To securely call Blogs API from Zapier, configure OAuth 2.0 with client credentials or use an API key as supported by your GHL developer portal. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly to maintain access.
In Zapier, set up a connection for the Blogs API integration using OAuth or API key-based auth as supported. Keep credentials in a secure vault and refresh tokens as needed to maintain seamless automation.
Key endpoints you may leverage include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use these to create, update, and query blog content, categories, and authors within your Zapier workflows.
Trigger a new blog post in Blogs API when a form is submitted, an RSS feed updates, or a marketing workflow fires. Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post content and publish via your chosen path.
Actions include publish, update, or delete posts. Map form fields to title, content, slug, and category, then use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Schedule regular syncs or trigger on updates to ensure local records reflect Blogs API categories and authors. Fetch with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Update local mappings in your app with responses from the endpoints and keep slug and IDs in sync.
GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId, slug
Use triggers for draft status changes or comment events and verify post slugs before publishing. Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, slug
Build powerful automations without writing code. Connect blogs content to your workflows with ready-made triggers and actions.
Move faster to market by automating publishing, updates, and metadata syncing across tools you use daily.

Familiarize yourself with the core terms: authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings that power the Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL in GHL that performs a defined action, such as creating a post or fetching categories.
The process of proving identity to access endpoints, typically via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
An event that starts an automation, such as a new post draft or a form submission.
A URL-friendly string that uniquely identifies a blog post and is used in URL routing.
Automatically create and publish posts from external feeds or form submissions using the Blogs API endpoints.
Sync planned posts with your editorial calendar and automate reminders and status updates.
Validate and enforce unique slugs before publishing to improve search visibility.
Create your app in Zapier, obtain credentials, and authorize with the Blogs API through the GHL developer portal.
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories, then map fields such as title, content, author, and category.
Run tests for triggers and actions, verify data flows correctly, and publish the integration to your team.
The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints for managing blog content, including posts, categories, and authors. It enables reading, creating, updating, and validating blog data within your automation workflows. This API is designed to work with Zapier App Connector to streamline publishing and content operations without manual steps. It supports common REST methods and slug validation to prevent duplicates.
Available endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), fetching categories (GET /blogs/categories), and listing authors (GET /blogs/authors). You can also check slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to ensure unique URLs before publishing. Some endpoints are optional depending on your workflow.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that map to the Blogs API endpoints. You configure the app, connect your GHL account, and map fields to automate publishing, updates, and metadata synchronization.
Authentication is typically handled with OAuth 2.0 or an API key. In Zapier, you establish a connection using the required credentials, then reference that connection in your workflows. Rotate credentials periodically for security.
A slug is a URL-friendly string derived from a post title used to identify the blog page. Ensuring unique slugs prevents content duplication and helps with search engine optimization and clean URL structures.
Yes. You can synchronize categories and authors by pulling data from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and updating your app’s local records. This enables consistent filtering and attribution across your content workflows.
