To access the Blogs API through the Zapier App Connector you will use OAuth 2.0 credentials scoped for emails and blogging endpoints. Keep your API key and client secret secure and ensure your redirect URIs are whitelisted.
In Zapier configure the connection by selecting OAuth 2.0 and entering your GHL credentials. The connector will manage token refreshes and secure token storage.
Endpoints covered include email builder actions and blog post actions. Examples include GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New item in source app fires a request to POST /blogs/posts to create a new blog entry
Actions: Create blog post by mapping title content author and category; optional slug and publish date
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, category_id, slug, publish_date
Trigger: Source app reports an update then you call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: Update post fields such as title content and status
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: Draft ready for publish and check slug uniqueness
Actions: Check slug using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and proceed or suggest an alternative slug
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug

The Blogs API supports OAuth 2.0 for secure access via the Zapier App Connector. Use your GHL credentials to authorize and request the scopes needed for emails and blogs endpoints. This ensures you can read and manage email builders as well as blog posts. The integration uses standard REST endpoints to perform create read update delete operations. You will manage tokens within the Zapier app and renew them as needed.
Blog posts are created and updated through the blogs endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can also verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetch related data like authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
No coding is required for the basic connection. The Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to map fields and set up triggers and actions. You just configure the endpoints, map fields, and run test scenarios. Advanced users can add custom logic using Zapier paths if needed.
To check slug existence use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is already in use you can adjust the slug and retry. This helps keep unique URLs for each post and supports SEO best practices.
Required fields for creating a blog post typically include title and content. Optional fields include author_id, category_id, slug and publish_date. You can also set status and other metadata as supported by the API.
Yes. You can update blog posts after publishing using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify title content or status. Changes can be reflected on the live site once the post is republished or updated according to your workflow.
For more resources, consult the Blogs API docs within the Zapier App Connector setup and the GHL API reference. You can also access example templates and field mappings in the integration dashboard and our knowledge base.
