Begin by granting the Zapier App Connector access to your Blogs API account with the required scopes. This ensures automation can read posts, create content, and manage slugs as needed.
In Zapier, create or select your connection using the Blogs API credentials provided by GHL. Save the connection to allow secure, ongoing automation.

No coding required—drag-and-drop automation lets non-developers orchestrate blog workflows quickly.
Fast setup and iteration with reusable templates and steps.

This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and the data flow between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method in the GHL API used to perform a defined action.
A tokens-based authorization method that lets apps securely access GHL resources on behalf of a user.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, usually generated or checked via the API.
A callback URL used by services to deliver real-time notifications about events.
Automatically collect draft posts, queue for review, and publish on a schedule.
Move approved drafts from backlog into live posts with a single workflow.
Keep local authors and categories in sync with GHL so tagging and routing stay accurate.
Authenticate and authorize your Blogs API account, then select the needed scopes and test the connection.
Choose events like new post, publish post, or slug checks, and map fields to your destination.
Run tests, verify mappings, and enable automation in production.
You can automate post creation, updates, slug checks, and publication workflows between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. This enables publishing, editing, and organization of content without manual steps. Together, these automations streamline your editorial process and ensure consistent data across your CMS and blog system.
No, you don’t need to write code. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to connect endpoints and map fields. Advanced users can customize with simple formulas, but most setups are drag-and-drop. If you do need custom logic, you can add conditional steps and error handling within Zapier.
Typically you’ll publish posts with POST /blogs/posts and update content with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Slug checks use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and slug validation endpoints to prevent duplicates. These endpoints cover the core publishing workflow and slug management you’ll use most often.
Yes. You can schedule posts for future publication by including a publishDate in your post data and using a scheduling action in Zapier. This ensures content goes live exactly when you want, without manual intervention.
Authors and categories can be synchronized by querying /blogs/authors and /blogs/categories and mapping them to your internal system. Updates in GHL will push to Zapier and vice versa. Regular sync keeps tagging, attribution, and routing consistent.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
