Access to the Blogs API requires a valid GHL access token with the necessary scope. Use your GHL credentials to generate a token and pass it in your API requests.
Authenticate through the Zapier app using OAuth 2.0 or an API key flow as configured in your App Connector settings, then test the connection.

Drag-and-drop workflow builder eliminates custom code.
Prebuilt API actions for posts, categories, and authors accelerate setup.
Fast testing with live endpoints ensures quick results.
Glossary terms and processes to help you understand how GHL Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector work together.
Application Programming Interface – a set of rules that allows applications to communicate and share data.
Slug is the URL-friendly version of a blog post title used in URLs.
An API endpoint is a specific route that performs a defined action, such as retrieving categories or creating a post.
Authentication verifies who you are and grants access to API resources, typically via tokens or OAuth.
Set up a workflow that publishes posts to Blogs API when a new draft is created in your CMS, complete with category and author mapping.
Create a workflow that pulls latest categories and authors into Zapier for smarter routing and tagging.
Enhance posts with SEO metadata fields automatically using endpoint data such as slug and title.
Register your app in GHL and generate client ID and client secret to enable OAuth or API key flows.
Set the required scope and permissions in both GHL and Zapier app settings and test authentication.
Run a quick connection test and create a sample Zap to publish a post and retrieve categories.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for posts, categories, and authors, including creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), retrieving categories (GET /blogs/categories), and getting author data (GET /blogs/authors).
Authentication is handled via your GHL access token or OAuth flow configured in your Zapier app. Ensure the token includes the necessary scopes for reading and writing blog data.
Yes. You can create new posts with POST /blogs/posts and manage updates with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Check the slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to see if a slug is already in use before attempting to publish.
Permissions come from your GHL account and the app’s configured scopes; the example here uses read/write access to blogs data.
Yes—use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull up categories and author data for routing and enrichment.
If you encounter a failed connection, re-authenticate, verify scopes, and test endpoints in the Zapier app; consult logs for error details.
