To authorize the Blogs API within GHL, generate an API key or OAuth token with the required scope(s) (including emails/builder.readonly and relevant blog endpoints). Store credentials securely, and connect via the GHL Zapier App Connector to enable triggers and actions.
CosmoLex uses its own access tokens or API keys. In no-code setups, authorize CosmoLex in Zapier or within the GHL App Connector, granting access to posts, authors, categories, and related data. Keep tokens secure and rotate on a schedule.

Automate cross-system data entry without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Leverage triggers and actions to keep posts, authors, and categories synced in real-time or on a schedule.
Accelerate onboarding and scale updates with reusable automations that don’t require developer effort.
This section provides clear definitions of the essential concepts: API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and how data maps across Blogs API and CosmoLex.
An application programming interface that enables software components to communicate and share data.
A real-time notification mechanism where the server sends an HTTP POST to a configured URL when a specified event occurs.
Methods used to verify identity and grant access to APIs, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL-friendly version of a title used in web addresses and API lookups.
Use a trigger from Blogs API to automatically create CosmoLex notes or tasks when a new blog post is published.
Map blog categories to CosmoLex folders or tags to keep everything organized across systems.
Send key analytics like views and status to CosmoLex as notes or tasks for easier reporting.
From Blogs API, generate an API key with the required scopes and securely store it. Prepare CosmoLex to receive data via Zapier.
Connect Blogs API and CosmoLex in Zapier, set up triggers and actions, and map fields between systems.
Run end-to-end tests, check for errors in logs, adjust mappings, and deploy to production with monitoring.
Blogs API authentication in GHL typically uses API keys or OAuth tokens. Ensure you grant the minimum required scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly and the relevant blogs endpoints) and store credentials securely. Keep tokens rotated and monitor for expiry to maintain uninterrupted automation. In Zapier app setups, re-authenticate when prompted and verify that the connection shows a valid status before running automations.
Some endpoints require write permissions (e.g., POST, PUT, DELETE) or specific scopes such as blogs/post.write or blogs/category.readonly. Read-only endpoints only need read permissions. Always align your app permissions with the least privilege necessary for the task and review scope settings in both GHL and Zapier.
Yes. The GHL Zapier App Connector enables no-code automation between Blogs API and CosmoLex. You can configure triggers (when a blog post is published or an author is updated) and actions (create or update CosmoLex records) without writing code. Test thoroughly with sample data to ensure mappings are correct before going live.
Map blog post fields (title, content, excerpt, author, category) to corresponding CosmoLex fields (notes, tasks, or custom fields). Use unique identifiers like postId to keep data in sync and prevent duplicates. Validate mappings with real data during testing.
Yes, rate limits depend on the Blogs API plan. If you exceed limits, requests may be throttled or fail. Plan your automations with backoff retries, batching where possible, and monitor usage in the GHL or Zapier dashboards to adjust cadence.
Content can be plain text or HTML, with images linked or stored as notes. Ensure content length respects API limits and consider extracting essential excerpts for CosmoLex notes if needed.
Use Zapier’s test feature to trigger actions with sample data and review HTTP responses. Check authentication status, field mappings, and error messages in GHL, Zapier, and Blogs API logs. Iterate on mappings and retry until the workflow runs smoothly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
