Key terms and processes to understand how Blogs API, endpoints, and Zapier App Connector work together.
A collection of endpoints for managing blog content, categories, authors, and publishing via GHL.
An integration layer that connects GHL API endpoints to Zapier workflows for automation.
URIs that expose specific functions, such as creating, updating, or retrieving blogs or emails.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post in a web address.
Create a Zap that publishes new drafts from your content source to your blog in GHL with a single click.
Link updated email templates to automatically refresh corresponding blog posts and keep messaging aligned.
Use a workflow to generate and validate slugs for new posts before publishing.
In Zapier, choose Blogs API and authenticate using your GHL API credentials; ensure the scope matches your needs.
Select a trigger such as ‘New blog post’ to start automations.
Map fields and choose actions like create or update a blog post or email template.
The Blogs API integration with Zapier lets you automate blog publishing and management by connecting GHL endpoints to Zapier workflows. This enables triggers such as a new blog post to start an automation without manual steps. You can also read and update blog data from within Zapier to keep content synchronized across systems. The setup uses the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector to streamline publishing, editing, and retrieval tasks in a no-code environment.
Yes. You can schedule blog posts using a combination of triggers and actions in Zapier. By selecting a schedule-based trigger or a future publishing action, you can queue posts to publish at specific times. This helps maintain consistent publishing without manual intervention.
For basic publishing, you typically need endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. You may also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique URLs. Rendering metadata like categories and authors often requires GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
No code is required to run common automations. Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to map fields and define triggers and actions. If more complex logic is needed, you can add filters or multi-step paths, but coding is not necessary.
Slug uniqueness is commonly checked using a slug existence endpoint such as GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. You can automate slug generation by deriving one from the post title and validating it before creating the post.
Authentication is handled securely via OAuth or API tokens. Zapier stores credentials safely and transmits them over secure channels. Use least-privilege access and rotate credentials regularly for best security.
The API endpoints are outlined in the endpoint list and documented within theBlogs API section of your GHL account. In Zapier, you will see the available actions and triggers mapped to these endpoints. If you need help, support is available to assist with endpoint usage.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
