Authenticate to Blogs API with OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Create a client in your GHL account and grant Zapier App Connector the requested scopes. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Configure the Zapier app to authenticate against Blogs API using client id and secret. Use environment variables and store tokens securely in Zapier.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /emails/builder, and GET /emails/schedule. These endpoints cover content creation, retrieval, and scheduling between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.

Trigger when email templates are created or updated to align with blog campaigns.
Actions: manage email templates with GET/POST/PUT endpoints under emails/builder and data feed.
Methods: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule.
Key fields: templateId, locationId, scheduleId.
Automate complex workflows without writing code.
Rapidly connect data between your blog platform and other apps.
Easily test and deploy automations with templates and triggers.
Defined terms for API connections, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a task in Blogs API such as retrieving or updating data.
An authorization framework that grants limited access without sharing user credentials.
A URL friendly identifier for a post used in routing and slug checks.
A method for real time event notifications between Blogs API and Zapier.
Create a Zap that drafts posts from docs and publishes via Blogs API when approved.
Pull upcoming posts from your CMS and populate a content calendar with categories and authors.
Check slug existence before publishing to prevent duplicates and redirect accordingly.
Obtain API keys and OAuth credentials from Blogs API and configure them in Zapier.
Select endpoints such as blogs posts, categories, authors, and slug checks and map data fields in Zapier.
Run test zaps, verify triggers and actions, then activate for production.
For a basic blog workflow start with endpoints to fetch categories and authors, then create posts with POST /blogs/posts. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness and POST /blogs/posts to publish; keep content organized with categories and author data.
No code is required for many automations in Zapier. You can drag and drop triggers and actions and map fields from Blogs API to other apps. If you need custom logic you can add a small code step or use filters, but for most use cases the endpoints and built in actions are enough.
Slug existence can be checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug exists you can skip creation or update it. Automations can also fetch existing post data to decide the publishing flow and avoid duplicates.
Yes you can fetch authors and categories using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. This data helps populate dropdowns and assign posts. Keeping author and category data in sync ensures consistent metadata and improved SEO.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Always use secure storage for credentials and limit scopes. Review access periodically, rotate keys, and log only necessary data to reduce exposure.
Poll frequency depends on your use case. Scheduled checks can run every 5 to 60 minutes. For real time updates, use webhooks when available or trigger on publish to minimize polling.
Error logs can be viewed in Zapier task history and in your GHL account event logs if available. Check the connected app status. If you see a failed step, review the endpoint mapping, credentials, and rate limits, then re-run the zap.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
