To begin, generate an API key in GHL for the Blogs API and grant permission for the Zapier App Connector to access your data. Use OAuth where available or a secure API key to establish a trusted connection.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to your GHL account by following the prompts in your Zapier dashboard and selecting the Blogs API integration. Complete any required OAuth flows or key exchanges to finalize the link.

This glossary defines core terms used when integrating the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enables software components to communicate.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and slugs.
A specific route in an API that performs a defined action.
A real-time notification mechanism that triggers external workflows when an event occurs.
When a new post is created in Blogs API, automatically push updates to social networks via Zapier.
Aggregate fresh posts and assemble a newsletter draft for sending in campaigns.
Convert post outlines into tasks or notes in your project management tool for faster production.
Authorize both the Blogs API from GHL and the Zapier App Connector within their respective dashboards.
Choose the data fields (title, content, slug) and pair the endpoints you’ll use for posts, categories, and authors.
Run tests in Zapier to confirm correct data flow, then enable the workflow for production.
The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to manage email builders and blog content, enabling programmatic creation, retrieval, and updates. It allows you to publish posts, manage categories and authors, and validate slugs. This API is designed to integrate with automation tools like Zapier to streamline content workflows.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (blogs/posts), updating content (blogs/post-update.write), and checking or retrieving categories and authors (blogs/categories, blogs/authors). These allow you to assemble a complete publish-and-sync workflow across your marketing stack.
Authentication typically relies on an API key or OAuth flow. In Zapier, you’ll authorize the GHL Blogs API connection, then handshakes ensure that data is securely transmitted between systems. Always follow best practices for key storage and rotation.
Yes. By mapping the blogs endpoints to Zapier actions, you can trigger updates when a post changes, or schedule regular syncs to propagate edits to downstream apps, ensuring content consistency across platforms.
Required fields for creating a post usually include title, content, slug, and at least one category or tag. Optional fields can include author, publish date, and status. Validations help maintain clean URLs and proper indexing.
Slug validation ensures the URL is unique and readable. You can check existence via endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and adjust your slug generation logic within your workflow to avoid duplicates.
For deeper endpoint details, refer to the endpoint list provided in this guide. Each endpoint includes its method, path, and typical use cases to help you design robust automations with the Zapier App Connector.
