Authenticate the Blogs API within Zapier App Connector by granting the app the scope emails/builder.readonly and linking your GHL account. Use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys as supported, and keep credentials secure.
During setup, connect Zapier App Connector to your GHL account and select Blogs API to establish a secure integration. Tokens refresh automatically and are stored securely.

Scalable workflows for teams to publish, update, and manage posts at scale
This glossary defines terms used in the GHL Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration to help you design and optimize your workflows.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title, used in the final post URL.
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access the API, typically via OAuth 2.0 tokens.
A callback URL that receives real-time notifications when events occur in an integrated app.
Create a workflow that posts a new draft to social accounts when published in GHL, saving time and expanding reach.
Pull author bios, categories, or SEO data and map them into posts via the Blogs API.
Log changes to posts and slug updates for team transparency and rollback.
Connect Zapier App Connector to your GHL account and select the Blogs API. Review scopes and test the connection.
Choose a trigger like New blog draft and map fields to actions such as Create or Update posts using the available endpoints.
Run a test, validate slug checks, and deploy the workflow to production.
The primary endpoints exposed for Blogs are POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET blogs/check-slug.readonly. These endpoints cover creating, updating, slug checks, and retrieving metadata. The exact subset you use depends on your workflow and which app sources drive your content. The Blogs API also supports data retrieval for categories and authors to enrich posts.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to configure triggers, actions, and API calls. Advanced logic can be added with filters and paths if needed.
Slug conflicts are prevented by verifying availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a post. If a slug exists, you can alter it or let the workflow auto-append a timestamp.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. Ensure you know the postId and map the fields you want to change.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys, depending on setup. The integration uses the GHL account connection in Zapier App Connector to obtain and refresh tokens securely.
The described scope is emails/builder.readonly in this setup. You can request broader scopes if needed, but always follow least privilege and security best practices.
If you encounter issues, run the test connection in Zapier, verify the linked GHL account, confirm endpoint permissions, and check that required fields are correctly mapped. Review error messages for specifics, and consult the logs in Zapier for troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
