GHL uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys for access. Start by creating an API client in your GHL account and granting the Blogs API scope. Store tokens securely and rotate as needed.
In Zapier, add a new connection for Blogs API and supply credentials from GHL. Choose OAuth or API key method supported by your connector, then test the connection to verify permissions.
Endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/check-slug.readonly; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New or updated email template in the Email Builder; action: create a blog post draft via POST /blogs/posts

Trigger: A scheduled email is sent; action: update or create a blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/posts
Actions: Update post title and content, set publish date
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, publishDate
Trigger: Draft created in Blogs; action: verify slug using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists

This glossary defines core concepts: APIs, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping used to connect Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
A set of rules that allows one software program to interact with another.
A specific URL path or function on an API that performs an action.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links.
A real-time callback URL that triggers actions when events occur.
When a new email matches a template, Zapier creates a draft blog post with title and excerpt automatically.
Schedule a weekly digest email that creates a corresponding blog post via Blog endpoints.
If a slug already exists, Zapier prompts for alt slug to avoid conflicts.
Create API credentials in GHL and configure your Zapier connection; test the connection to ensure permissions are correct.
Select blog endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and map to triggers and actions in Zapier.
Run end-to-end tests, check API call logs in Zapier, then deploy to production with alerts.
The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to manage emails and blog content, so you can automate publishing workflows. By using Zapier App Connector, you can trigger creation of posts from emails, schedule posts, and validate slugs without coding.
No heavy coding is required. Use the Zapier interface to connect the Blogs API endpoints to triggers and actions. You will configure API credentials and map fields; tests verify the connection.
Best endpoints for blogs include POST /blogs/posts for creating, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug checks. For slug validation, use blogs/check-slug.readonly and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Use Zapier’s test feature or sandbox environment to run sample triggers and actions. Review API response codes and adjust field mappings accordingly.
Yes. Zapier can schedule posts by mapping a publish date to the blog post, and using the Blog endpoints to set publish time. Combine with the email schedule to automate weekly or daily posts.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication. Choose the method that fits your security needs. Store tokens securely and rotate regularly; restrict scopes to the Blogs API.
GHL API documentation is available in your GHL developer portal. Look for Blogs endpoints and authentication details. If you need additional guidance, consult Rankr’s support docs for step-by-step setup with Zapier.
