Securely authenticate between the GHL Blogs API and Zapier App Connector using API keys or OAuth. Start by generating an API key for your GHL account with the appropriate scopes for blog management, then connect that key in Zapier.
In Zapier, add your Blogs API connection and authorize access to the endpoints you will use (posts, categories, authors).
Endpoints include: 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: A new blog post is created in Blogs API and the workflow in Zapier App Connector publishes or distributes the content.
Actions: Create post via POST /blogs/posts, update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, validate slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: When a post is updated in Blogs API, verify slug validity and propagate changes.
Actions: Update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; check slug exists via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Required fields: postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Use read-only endpoints to fetch categories and authors for enrichment in CRM workflows.
Actions: Get categories via GET /blogs/categories and get authors via GET /blogs/authors.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
No required fields; use query params if needed for paging or filtering.
Automate content workflows without writing code.
Connect multiple apps to streamline publishing, approval, and distribution of posts.
Keep authors, categories, and SEO slug data synchronized across systems.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and data flows used in the integration.
A defined URL path and HTTP method that performs a specific action in an API.
A URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs and for SEO.
The process or mechanism (API keys, OAuth) used to verify identity and grant access to API endpoints.
A callback URL that allows apps to receive real-time updates from the API.
Set up a trigger for new drafts in Blogs API and push them to your CMS or marketing tools via Zapier, reducing manual publishing time.
Pull author details from Blogs API and attach them to posts in your CRM or content calendar.
Keep category lists synchronized across systems to improve filtering and targeting.
Create or select an API key in GHL and connect it in Zapier to establish trust with the Blogs API.
Choose the endpoints you need (posts, authors, categories) and map fields in Zapier to match your data model.
Create automated workflows, run test data, and validate that posts publish and update as expected.
The Blogs API integration with Zapier App Connector lets you automate blog workflows by connecting your GHL Blogs API to Zapier. You can trigger actions in Zapier when new posts are created and push updates back to your CMS, marketing tools, or CRM. This setup helps teams publish faster and maintain consistent content across platforms. The integration supports reading category and author data to enrich workflows, enabling smarter routing and segmentation.
To publish a post you will typically use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint, and then optionally update it with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to ensure clean URLs. Additional endpoints for slug checks and category assignments may be used to fully configure the post. You may also reference GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich the post data.
Check slug existence by calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is already in use, you should modify the slug in your payload or generate a new one. Rechecking slug availability can be part of a post creation or update workflow to prevent conflicts. This helps maintain SEO friendly URLs and avoids broken links.
Yes. You can fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors. This data can populate dropdowns, assignment fields, or tag mappings in your content workflows. Keeping this data in sync improves routing, filtering, and personalization across apps connected through Zapier App Connector.
No code is required to set up this integration beyond connecting your GHL account and Zapier app. The workflow designer in Zapier lets you map fields, set triggers, and configure actions using the available endpoints. If you can drag and drop, you can build robust blog automation in minutes.
Typical permissions include read only for content discovery and write access for creating or updating posts. Choose scopes such as blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write for post management, and readonly scopes for categories and authors as needed. Ensure your API key has the minimum permissions required for your workflow.
Start by testing a small workflow in Zapier. Use a sample post payload, trigger a create or update event, and verify that the post appears in your CMS and reflects the correct slug, category, and author data. Iterate with additional test records to confirm error handling, retries, and data mapping across all steps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
