To authorize the GHL Blogs API with Zapier App Connector, perform an OAuth 2.0 flow and grant the app access to blog posts, authors, categories, and slug checks. Ensure the connected app has the appropriate scopes for read/write operations.
In Zapier, connect the app by selecting the GHL Blogs integration and following prompts to authorize access using the token provided by your GHL account. This keeps data secure and synced across tools.
• GET blogs/author.readonly — Read access to blog authors.\n• GET /blogs/authors — List all authors.\n• GET blogs/category.readonly — Read category details.\n• GET /blogs/categories — Retrieve all blog categories.\n• GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — Check if a blog slug exists.\n• POST /blogs/posts — Create a new blog post.\n• PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — Update an existing post by ID.\n• POST /blogs/post-update.write — Write updates to blog posts.\n• GET blogs/check-slug.readonly — Validate slug availability.
When a new blog post is created in GHL, Zapier can trigger downstream workflows (e.g., notification, distribution, or analytics).
Actions include creating posts in other systems, updating metadata, or routing the post to teams for review.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, publishedAt
Trigger on post updates in GHL to propagate changes elsewhere.
Actions include syncing edited content, updating SEO data, and re-publishing across platforms.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger on slug checks and author lookups to ensure consistency before publishing.
Actions include validating slug with /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetching author data via /blogs/authors.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug

Automatically generate draft blog posts in GHL when new triggers fire in Zapier, then route for review before publishing.
Pull author and category data into Zapier for richer automation workflows and tagging.
Validate slug uniqueness prior to creation, then publish with SEO-friendly URLs.
Complete the OAuth flow to grant the Zapier App Connector access to GHL Blogs resources.
Select needed endpoints (posts, authors, categories, slug checks) and map fields to Zapier triggers/actions.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data sync, and enable production automation.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication when connecting the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector. Start by creating an OAuth client in GHL, then authorize Zapier to access blog resources with the necessary scopes for reading and writing posts, authors, and categories. If you ever need to refresh tokens, you can re-authenticate through the same flow. For security, keep tokens confidential and use production credentials in live automations.\n\nIf your organization requires a different authentication approach, consult the GHL documentation for alternative methods and ensure your app complies with all security guidelines.
For basic blog automation, you’ll typically use creating posts and updating posts. Core endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can also validate slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. To enrich automation, pull supporting data with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. If you need to validate a slug before creation, the GET blogs/check-slug.readonly endpoint can help.\n\nAs you scale, consider adding triggers for published status changes, or integrating with other content systems to coordinate multi-channel distribution.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug is already in use. The endpoint returns a boolean-like result indicating existence, enabling you to generate a unique slug if needed. This helps prevent publish conflicts and preserves SEO-friendly URLs.\n\nIf a slug exists, you can modify it by appending a unique suffix or timestamp, then proceed with creation or update using the appropriate endpoint.
To create a post from Zapier, use POST /blogs/posts with fields like title, content, slug, and optional metadata. To update, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the postId and the updated fields. You can trigger these actions from Zapier whenever your workflow dictates (e.g., when a new lead converts or a draft is approved).\n\nEnsure your Zapier mapping aligns with the required fields for your GHL setup and handle errors gracefully (e.g., slug collisions or missing required fields).
At minimum, you should provide a title and content for a new post. Depending on your workflow, you may also include slug, categoryId, authorId, and publication status. Optional fields such as featuredImage and tags can enrich the post and improve SEO. Always map your trigger data to the corresponding GHL Blog fields.\n\nIf a field is omitted, you can rely on sensible defaults or a follow-up step to fill in missing information before publishing.
Yes. No-code automation lets you automate blog creation, updates, and data enrichment without writing code. The Zapier App Connector provides ready-made triggers and actions that you can configure visually, making it accessible to non-developers.\n\nThis approach accelerates publishing workflows, improves consistency across channels, and reduces manual data-entry errors by standardizing how content moves between systems.
End-to-end documentation for the Blogs API endpoints is available within the integration guide, including post, author, category, and slug-check endpoints. Additionally, the GHL account settings page will list available endpoints and required scopes for your connected app. If you’re unsure which endpoints to enable, start with posts, authors, categories, and slug checks and expand as your automation needs grow.\n\nIf you need a quick reference, use the ENDPOINTLIST section in this guide to see the most commonly used endpoints and their purposes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
