Authenticate to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials and ensure you have the correct scopes (emails/builder.readonly) granted. This keeps access secure while enabling your automations.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account. The setup uses OAuth 2.0 or API key-based methods depending on the connector configuration to securely authorize access.

Endpoint path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, slug, content, author_id, category_ids
Trigger: a blog post is updated in Blogs API, prompting downstream updates.
Actions: update post content, publish status, and sync metadata across connected apps.
Endpoint path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: new or updated categories/authors in Blogs API.
Actions: create or update categories/authors in connected apps and assign posts accordingly.
Endpoint path: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: category_id, author_id
Automate publishing, scheduling, and distribution without writing code.
Instant data syncing between Blogs API and your favorite tools (email, CMS, analytics) for seamless workflows.
Reusable Zap templates save time and reduce human error in content processes.
A concise glossary of core terms and how they appear in this GHL-to-Zapier integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined action against the Blogs API, such as creating a post or retrieving categories.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The verbs that define the action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) used in API calls.
A listener URL that receives real-time updates from the API when data changes.
Create a Zap that publishes new blog posts to a team channel and sends a summary email.
When you add a post in a planning doc, automatically create a draft in Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts.
Use endpoints to verify slug availability and alert when conflicts arise.
In Zapier, choose the Zapier App Connector and authenticate using your GHL credentials to establish a secure link.
Select a trigger (for example, new blog post) and map to actions (such as post creation) using the available endpoints.
Run test requests, verify data flow, and deploy to automate your workflows.
You typically authenticate using OAuth 2.0 via the Zapier App Connector or with API keys provided by GHL. The exact method depends on how your connector is configured. After authentication, run a test to verify the connection and permissions. Ensure the connected scopes cover the actions you plan to automate, such as reading emails or posting blogs.
Commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Additionally, endpoints for categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors) are frequently used to keep metadata in sync. For email-related workflows, GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data are also handy for coordinating notifications.
No coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map triggers, actions, and fields between Blogs API and your other apps. You can build multi-step workflows using drag-and-drop editors. If you need deeper logic, you can supplement with simple filters and formatters available in Zapier.
The example scope shown is emails/builder.readonly, but depending on your setup you may also need write access and blog scopes (blogs/post.write, blogs/posts, etc.). Align scopes with the endpoints you plan to use to avoid over-permissioning. Always follow the principle of least privilege and revoke unused scopes when possible.
Yes. You can set up automated syncing for categories and authors by polling or triggering on creation/update events (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). This keeps your taxonomy and author data consistent across connected apps. Regularly scheduled syncs help maintain data accuracy with minimal manual effort.
Test your Zap in Zapier using the built-in Test action for each step. Validate that data maps correctly from Blogs API to downstream apps and that endpoints respond as expected. After successful tests, enable the Zap in your production environment and monitor initial runs for any edge cases.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
