Access is granted using OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Keep tokens secure and renew when required. After authorizing, test connectivity to endpoints such as GET blogs/posts and GET blogs/authors.
Configure OAuth credentials in Zapier for the Blogs API connection and ensure the scope matches your needs. A successful test will show connected status and allow you to select triggers and actions using endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories.
GET emails/builder; 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; POST /blogs/post-update.write; 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 blog post is created via POST /blogs/posts or by monitoring GET /blogs/posts for new entries, then push updates to connected apps.
Actions include creating post content with POST /blogs/posts, updating the slug with blogs/check-slug.readonly, and assigning categories and author IDs.
POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId
Trigger on updates via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and post update events via POST /blogs/post-update.write
Actions update title, content, tags, and publish state for existing posts
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and POST /blogs/post-update.write
postId, title, slug, content, categoryId
Trigger or schedule to fetch categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Actions list available categories and authors and fetch details for a selected item
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
category_id, name; author_id, name
Automate blog publishing from content calendars into multiple platforms without writing code
Sync blog data in real time across email, CRM, and analytics tools
Reduce manual data entry and improve publishing consistency across teams
A concise glossary of terms and core concepts involved in connecting the GHL Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, including authentication, endpoints, and data fields
An API is a set of endpoints you can call to interact with data and perform operations such as create read update and delete
URIs that expose specific functions in the API. Use HTTP methods like GET POST PUT to perform actions
The process of proving identity and granting access to the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens
A URL friendly string used to identify a resource, often derived from the title
When a new post appears in the Blogs API, automatically share on social networks, email newsletters, and update your site feed via Zapier
Aggregate recent posts and deliver a digest through email or messaging apps on a set schedule
Use content topics to create and assign categories and author tags automatically
Start by granting OAuth permissions and selecting the Blogs API scope emails/builder.readonly to keep read access secure
Choose endpoints like GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors and POST /blogs/posts to map to triggers and actions in Zapier
Run tests review logs and enable automation across your workflows
GHL endpoints are the official routes exposed by the GHL API for interacting with data specifically in your GHL account. App endpoints, in the Zapier App Connector context, are the triggers and actions you map inside Zapier that call those GHL endpoints. Use GHL endpoints to perform CRUD operations while mapping them to Zapier triggers and actions to automate workflows. This separation helps keep authentication and data flows clear and scalable.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to connect to the Blogs API endpoints. You configure OAuth credentials, select endpoints, and define trigger and action mappings. You can build complex automation with multi step workflows without writing code.
Yes. You can fetch categories and authors using the endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. You can then use this data to tag posts, assign authors, and organize content within your automation flows.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0. You authorize the Zapier App Connector to access the Blogs API with the appropriate scope, typically emails/builder.readonly for read access. After authorization, tests confirm connectivity before you start building automations.
Common scopes include emails/builder.readonly for reading email templates and builder endpoints for content. Always grant the minimal scope required for your automation and adjust as your needs evolve.
Zapier provides a task history and run logs for each workflow. You can view details of each trigger and action run, including API responses and any errors encountered, to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
