Create and securely store your API credentials, set the required scopes, and authorize the Blogs API within Zapier to start automating.
Configure Zapier’s app authentication to securely connect to the GHL Blogs endpoints and protect your data during exchanges.
Core endpoints used include: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts (list), POST /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and related read/write endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Trigger: when a new article is added in your CMS or content calendar to automatically create a post in the Blogs API.
Actions: compose post content in Zapier, attach metadata, and publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Endpoints used: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate a slug.
Key fields: title, content, slug, category_ids, author_id, status.
Trigger: data sync from your CMS or editorial calendar to refresh post content.
Actions: update post content and metadata via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or use POST /blogs/post-update.write for bulk updates.
Endpoints used: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Fields: postId, title, content, slug, category_ids, author_id, status.

In most cases you do not need to write code. Zapier provides a visual builder to connect the Blogs API endpoints via triggers and actions. You configure authentication once and then assemble steps using simple field mappings. If you have a custom data source, you can still use Zapier’s built-in actions to transform fields before sending them to the API.
For publishing workflows, the most useful endpoints are POST /blogs/posts to create a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. You may also pull categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to ensure proper attribution.
Map fields like title, content, slug, category_ids, and author_id from yourZap templates to the corresponding API fields. Use Zapier’s built-in formatter to adjust date formats or text blocks, then pass them into the Blogs API requests. Testing helps confirm the mappings produce the expected post data.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update an existing post. You can update title, content, categories, slug, or status. Consider adding a step to check slug availability before updating to avoid conflicts.
Slug checks are handled with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly. This lets you verify uniqueness before creating or updating posts, preventing duplicate slugs in your blog.
Authors and categories can be synced by querying GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then caching or mapping the results in Zapier. This ensures posts reference valid author and category IDs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
