To use the Blogs API, create OAuth credentials in the GHL developer portal and grant the scope emails/builder.readonly for reading and triggering blog content.
Connect Dropbox via OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize access for file creation and updates in your Dropbox workspace.
Core Blogs API endpoints included: GET emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API; Action in Dropbox is to create a Markdown file in the Blogs folder.
Dropbox: Create File; Path: /Blogs/{slug}.md; Include title, excerpt, and content.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, excerpt, author, date
Trigger when a blog post is updated in Blogs API
Dropbox: Update corresponding file in /Blogs
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content
Trigger when a post is published in Blogs API
Dropbox: Copy or move the published file to /Archive
POST /blogs/posts
slug, postId, archivedAt
Build automated workflows without writing code.
Keep blog content safely backed up in Dropbox with one click.
Accelerate team collaboration by sharing post assets instantly.
This section covers the core elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping that make the Dropbox + Blogs API connection work.
A software interface that lets two apps communicate and exchange data securely.
Open standard for granting secure delegated access between apps without sharing passwords.
A real time notification sent from one app to another when an event happens.
A URL friendly identifier derived from a post title used in the post URL.
Automatically save a copy of each new post to a designated Dropbox folder.
When a post is edited, update a companion file in Dropbox so teams stay in sync.
Move or copy older posts to an Archive folder for long term storage.
Register your app in the GHL developer portal and request the scope emails/builder.readonly.
Create a Dropbox app, note the client id and secret, set the redirect URL, and authorize access.
Connect the two apps in your Zapier App Connector, map triggers to actions, run tests, and enable the workflow.
The Dropbox and Blogs API integration lets you automate blog related workflows by creating, updating, and backing up content between the two apps. You can trigger Dropbox file actions when new posts are created in Blogs API and keep your team synchronized without manual steps. This reduces manual copying and framing tasks and ensures content is consistently stored in Dropbox. The no code approach lets non developers set up routines quickly while maintaining control over data mapping.
Supported endpoints focus on blog content and file actions. Key endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slugs (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and retrieving authors and categories (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). For Dropbox file actions you map post fields to file content in a target Dropbox folder. This provides a reliable content workflow between the Blogs API and Dropbox.
Yes. OAuth is used to authorize both apps. You obtain credentials in the GHL developer portal for Blogs API and configure a Dropbox app. Each app grants scoped access to perform the required actions. You never share passwords between apps and tokens can be rotated as needed.
Connections are secured with OAuth tokens and data is transmitted over TLS. You should enable least privilege scopes, monitor access, and rotate credentials periodically. Use the built in logging and error reporting in the App Connector to detect unusual activity and respond quickly.
Yes. You can tailor the Dropbox file format by mapping post fields to markdown or plain text files. You can include front matter with metadata and choose target folders. If you need rich media, you can attach assets and store links in the file content.
Test in the App Connector with a sample post. Validate triggers, verify file creation in Dropbox, and check content mapping. Use sandbox tokens if available and review error messages to adjust mappings or scopes as needed.
Common errors include invalid credentials, insufficient scopes, or missing required fields. Resolve by reauthorizing apps, ensuring the correct scope (emails/builder.readonly) is granted, and validating the data mapping. Check endpoint availability and review rate limits in the API docs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
