Authorize the GHL Blogs API by supplying your API credentials and selecting the required scopes to read and write blog data.
Allow DropInBlog to access your GHL data so Zapier can orchestrate blog actions across your accounts.
Endpoints you can leverage include: – blogs/post.write (creates a post) – POST /blogs/posts (create a post) – blogs/post-update.write (update a post) – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (edit a post) – blogs/check-slug.readonly (check slug availability) – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (verify slug exists) – blogs/category.readonly (read categories) – GET /blogs/categories (list categories) – blogs/author.readonly (read authors) – GET /blogs/authors (list authors)
Trigger: when a new blog post is created in GHL via the Blogs API, automatically push it to DropInBlog.
Actions: create a new post in DropInBlog with title, content, slug, author, and category data.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: when a post is updated in GHL, reflect changes in DropInBlog.
Actions: update DropInBlog post fields (title, content, slug, status).
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content, status
Trigger: pull lookup lists to keep forms up to date.
Actions: fetch categories and authors to populate dropdowns.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId, name

This glossary covers the core terms, including Trigger, Action, Endpoint, Slug, and the data fields used in the Blogs API + DropInBlog integration.
An event in GHL that starts an automation, such as a new blog post being published.
An operation performed in DropInBlog in response to a trigger, like creating or updating a post.
A specific API route such as /blogs/posts or /blogs/categories used by the integration.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post.
Automatically pull the latest posts and assemble a weekly digest to subscribers via DropInBlog.
Refresh SEO metadata automatically when content changes to boost search rankings.
Publish new posts to social channels as soon as they go live in GHL.
Grant Zapier access to both services and authorize the API connections.
Choose the New Post trigger and map actions to create or update posts in DropInBlog.
Run tests, verify data flows, and deploy to production.
You typically manage authentication with a single API key that grants access to the needed endpoints. Each endpoint shares the same authentication context, so you don’t need a separate key for every route. Ensure your key has the required scopes to read and write blog data. If your workflow requires elevated permissions, create a scoped key and rotate it regularly to maintain security while keeping automations uninterrupted.
Yes. The integration supports listing authors and categories, which you can use to populate dropdowns in forms or to assign posts programmatically. This enables dynamic content creation and easier data enrichment across platforms. For accuracy, keep the authors and categories synchronized by scheduling periodic lookups or triggering updates when changes occur in GHL.
You can automate post creation, updates, slug checks, and taxonomy lookups between GHL and DropInBlog. Typical use cases include publishing new posts, updating existing ones, and syncing categories and authors for consistent metadata across channels. Combine triggers and actions to build end-to-end blog workflows without writing code.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the API usage. Plan for bursts during high-traffic campaigns and implement retries with backoff in Zapier. If you anticipate heavy use, monitor the logs and consider requesting a higher quota from your API provider.
To test the connection, run a test in Zapier to authorize the apps, perform a sample trigger (e.g., a new post), and verify the corresponding action creates or updates a post in DropInBlog. Review the task history and any error messages for quick debugging.
Yes. You can mirror updates from GHL posts to DropInBlog. Ensure you map postId and relevant fields (title, content, slug, status) in the update action so changes propagate correctly across systems.
Zapier provides a task log and error details for each run. You can view successful executions, retries, and failure reasons in the task history. Enable alerts to be notified of repeated failures and address misconfigurations promptly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
