Start by securing an API key for your Blogs API and configuring access permissions in your GHL account to enable read and write operations across emails and blogs.
Connect your Zapier app, authorize permissions, and establish a secure connection so the connector can trigger actions and read data from Blogs API 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: a new or updated email template in the Emails builder signals a draft ready to publish.
Actions: populate blog post content from the email body, create or update a draft, and optionally publish or schedule.
Method path: GET emails/builder to locate templates; POST /emails/builder/data to fill content; POST /blogs/posts to publish.
Key fields: locationId, templateId, subject, body, postTitle, postContent
Trigger: a filled blog template is ready to convert into a post.
Actions: create post, set slug, assign author, set category, verify slug uniqueness.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, category, author
Trigger: calendar or schedule event to publish a post and notify subscribers via email templates.
Actions: publish blog post on schedule, queue email updates via emails/schedule, and track status.
Method path: GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; POST /emails/builder/data; GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: scheduleId, publishTime, postId, status, audience
Build and run complex automation without writing a line of code.
Coordinate emails and blog publishing from a single visual workflow.
Rapid iteration: test, tweak, and deploy faster than traditional development.
This guide covers endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used by the Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL with an HTTP method that lets you perform a defined action in an API.
A real-time notification mechanism that calls your app when an event happens.
A URL-friendly string used to identify posts in URLs and SEO metadata.
An unpublished content version in progress before final publish.
Turn incoming email briefs into structured outlines and seed posts automatically.
Sync a calendar with blog publishing to publish on planned dates and notify teams via email.
Keep slugs aligned with titles to preserve SEO rankings and readability.
Grant access to Blogs API resources and email endpoints for automated work across apps.
Select the endpoints that drive your flows and configure field mappings.
Run end-to-end tests and deploy your automation to production.
Authentication for the Blogs API uses an API key linked to your GHL account and OAuth for app connections. Ensure the added scopes include emails/builder.readonly, emails/builder.write, blogs/post.write, and blogs/author.readonly so your automations can read and write where needed. In Zapier, connect the Blogs API to your Zapier account and authorize the connection to enable secure data flow. Always rotate credentials and follow best practices to protect sensitive data.
For basic publishing you will at minimum need endpoints to create posts and check slugs: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to assign metadata and routing for the post. If you’re sending email notifications, you’ll need the emails endpoints to manage templates and schedules.
To verify a slug, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug. If the slug is already in use, adjust the title or slug and retry; the endpoint will indicate whether the slug exists. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and keeps SEO clean. You can also test slug generation inside your automation builder before publishing.
Yes. Use POST /blogs/posts to create drafts and then publish via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or scheduling via theEmails/schedule endpoint. You can combine this with the workflow to trigger posting at a specific time. Scheduling can be driven by a calendar or a pre-defined cadence set in the app connector.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier handles most orchestration with point-and-click mapping. You will need to configure authentication, select endpoints, and map fields. Some light data transformation may be helpful, but the connector is designed for non-developers to automate workflows quickly.
Emails endpoints manage templates, drafts, and scheduling for email notifications, while blogs endpoints create and manage blog posts, categories, authors, and slugs. The two sets can be used together to coordinate announcements via email with content publishing actions in Blogs API.
The endpoint list is accessible within the Blogs API integration actions in Zapier and also in the GHL API docs. Look under the blogs and emails sections to wire your automations, and use the provided endpoint names to map to triggers and actions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
