To start, obtain your API credentials from the Blogs API portal. Use the API key or OAuth token to authenticate requests to endpoints like GET emails/builder or POST blogs/posts. Store credentials securely in Zapier.
In Zapier, add the Blogs API connection using the account you configured. The connection will use the GHL scope emails/builder.readonly by default, with optional write scopes as needed.
Endoints covered include emails and blogs routes such as GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts, and more. This section highlights the most useful paths for no-code automation; for a full list, see the endpoints section below.
Trigger: a new post is created via POST /blogs/posts and immediately generate an email draft with POST /emails/builder to reach readers.
Actions: create an email draft from post fields, map title and excerpt to subject and body, then queue or send.
POST /blogs/posts; POST /emails/builder
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: a time-based schedule to publish or update a post using endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: create or update posts, check slug availability, and optionally notify readers via email.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
postId, slug, title, content, scheduledTime
Trigger: map authors and categories to posts using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Actions: fetch authors and categories, then assign authorId and categoryId on new posts with POST /blogs/posts or update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
authorId, categoryId
No coding required. Build end-to-end blog publishing and email workflows with simple triggers and actions.
Centralize content workflows by connecting blogs, emails, and schedules in a single no-code flow.
Test, refine, and deploy automations without touching code, then monitor with Zapier run history.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, payloads, and data mappings used to drive the Blogs API + Zapier App Connector integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software components communicate.
A specific URL path to access a resource in the API (for example, GET /blogs/authors).
An event in one system that starts an automation in another (for example, a new blog post is created).
A URL-friendly version of the post title used in the URL.
Build a monthly digest by pulling new posts via POST /blogs/posts and sending via POST /emails/builder with a generated subject line.
Use Zapier to convert form submissions into new blog posts using POST /blogs/posts and map fields accordingly.
Automatically link authorId from GET /blogs/authors to new posts created via POST /blogs/posts.
In GHL, generate an API key; in Zapier, add a new Blogs API connection using those credentials.
Select endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and POST /emails/builder, then map title, content, authorId, and categoryId.
Run tests, verify results, and enable automation in your Zapier workflow.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that connect to Blogs API endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and POST /emails/builder. You can assemble automations with drag-and-drop steps without writing code. In addition, test mode in Zapier helps verify data flows before turning the automation live. Paragraph two: Keep credentials secure in Zapier and use the built-in field mapping to pass post data into email content automatically.
For publishing, use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. To send emails, use POST /emails/builder to draft or send emails and GET /emails/builder to review drafts. Paragraph two: Map post fields to email fields (title to subject, excerpt to preview) so audiences receive accurate communications when a post is published.
Map author and category data by first retrieving authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories, then pass authorId and categoryId into POST /blogs/posts. Paragraph two: If mapping from forms or other apps, ensure id fields align with the API and validate on test runs to avoid mismatches.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content after publishing. Paragraph two: You can re-run mappings or adjust fields in Zapier to update titles, bodies, and metadata without recreating the post.
To validate a slug, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. Paragraph two: If the slug exists, auto-increment or prompt for a new slug in the Zapier flow to prevent conflicts.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens for the Blogs API, with Zapier securely storing credentials. The integration can operate under scopes like emails/builder.readonly and emails/builder for read and write access. Paragraph two: Rotate credentials periodically and use separate connections for testing and production.
Yes. This is a no-code solution that uses triggers, actions, and field mappings. Paragraph two: You can run tests, copy data between Blogs API endpoints, and monitor results in Zapier without writing custom code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
