Blogs API uses standard OAuth 2.0 flows and API tokens. Set up a secure connection in your GHL app or integration layer to authorize requests and protect your data.
Zapier connects via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. When wiring the Blogs API, authorize the Zapier app once to enable seamless triggers and actions without further prompts.
Representative endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder/data; GET blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/author.readonly; POST /blogs/post-update.write; and related endpoints for slug checks, category and author data. The full list is available in the API reference.
Trigger: A new or updated blog post is created in Blogs API (e.g., when Everhour approves content).
Actions: Create or update a blog post in GHL, check slug availability, and set publish date.
GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts; POST /blogs/posts to create or update a post.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId, publishDate, status
Trigger: When a new post is created with a proposed slug.
Actions: Check slug existence, assign category, and publish or schedule the post.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: slug, exists, suggestedSlug, categoryId
Trigger: Content draft completed in Zapier workflow.
Actions: Create blog post in Blogs API and schedule publish date; update slug and metadata.
POST /blogs/posts
Fields: title, content, slug, publishDate, authorId, categoryId, status
Automate cross-platform publishing without writing a line of code.
Reduce manual data entry by mapping fields between GHL and Zapier triggers.
Easily monitor errors and adjust workflows from a single dashboard.
This section defines core elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and error handling to help you build reliable automations.
A set of rules that lets one software program communicate with another.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, like retrieving or creating a post.
A standard authorization framework that enables secure access to resources without sharing passwords.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, used in the post URL.
Automatically push vetted posts from Everhour into GHL using the Blogs API to ensure timely publication.
Validate slugs and map categories before posting to guarantee consistent URLs and taxonomy.
Turn draft content into published posts with a single Zapier workflow, reducing manual steps.
In Zapier, create a new connection to Blogs API and authorize the app to access your GHL data.
Run a quick test to verify endpoints respond and data maps correctly.
Choose a trigger and set up actions to automate publishing and updates.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens. Start by creating a secure connection in Zapier to authorize the Blogs API, then grant your app the needed scopes. Keep tokens secret and rotate credentials periodically to maintain security. In GHL, store credentials securely and avoid embedding keys in workflows.
For blogging workflows, the most useful endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. Additional endpoints for categories and authors help map metadata and ensure proper organization.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. If a slug exists, you can prompt for a different slug or automatically generate a unique variant. This helps maintain clean URLs and prevents conflicts.
The Blogs API supports retrieving author data (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/author.readonly) and assigning authors to posts. You can map multiple authors in your workflow and manage permissions through the Zapier app connection.
Map fields by aligning post title, content, slug, publishDate, and metadata between the Blogs API and Zapier triggers. Use data mappings in Zapier to translate GHL fields to the API payload and vice versa, ensuring data integrity across systems.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts from Zapier. You can modify title, content, publish date, or metadata. Ensure postId is available from the initial fetch or created post response to reference during updates.
Error details appear in the Zapier task history and in the Blogs API error responses. Enable verbose logging in your Zapier connection and review API response codes, messages, and any field-level errors to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
