Blogs API supports API Key or OAuth 2.0 authentication. In Zapier, connect the Blogs API account by providing credentials and selecting scopes like emails/builder.readonly to access templates and related resources.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication depending on configuration. Enter your app credentials and authorize access to your Blogs API account; store credentials securely.

The Blogs API Zapier integration lets you connect a GHL Blogs API account to Zapier to automate publishing, updates, and related tasks without writing code. You can trigger actions from your CMS or content calendar and push data into emails, posts, and scheduling workflows. This setup is ideal for teams that want no-code automation with consistent content workflows. You’ll map triggers to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and manage posts through PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create new posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique URLs. For post updates, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and optionally check slug availability again. Managing categories and authors can be done with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep metadata in sync with your content calendar.
Typically you’ll need authentication credentials for either API Key or OAuth 2.0 flow. Depending on your organization’s security, you may require admin approval to create Zapier connections and scope access to endpoints like emails/builder.readonly. Always follow least-privilege principles and rotate credentials regularly.
Secure authentication involves using OAuth 2.0 where possible or strong API keys. In Zapier, store credentials securely, use sandbox/test accounts when testing, and monitor scopes to ensure only needed access is granted. If you rotate keys, re-authenticate to maintain uninterrupted automations.
Yes. You can schedule posts using endpoints that support publish timing and integration with Zapier’s scheduling tools. Create a Zap that triggers at a set time or in response to another event, then call POST /blogs/posts or update existing posts at the scheduled moment.
APIs evolve, and endpoints can change. Use versioned endpoints where available, monitor release notes, and test changes in a staging environment before updating Zaps. If an endpoint changes, adjust your Zap steps to use the new path or parameters.
Testing a Zap involves using Zapier’s built-in test feature and, if possible, a sandbox Blogs API account. Validate that triggers fire correctly, data maps to required fields (title, content, slug, etc.), and that post creation, updates, and slug checks perform as expected before turning the Zap on.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
