Authenticate the Blogs API within GHL by granting the Zapier App Connector the required scope and permissions. For this integration, the visible scope is emails/builder.readonly, which enables read access to blog-related builder data as needed by workflows.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector to Blogs API using OAuth or API keys. After you authorize, you’ll see confirmation of the permissions and be ready to build your automation.
– GET emails/builder – GET 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 when a new blog post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) and push the content to your CMS, newsletter, or social channels via Zapier.
Actions include: creating posts with POST /blogs/posts, updating content with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and enriching posts using data from /blogs/authors and /blogs/categories.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, publishDate
Trigger when a post is edited in Zapier App Connector to push updates to Blogs API.
Actions: update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to refresh title, content, or metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, publishDate
Trigger to fetch Authors and Categories data to enrich posts during creation or updates.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate author and category fields in posts.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId, slug
Automate blog publishing and distribution across CMS, newsletters, and social channels without writing a line of code.
Streamline your content workflow from draft to published, with centralized control and scheduling.
Leverage pre-built triggers and actions to connect your content stack quickly and reliably.
This section defines the core elements (endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields) and the step-by-step process to connect GHL to Blogs API via Zapier.
GHL API is a set of RESTful endpoints that let apps read, write, and manage data within GHL, including emails, scheduling, and blog-related data.
Blogs API is the collection of endpoints used to manage blog posts, categories, and authors within the Blogs section of the platform.
Endpoint is a URL path that performs a specific operation on the API (for example, GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts).
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in the post’s URL for consistent SEO-friendly linking.
Schedule a weekly pull of your latest posts and distribute automatically to CMS, newsletters, and social channels using the Blogs API endpoints.
Use templates and prompts to generate draft posts via POST /blogs/posts, then refine in your content workflow.
Auto-fill author and category fields by pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts.
In Zapier, select Blogs API as the app and establish a new connection using OAuth or API keys.
Authorize the required scope (including reading builder data) and confirm permissions for the Zapier App Connector.
Choose triggers like new posts and actions like create or update posts using endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
The GHL Blogs API is a set of endpoints you use to manage blog content, authors, and categories within GHL. It pairs with Zapier App Connector to automate publishing and distribution. This integration keeps your blog workflow no-code and centralized. By connecting via Zapier, you can trigger actions from one tool and push data into Blogs API with minimal setup.
Authentication typically involves creating a connection in Zapier and granting the Zapier App Connector the necessary scopes. For this scenario, the scope includes read access to builder data (emails/builder.readonly) to enable reading blog-related data. After authorization, test the connection to confirm successful access. If you see permission prompts, re-check the connected account and ensure the correct environment (sandbox or production) is selected.
Key endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing one. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. Combining these with related endpoints for authors and categories helps you auto-fill fields and maintain consistent metadata.
Yes. You can fetch authors and categories using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate fields in your posts. This enables dynamic tagging and consistent metadata without manual data entry. These endpoints are helpful when building automated publishing workflows that require up-to-date author and category data.
The typical scope needed for reading blog-related data is emails/builder.readonly, which allows read access to builder resources. Depending on your use case you may also need write permissions (e.g., blogs/post.write) for creating posts. Always follow the principle of least privilege and only request the scopes you actually use.
Test your connection in Zapier by running a sample trigger and action sequence. Check the logs for any API errors, verify that the correct endpoints are being called, and confirm that data maps to the expected fields. If you run into rate limits, consider batching requests or staggering workflows to stay within limits.
Yes, API rate limits may apply. Plan your workflow to avoid bursts that exceed the quota, and use pagination where supported to manage large data sets. Monitoring the usage in your API console helps prevent disruptions. If you anticipate higher load, consider requesting a higher rate limit or optimizing the frequency of automated tasks.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
