To authorize access to Blogs API, configure OAuth 2.0 or API keys within the Apps area, request the scope emails/builder.readonly to read templates and schedule content, and grant the Zapier App Connector permission to manage blog posts.
In Zapier, securely connect the Apps by using OAuth or API keys as required, ensuring the connection carries the proper scope for both Emails Builder and Blogs endpoints.
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: New blog post created in Blogs API
Actions: create with POST /blogs/posts, update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and publish with a scheduled workflow.
Sample method: POST /blogs/posts to create a post
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: New or updated email template in Emails Builder
Actions: create emails template (POST emails/builder), update or delete, reuse in blog posts via linking
POST emails/builder
locationId, templateId, templateName, subject, content
Trigger: Before publishing, check slug existence
Actions: check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, create or update post, set SEO fields
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId, title
Automates publishing and updates without writing code.
Centralizes content workflows between Blogs API and the App Connector.
Scales team collaboration with templates and schedules.
This section covers authentication, endpoint usage, data mapping, and workflow examples to help you design effective automations.
The process of validating credentials and granting access to the GHL API for the Zapier App Connector.
A URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs and SEO.
A specific URL path that performs an action or returns data from the GHL API.
A real-time message sent by an API to notify your app of events.
Automatically populate meta title and description fields during post creation to improve SEO.
Use reusable templates for intro, body, and CTA to speed up publishing.
Schedule posts to publish at optimal times and push notifications to teams.
In Zapier, create a connection using your Blogs API credentials and grant the requested scope.
Choose endpoints like emails/builder and blogs endpoints, map fields, and test.
Run a test in Zapier to verify triggers and actions against Blogs API.
You will need to authenticate via OAuth 2.0 or API keys and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access Blogs API within the scope defined (emails/builder.readonly etc.). Once connected, you can map fields and test in a sandbox environment.
Start with emails/builder endpoints for templates and scheduling, then use blogs endpoints for post creation. Make sure to set proper permissions and test each step.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness. If the slug already exists, modify it or include a unique suffix before creating the post.
Yes, scheduling can automate posting times. Use blogs/post-update.write along with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to adjust publish dates as needed.
Common errors include invalid scope, missing required fields, and rate limits. Check the app connection, ensure all fields are mapped, and review API limits in the logs.
No heavy coding is required; the Zapier UI handles most mapping and workflow logic. For advanced cases, a small script step can be added if needed.
The latest endpoint list is documented in the developer docs. You can also explore GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
