Authenticate to Blogs API using the required credentials. This integration requires a token with the scope emails/builder.readonly to access post data and schedule information as needed.
Connect the Zapier App Connector using OAuth or API key, then select the Blogs API connection to authorize access and test the connection from within Zapier.
Endpoint highlights include core blog and email endpoints such as GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories.
Triggers when a new blog post is created in Blogs API (polling via GET /blogs/posts).
Action steps pull post data (title, content, author, slug) and create a corresponding item in your target app (CRM, mailing list, etc.).
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, excerpt, author, publishedAt
Detects updates to existing posts via the PUT /blogs/posts/:postId endpoint or by checking the post’s last updated timestamp.
Update downstream records with new title, content, or status when a post changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, updatedAt, title, content, status
Pulls data when new authors or categories are added via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Populate author or category fields in your CRM or CMS, enriching your content metadata.
GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/categories
authorId, name, bio; categoryId, name, description
Automate publishing and distribution without writing code.
Keep blog data in sync across systems with triggers and actions.
Leverage ready-made templates and workflows to speed up launches.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, data mapping, and authentication flows that enable reliable automation.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that enables apps to communicate and request data from each other.
A specific URL in an API that performs a function, such as fetching posts or updating a post.
A lightweight callback that notifies your app when an event occurs, enabling real-time automation.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post in a readable way, commonly used in SEO-friendly URLs.
Whenever a new post is published in Blogs API, automatically share it to connected social accounts and update your team in real-time.
Generate a weekly or daily digest of new posts and send to subscribers via email or messaging apps.
Push posts and scheduling data to a calendar tool to visualize your content plan.
Obtain OAuth tokens and grant required permissions to access Blog data and scheduling endpoints.
Select endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/authors to map to your app fields.
Run tests in Zapier to verify triggers, actions, and error handling before going live.
The Blogs API is a set of endpoints that allow you to manage posts, schedules, and related content within GHL. It enables automation and data synchronization when connected through the Zapier App Connector. Use the provided endpoints to create, read, update, and schedule posts, then map fields to your downstream apps.
The connection typically requires an access token with the appropriate scope, for example emails/builder.readonly for read-only access to emails and scheduling data. Ensure you authorize the Zapier app and test the connection to confirm access.
Yes. You can use the PUT /blogs/posts/:postId endpoint to update a post via Zapier, allowing you to sync changes across systems. Ensure your Zapier action uses the correct postId and handles errors gracefully.
In Zapier, create a test Zap that triggers on a new or updated blog post, then run a test to confirm data is transmitted correctly. Use sample data from Blogs API to validate mappings.
Webhooks can be used for real-time updates, but you can also poll the endpoints in Zapier. If you want real-time, configure secure webhooks supported by GHL and Zapier.
Yes. The GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists endpoint helps verify if a slug is already in use and prevents duplications when creating new posts.
If authentication fails, reauthorize the connection in Zapier, verify the OAuth scopes, and ensure your API token is valid and not expired.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
