Authenticate requests using your GHL access token with the Blogs API scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store the token securely and attach it to every API call in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.
Connect Zapier to your GHL account by completing OAuth or API key setup in the Zapier dashboard, then select Blogs API as the app to connect and authorize requested permissions.

No-code automation lets you build workflows without writing code.
Fast setup with familiar tools and endpoints lets you launch integrations quickly.
Scalable automation with testing and deployment directly from the Zapier builder.
Key elements include authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping. The processes describe how a blog post event flows from Blogs API to Zapier App Connector to update emails and schedules.
The GHL API is the programmatic interface that lets apps read and write data in your GHL account, including the Blogs API scope for posts, categories, and authors.
Blogs API endpoints manage posts, categories, authors, and related blog data within your GHL account.
Zapier App Connector enables no-code integrations between GHL APIs and other apps to automate workflows.
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier used to reference a blog post in the Blogs API.
When a new post is published, automatically generate a short summary and populate a newsletter draft in the Email Builder.
Create social posts and email snippets from blog content automatically.
Aggregate new posts into a weekly digest for subscribers.
Complete the OAuth flow in Zapier to authorize Blogs API within your GHL account.
Select a trigger (e.g., new post or post update) and map fields to actions in the App Connector.
Run tests, verify data integrity, and deploy to production.
Answer 1: The integration relies on a subset of GHL endpoints such as emails builder, emails schedule, and blogs endpoints to move data between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector. You may need access to the GHL API and the Blogs components within your account. Answer 2: Start by authenticating with your GHL token and then configure triggers in Zapier to map blog events to corresponding actions in Email Builder campaigns.
Answer 1: Developer access is helpful for initial setup, but many tasks can be completed with standard user permissions if the account allows. Answer 2: Ensure Webhooks and API calls are enabled for your GHL account and that the Blogs API scope is granted to the app.
Answer 1: You can sync posts, authors, categories, and email templates. Answer 2: Data mapping between fields like title, slug, content, and status is supported in Zapier.
