Use your API key or OAuth credentials to authorize Zapier actions against the Blogs API so you can read and write posts, schedules, and templates.
Grant access via OAuth 2.0 or a secure API token to allow Zapier to trigger and act on your GHL data.
API Endpoints Covered: GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.readonly, 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. This guide references these endpoints for reading, creating, updating, and organizing blog content and email campaigns.
Trigger: new post creation using POST /blogs/posts
Actions: push post details to emails/builder via POST /emails/builder/data and schedule delivery via POST /emails/builder
POST /blogs/posts → POST /emails/builder/data
title, content, slug, author_id, featured_image
Trigger: post update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: update content in templates via POST /emails/builder/data and re-send
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId → POST /emails/builder/data
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: slug existence check via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: verify slug with blogs/check-slug.readonly and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, title
No-code automation lets marketing and content teams connect systems without writing code.
Rapid setup: drag-and-drop triggers, actions, and routing in Zapier.
Scalable content workflows that adapt as your blog grows.
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields that move between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
An application programming interface that exposes endpoints you can call to read or modify data.
A secure authorization framework that issues tokens allowing apps to act on behalf of a user.
A lightweight callback that notifies your app when an event occurs.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and URLs.
Automatically reformat and publish blog content to newsletters and social posts.
Segment readers and trigger tailored email digests based on tags or interests.
Aggregate posts into a digest and schedule a recurring send.
Obtain API keys, client IDs, and set your access scopes to match the required endpoints.
In Zapier, create a new Zap and choose the Blogs API as the trigger and the App Connector as the action.
Run a test to verify data flow, adjust field mappings, and enable automation.
Yes. Authentication is required to secure data and restrict access. You will typically use OAuth 2.0 or an API key/token to authorize requests from Zapier to Blogs API. Tokens should be stored securely and rotated periodically for best security.
For blog workflows, essential endpoints include reading and writing posts (GET/POST /blogs/posts), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug), and category/author lookups (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). In Zapier, configure a trigger on post creation or update and map fields to the actions that publish or notify via the Email Builder.
Yes, you can schedule emails using the emails/builder and emails/schedule endpoints. This enables automated delivery of new-post alerts, digests, or newsletters. You can tie schedules to post events and audience segments.
Test the connection by running a Zapier test and, if possible, perform API calls in a staging environment. Verify authentication, permissions, and field mappings. Check endpoint responses and adjust as needed.
Required fields typically include title, content, and slug for posts; postId is needed for updates. Optional fields may include excerpt, featured_image, and category/author IDs depending on endpoints and your schema.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. If you exceed limits, implement retries with exponential backoff and plan requests to avoid bursts. Consider batching updates where possible.
Yes. You can customize field mappings in Zapier to align with your content schema. Use data pills to map API response fields to the corresponding Zapier action inputs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
