This glossary maps common posting terms to the GHL Blogs API model and how they relate to Zapier App Connector.
A single article published on a blog, created or updated via the Blogs API.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in links and routing.
A taxonomy grouping for posts to aid navigation and organization.
The person who wrote a post; linked to a GHL author entry.
Trigger weekly digests from your content calendar and publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Map CMS authors and categories to GHL to keep taxonomy aligned.
Push post status updates from Zapier to GHL to reflect edits.
Obtain client credentials and set up the OAuth 2.0 flow to authorize the connection.
Run a test to fetch categories and authors and verify the ability to create posts.
Choose a trigger and action to automate a blog workflow using the Blogs API endpoints.
The Blogs API in GHL lets you manage posts, categories, and authors from Zapier without coding. It provides endpoints to create, update, and fetch data as part of automated workflows. This connection enables you to automate content publishing and taxonomy management using no-code tools. This guide uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access between GHL and Zapier App Connector.
No code is required to get started. Use the Zapier UI to map fields between your trigger app and GHL Blogs API actions and test immediately. If you need custom logic, you can add filters in Zapier to refine when actions run.
Endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help you keep local data in sync with GHL. You can check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Ensure your credentials have the required permissions and your app is properly authorized.
To test the connection, use Zapier’s built-in test feature or run a manual test from the connected account. Review task history and logs to diagnose failures, often related to permissions or incorrect field mappings.
Yes. You can automate updates to categories and authors by triggering GET and PUT endpoints and mapping fields in Zapier. Use conditional logic to control when updates occur.
Security is provided by OAuth 2.0, token handling, and the principle of least privilege. Rotate credentials regularly, keep secrets secure, and limit scopes to what is necessary.
Zapier provides task history and logs for connected apps. You can view results in Zapier and, where available, in GHL. Set up alerts to stay informed about successes or failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
