Use the required access scopes (emails/builder.readonly for reading data and emails/builder.write for creating or updating posts) to securely authenticate between GHL and the Zapier App Connector.
The App Connector stores and refreshes tokens securely, prompting you to authorize via OAuth or API keys when needed to maintain continuous data flow.
Key endpoints used: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger on new blog posts created in Blogs API to automate publishing, notifications, or social updates.
Actions include creating corresponding records in GHL, updating dashboards, or sending email digests.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id
When a blog post is updated in Blogs API, propagate changes to Zapier workflows.
Update GHL records, notify subscribers, refresh caches.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, updated_title, updated_content, updated_slug
Ensure slug uniqueness before publishing by checking existing slugs.
Prevent duplicate URLs and streamline publishing with a slug-exists validation.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate blog workflows without writing a line of code using visual builders and triggers.
Seamless data flow between Blogs API and your Zapier-centered automation stack.
Rapid deployment with reusable templates and prebuilt actions for publishing, updating, and syncing.
A quick glossary of terms and processes used when integrating GHL’s Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
API means Application Programming Interface—the set of rules that lets one app talk to another to request data or perform actions.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a defined function, such as retrieving posts or updating a post.
A slug is the URL-friendly string derived from a post’s title used in the post URL.
A webhook is a callback URL that receives real-time data pushes from another app.
Automatically generate SEO-friendly titles and meta descriptions when a post is created.
Push new posts to social channels and newsletters with single actions.
Plan and schedule posts by category and author with reminders and triggers.
Connect your GHL API credentials and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your data.
Choose endpoints, map fields, and set up triggers and actions.
Run tests, verify data flow, and publish your automation to production.
No coding is required. Use the Zapier App Connector’s visual builders to connect triggers and actions between Blogs API and your workflows. Map fields from endpoint responses to your destination fields, then save and test the flow.
For publishing, you typically use endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts, and related blog endpoints. Map post fields (title, content, category) to the destination app and set up a publishing trigger.
Slug existence is checked via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Pass the desired slug to confirm availability, and handle conflicts before publishing.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title, content, slug, or metadata. Ensure you pass postId and the fields you want to modify.
API usage generally follows rate limits defined by the Blogs API. Plan for quotas and stagger requests to avoid throttling in higher-traffic workflows.
Scopes determine access levels. For reading data you need emails/builder.readonly; for creating or updating posts you’ll need emails/builder.write. Store tokens securely and rotate them as recommended.
Test the integration in a sandbox or staging environment. Use sample posts, verify field mappings, and confirm successful data transfers before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
