You do not need to write code to use this integration. The setup is GUI driven and guided by prompts you complete in the App Connector. If you run into advanced needs a developer can assist with custom field mappings and complex logic.
Permissions include the Blogs API scope and emails builder readonly in GHL. Ensure the connected app has access to create and read blog data while keeping sensitive scopes restricted. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Yes you can schedule and automate posts through the Blogs API endpoints. Use triggers from Elfsight to create posts and publish on a schedule or based on events.
Rate limits apply to the Blogs API endpoints. Plan retries and implement backoff in your automation to avoid hitting limits during peak publishing times.
Slug conflicts can occur if the same slug is used for different posts. Use the slug check endpoint to verify availability before publish and let the system suggest alternatives when needed.
Support for the Zapier App Connector is available via documentation and community forums. For complex issues you can reach out to support with your integration IDs and logs.
