To begin, obtain an API key or OAuth token for the Blogs API within your GHL dashboard and grant Zapier App Connector access to your blog data.
Zapier App Connector will request the necessary scopes and tokens during setup. Store tokens securely and refresh when needed.

No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers actions and built in authentication to connect Blogs API without writing code. You will configure webhooks map fields and set up simple workflows. This makes it possible for non developers to automate publishing and management tasks. The platform also supports testing and deploying with a few clicks.
For basic posting you will use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them along with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. These endpoints cover the core workflow: draft publish categorize and attribute authors.
Slug checks are available via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and blogs/check-slug.readonly. If a slug already exists you can generate a new one or update the slug in the workflow to avoid conflicts.
Yes you can read categories and authors with read only endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET / blogs/authors, then use that data to assign metadata in your posts.
OAuth is supported. If you use API keys Zapier securely stores and renews keys. The important part is granting the Zapier App Connector the required scopes for reading and writing blog data.
You can test the connection from the Zapier app or run end to end tests with sample data. Verify posts are created updated and categorized and slug existence checks pass.
No code automation lets you schedule posts sync authors and categories and route content without coding. You gain faster publishing consistent metadata and easier content governance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
