Authenticate calls to the Blogs API with OAuth 2.0 tokens and API keys. Store credentials securely in Zapier and rotate them regularly.
Freshsales Classic connections use API tokens or OAuth within Zapier. After you authorize, map fields securely and test the connection.
Key endpoints for blog management include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/post.update.

Fast onboarding with the Zapier App Connector
This glossary defines common terms and outlines the core steps to connect the GHL Blogs API with Freshsales Classic, including authentication, endpoints, triggers, and actions.
API stands for Application Programming Interface and enables different software to communicate.
A URL you can configure to receive real-time notifications when events occur.
An authorization framework that grants limited access tokens between apps.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and slugs.
Whenever a post goes live, create a corresponding note in the related contact or deal to capture reader interest.
Schedule publishing in sync with launches and push update reminders to the CRM timeline.
Pull author metadata into contact profiles to personalize outreach and content campaigns.
Create a Zapier connection: select Blogs API as the trigger app and Freshsales Classic as the action app, then authorize the accounts.
Choose a trigger like New Blog Post and actions like Create Note or Update Contact.
Run tests, verify field mappings, and enable the workflow in production.
Authentication for the Blogs API is typically done via OAuth 2.0 or an API key. In Zapier, create a connection to your GHL Blogs API and authorize it to access endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors. Keep tokens confidential and rotate credentials every 90 days. If needed, use scoped tokens to limit permissions for security.
Yes. No-code automation with Zapier lets you connect the Blogs API to Freshsales Classic without writing code. You can configure triggers and actions, map fields, and test the workflow. For more complex scenarios, you can add conditional logic and multi-step paths to handle different blog cases.
For a basic sync, use GET /blogs/posts to pull posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories. Map key fields like postId, title, slug, and author to CRM fields to keep data aligned.
Slug conflicts can occur when two posts share the same slug. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate uniqueness before creating or updating. If duplicates appear, apply a slug suffix policy or update the slug programmatically.
The update frequency depends on your workflow. Zapier can poll at set intervals or trigger on events. You can run checks hourly or opt for real-time updates for published posts to keep the CRM in sync.
Yes. You can map author fields to CRM contacts. Pull author data from GET /blogs/authors and attach it to contact records in Freshsales to enrich profiles and improve segmentation and outreach.
API rate limits and quotas depend on your plan. Check your GHL Blogs API limits, and implement retries with backoff. If you approach limits, throttle requests and batch updates to maintain reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
