Automate publishing, updates, and content enrichment without writing code.
Synchronize authors, categories, and SEO elements across platforms with a few clicks.
Scale content workflows by reusing the same endpoints in multiple Zaps.
This section covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields you’ll use to connect the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector in a no-code setup.
Application Programming Interface that allows software components to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined function, such as creating a post.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used for SEO and friendly URLs.
The process of granting access to an API via tokens or keys and managing scopes.
Automatically pull drafts from your CMS into GHL via the Blogs API when a new draft is created.
Populate SEO fields, categories, and author data using endpoint data.
Schedule publish times and automatically update posts across platforms.
Obtain an API key or OAuth token for the Blogs API and configure it in Zapier.
Set up triggers like New Post or Post Updated; map actions to create, update, or fetch posts.
Run tests, verify endpoints, and deploy your Zapier workflow to production.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for posts, authors, and categories, including POST /blogs/posts for creation and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, as well as GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories for metadata. Additionally, you can verify slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique URLs before publishing. This supports robust content automation with no-code tools.
Yes. You can check slug existence before publishing using the slug check endpoint. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and preserves SEO clarity. If the slug exists, you can adjust the title or slug to ensure a unique URL before going live.
Authors and categories are retrieved via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. Use this data to populate author and category fields when creating or updating posts, ensuring accurate metadata and better SEO alignment.
No coding is required to connect via Zapier App Connector; you configure triggers, actions, and endpoints in the Zapier UI. For advanced scenarios, you can use custom fields or webhooks to extend functionality.
You can update a post using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId after publishing. This allows content refreshes, metadata updates, or SEO tweaks without recreating the post. Always reference the postId to target the correct resource.
The Blogs API supports API keys and OAuth tokens with scopes like emails/builder.readonly. Store credentials securely in Zapier and rotate keys periodically to maintain security.
Test your integration in a staging environment by simulating real workflows with sample data. Validate each endpoint’s response, handle errors gracefully, and confirm publishing behavior before going to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
