Set up credentials, grant the necessary scopes, and establish a trusted connection so data can flow between Blogs API and your GHL-enabled workflows in Zapier.
Create and configure your Zapier App Connector integration within Blogs API, enabling triggers and actions for blog data movement and automation.
Blogs-related endpoints include: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /emails/builder, GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId.
Trigger: when a new blog draft is created in Blogs API, initiating a Zapier workflow to publish and notify.
Actions: create post with POST /blogs/posts, update slug with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and post-publish notifications via emails using POST /emails/builder.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, category_id, author_id, slug, status.
Trigger: a post is updated in Blogs API, prompting a sync and scheduling workflow in Zapier App Connector.
Actions: update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, optionally re-publish, and adjust scheduling.
Methods: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: postId, title, content, status, slug.
Trigger: a blog post is published in Blogs API, triggering subscriber notifications.
Actions: send emails via POST /emails/builder, customize templates, and track opens/clicks.
Methods: POST /emails/builder to send; GET /emails/builder to manage drafts.
Key fields: templateId, recipientList, postSlug, subject, body.
Build powerful blog automation without writing code—just connect endpoints and map fields.
Rapidly deploy workflows with prebuilt triggers and actions that suit blogging and email needs.
Centralize content workflows across blogs, editors, and subscriber communications in one place.
Essential terms and processes: API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, data mapping, and error handling to help you design robust integrations.
A URL path used to perform an action against a service (e.g., GET /blogs/posts).
The process of verifying identity to authorize access to data and actions.
An event in one system that starts an automation in another (e.g., a new blog post draft).
An operation performed in response to a trigger (e.g., create post or send email).
Set up a trigger on new drafts in Blogs API and automatically publish to your blog, then share a summary to subscribers via email.
Filter by category or channel and route posts to multiple blogs or newsletters with tailored templates.
Schedule posts ahead of time, trigger reminders for editors, and auto-publish when approvals are received.
Obtain your Blogs API key and ensure scopes include posts, categories, authors, and emails as needed.
Create triggers and actions that map blog fields to Zapier fields and test each flow thoroughly.
Run end-to-end tests, review logs, and deploy to production with monitoring alerts.
You can automate the entire blog lifecycle—from drafting to publishing and notifying subscribers—without writing code, using Blogs API endpoints and Zapier App Connector triggers. This enables consistent publishing workflows and real-time updates across platforms. With templated emails and post creation, teams stay aligned and readers stay engaged. In practice, you can connect a draft in Blogs API to a Zap that publishes it to a live post and sends a notification email to your subscribers, all within minutes.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to map fields, configure triggers, and define actions. You can leverage the predefined endpoints listed in the integration to move data between Blogs API and your apps seamlessly. Advanced users can still customize field mappings and workflows using conditional logic, but the core setup remains no-code friendly.
For basic publishing, you’ll primarily use POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. You may also reference GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with accurate metadata. Email notifications typically use POST /emails/builder to compose and send messages.
Authentication should be performed via secure API keys and OAuth where available, with scopes limited to the minimum required for your workflow. Store keys in a safe vault and rotate credentials periodically. Use encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data in transit and monitor for abnormal access patterns.
Yes. You can coordinate scheduling of posts with email notifications. Create a workflow that publishes the post at a chosen time and triggers an email sequence to your subscribers using the emails endpoints. This ensures readers receive timely updates aligned with your editorial calendar.
Rate limits depend on the Blogs API and the Zapier plan you use. Plan for bursts around large campaigns and implement retry logic with exponential backoff. Use batch operations where supported and consider caching static data like categories and authors when possible to reduce repetitive calls.
Yes. Explore example templates and starter workflows in the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector documentation. You can adapt these templates to fit your publishing cadence, audience segmentation, and notification strategies. Community examples are a great way to accelerate your setup.
