To start, generate your GHL API credentials and authorize the connection from Zapier App Connector to securely access blog data and email templates.
In Zapier App Connector set up OAuth 2.0 or API key based auth to establish trust with GHL Blogs API, keeping credentials private.
Core endpoints include: – GET emails/builder – GET 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 blog posts in Blogs API to kick off a targeted email campaign in the App Connector
Actions include creating campaigns, selecting audiences, and sending notifications
Method path uses POST /blogs/posts to publish content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: postId title slug content authorId categoryId status
Trigger a newsletter or digest when a new post is published
Actions: send emails, update segments, schedule campaigns
Method path: POST /blogs/posts and POST emails/builder data
Key fields: postId, emailListId, templateId, subject, body
Trigger: New content in Blogs API adds leads to a nurturing workflow
Actions: enroll leads, trigger follow ups, log engagement
Method path: POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories to enrich data
Key fields: postId, leadId, nurtureFlowId, engagementStatus
Benefit 1 no code automation across blogs and emails

Run tests and enable live automations
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage content, authors, categories, and blog posts while the Zapier App Connector enables no code automation with GHL. By authenticating, you establish a secure data flow that lets you trigger emails and campaigns when new posts are created. This integration emphasizes ease of use and scalable automation without writing code. Begin by obtaining your GHL API credentials and configuring the Zapier App Connector to read required scopes. Test connections in a sandbox or staging environment before going live to ensure data integrity and expected behavior.
Recommended endpoints include the core blog endpoints for creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) along with endpoints to check slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and read categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). For emails, use the builder endpoints (GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data) to attach campaigns to published content. Mapping these endpoints to your triggers provides reliable content to campaign workflows while keeping data synchronized across systems.
Yes. You can test in a non production environment by using test posts and test audience lists. The Zapier App Connector typically supports a dry run or sandbox mode that lets you verify triggers and actions without sending real emails. After validating data mappings and endpoint responses, you can deploy to production with confidence.
Secure authentication is achieved by configuring OAuth 2.0 or API keys between GHL and the Zapier App Connector. Keep credentials private, rotate keys periodically, and restrict scopes to only what is necessary for the integration. Regularly review access logs and implement IP whitelisting if available.
Common fields to map include postId, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId, status for blog posts; and for emails, fields like subject, body, templateId, and recipient lists. Align slug, category, and author data with your marketing workflows to enable targeted campaigns and accurate segmentation.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed for no code automation using the Zapier App Connector and GHL endpoints. Some understanding of data mapping and basic logic is helpful, but the standard templates and triggers cover most common use cases.
You can access logs and troubleshooting tips in the Zapier app dashboard and the GHL API dashboard. Look for connection status, endpoint responses, rate limits, and error messages. This helps identify misconfigurations and adjust mappings or permissions promptly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
