Obtain an access token with the scope emails/builder.readonly to access blog endpoints. Store credentials securely and test token validity before building zaps.
In Zapier, configure OAuth2 (or API key) credentials for the Blogs API, request the same scope, and use test accounts to verify connectivity.
GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, GET /emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog post draft is created in Blogs API, then Zapier uses POST /blogs/posts to publish with mapped fields.
Action: Post to /blogs/posts with title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug, and metadata to publish the entry.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, authorId, categoryId, slug, status
Trigger: A blog post is added or updated in Blogs API and should be reflected in Zapier.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts to list, GET /blogs/posts/:postId to read, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
GET /blogs/posts
id, title, slug, date, authorId, status
Trigger: Updates to categories or authors propagate to connected apps via Zapier.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors to pull latest taxonomy and author data.
GET /blogs/authors
id, name, bio
Automate publishing workflows without writing code.
Sync blog data across tools instantly for teams and campaigns.
Easily map fields and test endpoints with built-in validation.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings that enable a smooth data flow between GHL and Zapier.
A defined URL path and HTTP method that performs a specific operation against an API.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access tokens to call APIs securely.
An event in one service that starts a Zapier workflow or automation.
Connecting source fields to destination fields so data flows correctly between systems.
Use a scheduled trigger to publish blog posts automatically when your content calendar updates.
When a new contact is added in your CRM, create or update the corresponding author in Blogs API.
Map fields to bulk update categories, slugs, or author assignments across posts.
Create an app connection in Zapier and obtain client ID and secret, then authorize GHL with the requested scope.
Enter OAuth2 or API key details in the Zapier app, test the connection, and save.
Create field mappings for endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts, then run end-to-end tests.
Blogs API uses token-based authentication. Obtain an access token with the required scope (for blog operations) and refresh as needed. Keep tokens secure and rotate credentials regularly to protect access. The App Connector in Zapier can manage token refresh automatically during tests and live runs.
For a basic publish flow you need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts to verify creation. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness before publishing. Optional: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update and DELETE where needed.
In Zapier, use the Test Connection or Test Action features to verify the connector talks to the Blogs API. Ensure you have a test account and that the connected app has the correct scopes. Review error messages and adjust mappings or endpoints as needed.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug is already in use. If it exists, adjust the slug or update the existing post. This helps prevent duplicate content and maintains clean URLs.
Map source fields such as title, content, excerpt, authorId, and categoryId to the corresponding API fields. Use field mapping in Zapier to ensure data types align (string for title, rich text for content, integers for IDs). Validate required fields before sending requests.
Respect any rate limits defined by the Blogs API and your GHL integration. Implement backoff retries in Zapier or your custom logic and avoid burst requests. Monitor quota usage in your API dashboard to prevent throttling.
A central endpoint list and method references are available in the documentation for the Blogs API. Typical endpoints include posts, categories, and authors, along with utilities like slug checks. Use the list to design robust zaps and ensure proper method usage.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
