Authenticate to the Blogs API by presenting your GHL API credentials in your requests. Use a Bearer token or API key as required by your setup, and keep credentials secure.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API app using OAuth 2.0 or an API token supported by the connector to securely authorize zaps and workflows.

Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts).
Actions include creating/updating posts, fetching author and category data, and routing post details into downstream apps via the Zapier workflow.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishedDate
Trigger when a post is updated via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions push updated post data to connected apps, refresh slug validation, and re-sync metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, updatedAt
Trigger when preparing to create a new post by verifying URL slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions prevent duplicates by validating slug, and then proceed to create the post with POST /blogs/posts.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Full automation without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Seamless data mapping between Blogs API fields and Zapier actions for consistent workflows.
Rapid experimentation with creative ideas using ready-made triggers and actions.
The integration involves authentication, endpoint access, triggers, actions, data mapping, and error handling. Understanding these pieces helps you design reliable flows.
A programming interface that allows different software systems to communicate by exchanging structured data over HTTP.
A user-defined HTTP callback triggered by events in another service, enabling real-time notifications.
A specific URL path exposed by an API to perform a defined operation and return data.
An authorization framework that grants access tokens to clients, enabling secure API requests without sharing credentials.
When a new post is published, automatically generate a brief summary and push it to an email template in the Emails API to notify readers.
Map blog category data to CRM contact fields and keep categories aligned with your audience segments.
Retrieve author details and populate author bios in downstream apps to enhance post context.
In Zapier, add the Blogs API app and authorize access using your credentials.
Select a trigger like New Blog Post and an action like Create Post, then map fields.
Test the workflow to ensure data flows correctly, then activate the zap.
Flow-Team with Blogs API and Zapier App Connector lets you automate blog publishing, updates, and distribution without writing code. You can trigger workflows when a new post is created and route post data to downstream tools like email templates or CRM systems. This approach helps teams stay consistent while speeding up content operations. In practice, you configure a Zap that uses Blogs API triggers and actions to publish content, attach metadata (author, category), and push summaries to emails or dashboards, all in a no-code environment.
No traditional coding is required to set up the basic workflows. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder where you select triggers and actions and map fields from Blogs API responses. For more advanced scenarios, you can still leverage custom logic steps or conditional paths within Zapier if your team needs complex routing.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors enrich posts with metadata. Depending on your use case, you might also pull email templates and schedule data via emails endpoints to automate distribution alongside blog content.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug is already in use before creating a post. If the slug exists, you can either modify it or choose an alternative slug. In Zapier, you can add a conditional step that halts the flow if a slug collision is detected, preventing duplicate posts from being published.
Authenticate to Blogs API with your GHL credentials (API key or OAuth token) and connect the Blogs API app in Zapier using OAuth 2.0 or an API token supported by the connector. Keep credentials secure by using Vaults or encrypted storage in your automation platform and rotate tokens as recommended.
Categories can be fetched via GET /blogs/categories, and authors via GET /blogs/authors. You can then map these to fields in downstream apps or use them to enrich posts before publishing. This data helps maintain context and improves segmentation in marketing, editorial workflows, and reporting.
Yes. You can update posts after publishing using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. After updating, re-publish the content or adjust metadata as needed and ensure downstream systems reflect the changes. Consider setting up a scheduled check to verify consistency across connected applications and alert your team if discrepancies are detected.
