Access to Blogs API is secured with a token scoped to emails and blog data. Generate a token in GHL with the appropriate scope and connect it in Zapier App Connector.
In Zapier, configure a connection to the Blogs API by providing the generated token and testing the authentication to ensure successful requests.

An API endpoint is a specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action.
A URL-friendly identifier used to reference a resource, such as a blog post.
The process of proving identity to access APIs, typically via tokens, API keys, or OAuth.
A mechanism for real-time notifications when data changes in an API.
Automatically publish new drafts to your blog when your CMS updates.
Notify Slack or Teams when readers leave comments and route to the right channel.
Automatically generate SEO-friendly slugs from your content data before publishing.
In GHL, generate an integration token with the required scopes, then copy it to Zapier.
Attach the Blogs API connection in Zapier and test authentication.
Run a test workflow and set up monitoring alerts.
The Blogs API lets you manage blog content and email templates from GHL. It connects with Zapier App Connector for automation. You can fetch categories and authors with endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, and publish posts with POST /blogs/posts.
Authentication uses a secure token or OAuth. In Zapier, connect the token, test the connection, and ensure scopes match (emails/builder.readonly, blogs management, etc.).
To publish content, use POST /blogs/posts (and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update). Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs before publishing.
Yes. Read operations are supported via GET endpoints such as GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. For edits, use the write endpoints.
No-code setup is possible with Zapier workflows. You can use templates and triggers to automate without writing code.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug already exists and adjust accordingly.
Create a test Zap, run the workflow, and monitor results. Use Zapier task history for troubleshooting.
