Access is secured via OAuth 2.0 with a scope limited to blog builder resources (emails/builder.readonly). Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
Zapier App Connector authenticates using OAuth 2.0; configure client credentials and redirect URIs in the APPNAME settings to maintain a secure connection.
Used endpoints with DataScope Forms: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; 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: New or updated blog posts in Blogs API can start a zap to push content to your external apps.
Actions: Create or update posts using blogs/posts, manage categories, authors, and slugs.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: Regular intervals fetch posts, categories, and authors for syncing.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors and write to your app.
Method path: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: postId, slug, title, publishedDate, authorName
Trigger: Webhook-like events from Blogs API (new or updated posts) push updates in real-time.
Method path: POST blogs/posts and POST blogs/post-update.write
Fields: postId, title, urlSlug, lastModified
Automate content workflows without writing code, linking Blogs API to your apps in minutes.
Create custom automations: post creation, tagging, and distribution happen automatically.
Reliable error handling, retries, and logging for auditability.
Understand the core concepts and processes used to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector: authentication, endpoints, data mapping, and testing.
A standard authorization protocol used to grant limited access to resources without sharing credentials.
URIs exposing actions and data in Blogs API, such as /blogs/posts.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in permalinks.
HTTP callbacks that notify your apps about changes in Blogs API data.
Automatically push post titles, slugs, and meta descriptions to your content automation stack.
Sync publishing dates to a calendar tool and trigger reminders.
Feed post metrics into dashboards for insights.
Authorize the Blogs API in GHL and grant scope emails/builder.readonly.
Choose the blogs and emails endpoints you will use (e.g., GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts).
Test the connection, run a sample post creation, and verify data flow.
To authenticate, configure OAuth 2.0 in GHL for the Blogs API, obtain client credentials, and authorize the required scope emails/builder.readonly. Store tokens securely in the APPNAME connection settings. Use refresh tokens to maintain access without user intervention.
For post creation and updates, use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You may also fetch related data with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate fields. Map request and response data to your app’s schema.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify whether a slug is already in use before creating a new post. This helps prevent duplicates and maintain clean SEO URLs. Implement a pre-check step in your zap before publishing.
No-code is possible. The Zapier App Connector and DataScope Forms provide visual builders to configure triggers, actions, and field mappings without writing code. Use templates and sample zaps to accelerate setup.
Errors are surfaced with clear messages and retriable status codes. The APPNAME connector supports automatic retries and logs failures for audit and debugging. Implement alerting to monitor failures.
Synced data includes postId, title, slug, content, categories, authors, publishDate, and status. You can customize mappings to align with your target app’s data model.
There are typical API rate limits and quotas depending on the plan. If you approach limits, implement backoff strategies and stagger requests, and consider batching where supported.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
