Set up credentials for the Blogs API and grant the necessary scope. Use OAuth or API keys as provided by your GHL account to enable secure access to blog data.
In Zapier, add the Blogs API integration, authorize access to required endpoints, and run a connection test to confirm seamless data flow.
– GET emails/builder – GET emails/schedule – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – POST /blogs/posts – POST emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – POST /blogs/posts – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new data source is ready (for example a form entry or webinar data) and you publish a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and optionally trigger emails with the emails endpoints.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: Draft ready for publish; verify slug to prevent duplicates.
Actions: Check slug existence via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; if exists, adjust the slug; otherwise proceed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly
slug, title
Trigger: A new category or author is added in the CMS.
Actions: Retrieve lists with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; map fields to your post data.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
None (read-only endpoints) or categoryId/authorId as available
Automate blog publication workflows and sync content with marketing campaigns without writing code.
Update posts and categories automatically from forms, webinars, or CRM triggers.
Scale content operations across teams with reusable Zap templates and triggers.
This glossary defines terms used in this guide: API, endpoints, slug, categories, authors, and common actions for creating, updating, and validating content.
A set of rules that enables apps to talk to each other and request data or trigger actions.
A specific URL path in an API used to access a resource or perform an action.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in the slug portion of a URL.
A method for apps to receive real-time data from another service by sending HTTP requests when events occur.
Trigger a new post in Blogs API whenever a webinar event registers a user, pulling in webinar data for immediate publication.
Automatically publish recap posts to your blog using data from EasyWebinar and mapped blog fields.
Map webinar topics to blog categories and authors to keep content organized and discoverable.
Obtain a client ID, client secret, or API key from the Blogs API and configure your Zap in Zapier.
Authorize the connection in Zapier and select the required scopes for blog reading and writing.
In Zapier, map blog fields to actions, run test zaps, and verify the data flow end-to-end.
No coding is required when using the Zapier App Connector to connect Blogs API. The interface provides triggers, actions, and searches for common workflows. For highly customized needs, you can still build multi-step Zaps using the endpoints listed. The documentation is designed for a no-code to low-code spectrum.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug already exists. If it does, modify the slug with a simple slug generator or append a timestamp to ensure uniqueness. Always validate before publishing to avoid conflicts.
You can use API keys or OAuth depending on how the Blogs API is configured. If you’re using Zapier, the app will handle the OAuth flow for you and request the necessary scopes to read and write blog data.
For publishing posts, use POST /blogs/posts. To assign categories or set authors, pull data with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and map those fields in Zapier. Updating content can be done with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Yes. You can update existing posts after publishing using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or the post-update endpoint as supported by your setup. Ensure you have the correct postId and permissions.
Permissions and scopes determine what you can read or write. If a needed endpoint isn’t accessible, adjust scopes or request access from your GHL admin. Endpoints like slug check, categories, and authors are typically read-only.
Test end-to-end by creating a draft post, validating the slug, publishing in a test environment, and confirming the post appears on the blog. Use Zapier’s test action steps to simulate real data flows and verify field mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
