The Zapier App Connector lets you connect Blogs API to automate content workflows without writing code. You can trigger actions when a new post is created and push data to downstream apps like CMS or email systems.
Scopes define access levels for the connected app. For Blogs API you typically need read and write access to posts and categories. Always grant the minimum scope needed for your automation to minimize risk.
Yes you can create and publish posts from Zapier using POST /blogs/posts. You can also update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as part of your workflow.
Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug is already in use. If the slug exists you should generate a new one before creating the post.
Developer access is not strictly required for basic automations, but you may need access to API docs and keys. If your organization restricts API usage, contact your admin to grant necessary permissions.
API docs for the Blogs API are available in the developer portal for your GHL account. The docs cover endpoint details, auth methods and payload examples.
If authentication fails recheck credentials ensure you are using the correct OAuth token or API key and that the token has the required scopes. Also verify environment and active connection in Zapier App Connector.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
