Access to the Blogs API is secured with OAuth2 or API tokens. Ensure your token is scoped to the required endpoints (emails/builder.readonly and blogs) and that you follow the Scope: emails/builder.readonly.
Connect using OAuth 2.0 or a dedicated API key for the Zapier App Connector. Follow the platform’s prompts to authorize the connection and test permissions.
Core endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new draft is ready or based on a campaign trigger, then create a post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions to perform include: create posts, update posts using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger on schedule to fetch posts and push summaries into email campaigns.
Use actions like GET /blogs/posts and GET emails/builder to assemble newsletters; use POST /emails/builder/data for templates.
GET /blogs/authors
postId, authorId, scheduleTime, emailTemplateId
When new categories or authors are added, update your content system and mappings.
Actions include listing categories/authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; assign to posts.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Build end-to-end workflows without writing code, using triggers, actions, and data mapping between Blogs API and emails.
Automate publishing, email campaigns, and post updates with scheduled workflows.
Centralize content and audience data across tools with minimal setup.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication methods, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect GHL’s Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
A set of endpoints that allow software to communicate with GHL services.
A URL-safe identifier for blog posts used in links.
A standard authorization framework enabling secure access to APIs.
A callback mechanism that notifies your app when key events occur.
Automatically schedule posts based on campaign milestones and publish times.
Pull new posts into email campaigns and automatically assemble newsletters.
Publish post updates to social and other channels when a post is created or updated.
Grant access to the Blogs API within the Zapier App Connector using the scope required (emails/builder.readonly).
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories, then map fields to your workflow.
Run tests to verify data flow, then enable in your automation.
The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to manage blog posts, categories, and authors, enabling programmatic control from external apps. Use it to automate publishing workflows, sync content with email builders, and keep your site content in sync with your automation stack.
You typically use OAuth or API keys with proper scopes like emails/builder.readonly to limit access. Ensure you grant consent in the Zapier App Connector and test permissions against the endpoints you plan to use.
Endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors are commonly used for content automation. Also consider GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates and DELETE for cleanup where supported.
Yes. The Blogs API supports creating and updating posts as part of automated workflows. Combine with email builders to push newsletters or updates once posts are published.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys; ensure you apply proper scopes. Follow the Zapier prompts to connect and test access to the chosen endpoints.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that map to GHL endpoints. You may need to configure data mappings and field formats, but you can accomplish most tasks with built-in tooling.
Use the platform test tools and sample data to verify triggers fire correctly and fields map as expected. Run a live test to confirm end-to-end data flow before deploying to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
