Authenticate to the Blogs API using a secure API key or OAuth 2.0 flow. Ensure the token has the necessary scope (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) and that you store credentials securely in your GHL developer console.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 for most connections. During setup, authorize access to your Blogs API and save the connection securely in Zapier.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, and GET /blogs/posts. These endpoints enable drafting, publishing, slug validation, and category/author retrieval for seamless content automation.
Trigger: new outline or idea appears in your source app; Action: create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts with title, content, and slug.
Actions: map fields like title, content, slug, author, and category; validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before create.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: post updates in your source system; Action: update existing post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: map postId, updated title or content, and optional metadata; ensure slug consistency with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, tags
Trigger: new posts are detected in the Blogs API; Action: fetch via GET /blogs/posts and optionally verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: retrieve posts, filter by category or status, and push updates to connected apps; use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for enrichment.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, slug, title
Build end-to-end automation without writing a line of code; drag-and-drop triggers and actions in Zapier handle the workflow.
Visual workflow design makes mapping fields and endpoints intuitive, reducing setup time and errors.
No-code changes propagate across connected apps, keeping posts, schedules, and categories in sync automatically.
Understand endpoints (API paths and methods), triggers, actions, authentication, key fields, and slug management as you build your workflows.
A specific URL path combined with an HTTP method that performs a defined function on the API (e.g., GET /blogs/posts).
An event that starts a Zapier workflow, such as a new post draft or a post update.
An operation executed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a blog post.
A URL-friendly, unique identifier for a blog post used to form its permalink.
Use outlines stored in another app to auto-create complete blog posts in Blogs API via a Zapier trigger and POST /blogs/posts.
Publish new posts to a CMS, social channels, and email campaigns in one workflow using multiple actions.
When content changes in your CMS, automatically update the corresponding post in Blogs API via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Generate an API key or OAuth 2.0 credentials from the GHL developer console and securely store them in Zapier and your app vault.
Choose a trigger such as new outline or post update, and map fields to your blog post schema.
Add actions like create post, update post, and slug check; run tests to verify end-to-end flow.
No-code is a core benefit of this integration. Use Zapier’s visual builder to connect triggers and actions between the Blogs API and other apps without writing code. Map fields like title, content, and slug to ensure consistent post creation. Test the workflow to confirm data maps correctly and posts publish as intended.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. You’ll also want GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata before publishing.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including a publish timestamp in the create post action (POST /blogs/posts) or by orchestrating a separate delay step in Zapier. The endpoint itself supports setting publish times if your flow requires it.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
