repetitive blog publishing and emailing with no custom code.
Speed up content workflows by linking prompts, drafts, and newsletters in one place.
Maintain auditable workflows with logs and versioned content changes.
Key elements and processes include endpoints, triggers, post slugs, templates, authors, and categories that power the integration.
A URL-friendly, unique identifier for a blog post used to build human-readable links and to check existing slugs.
A single blog entry with metadata such as title, content, slug, author, and category.
A specific URL in the API used to perform a defined action, such as GET /blogs/authors.
A mechanism for real-time notifications from GHL to Zapier or vice versa when an event occurs.
Pull in new posts across categories and automatically generate a weekly roundup email or digest.
Turn form submissions into drafted blog posts that can be reviewed and published on a schedule.
Auto-fill meta descriptions, titles, and slugs using templates powered by Zapier data.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API (GHL) and the Zapier App Connector, then choose your trigger (New or Updated Blog Post) and action (Create Post in GHL).
Configure field mappings for title, content, slug, author, and category; specify which endpoints you will call (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors).
Run tests with sample data, verify slug logic, and monitor runs to ensure accuracy and uptime.
The Blogs API in GHL provides programmatic access to blog content and related resources. It lets you read, create, and update posts, authors, categories, and more. This is designed for no-code and low-code automation via Zapier App Connector.\nTip: start with read access to verify connections before enabling write permissions.
Authentication can be done with an API token or OAuth 2.0, depending on your setup. Prefer tokens with scoped access and rotate credentials regularly. In Zapier, connect the apps and test permissions on a staging environment first.\nAlways follow least-privilege practices to minimize risk.
The most useful endpoints for posting content include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to enforce unique slugs. For reading reference data, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors are valuable.\nCombine these with the email endpoints to automate workflows.
Yes. You can schedule blog updates and newsletters in a single workflow by combining the blogs endpoints with emails endpoints. Use GET emails/schedule to fetch schedules and POST /emails/builder/data to generate email content from blog posts.\nThis enables coordinated publishing and outreach without coding.
Slug checks ensure each post has a unique, URL-friendly identifier. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post to avoid duplicates. If a slug exists, you can adjust the slug or update the existing post.\nThis prevents broken links and SEO issues.
Test the integration with a sandbox or staging environment. Use sample payloads for posts, authors, and categories, then run end-to-end flows to verify creation, updates, and slug checks. Monitor job logs in Zapier and GHL to quickly pinpoint issues.\nOnce verified, migrate to production with confidence.
APIs evolve. If an endpoint changes, update your Zapier mappings and test again. Maintain versioning in your workflows and subscribe to changelog notifications from the API provider. This keeps automations resilient as the API evolves.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
