Authorize access to the Blogs API using credentials from your GHL account. This section covers API keys or OAuth2 setup so Zapier can read and write data safely.
Set up a secure connection in Zapier to the Blogs API, including token management and refresh, to keep your workflows running without interruption.
Available endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: New draft data arrives in Zapier to publish a post in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish; map title, content, slug, author, and categories.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, category_ids
Trigger: Schedule events in Zapier to send emails or publish posts on a timer.
Actions: pull from GET /emails/schedule and POST to /blogs/posts, then notify via emails builder.
GET /emails/schedule
schedule_time, recipient_group_id, email_template_id
Trigger: When a post is created, add tags and categories automatically.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update tags; GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map values.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, tag_ids, category_ids
Automate content publishing and email workflows without writing code.
Keep content and communications synchronized across channels with consistent templates.
Scale operations with reliable triggers, scheduling, and data mapping.
Learn the core terms used in this guide: endpoints, triggers, actions, and common data fields you map between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL that lets you read or write data in Blogs API.
An event in Blogs API that starts a workflow in Zapier App Connector.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a post.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the blog URL.
Create a Zap that moves content from your newsletter tool to Blogs API automatically for instant post publishing.
Aggregate new posts via GET /blogs/posts and assemble into an email in the Emails builder.
Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts, then update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Register your app in both services, obtain tokens, and store securely.
Choose triggers like new post creation or schedule.
Map data fields (title, content, slug, author) and run tests.
You can use endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to read and write blog data. For email-related tasks, endpoints such as GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder let you manage templates and campaigns. Use these to build end-to-end content workflows. Always start with a test in Zapier to ensure data mappings are correct.
Authentication typically involves API keys or OAuth2 tokens provided by your GHL account and the Zapier app. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials as needed, and set scopes to limit access. In Zapier, use the same credentials to authorize each connection and refresh tokens before they expire.
Yes. You can simulate real flows using test data and the built-in test feature in Zapier. This lets you verify triggers, actions, and data mappings without pushing live content. Make sure your test accounts have appropriate permissions to read and write to Blogs API.
Post slugs should be unique and URL-friendly. Use the slug field to ensure consistency with your site URLs. If a slug exists, you can optionally generate an alternate slug or update the post accordingly.
To publish a post you typically need a title and content at minimum. Slug, author_id, and category_ids help ensure proper routing and organization. Include any required fields your workflows depend on to avoid failed posts.
Scheduling is done via the emails/schedule and related endpoints. Define a timestamp, target recipients, and the template to use. Zapier can pull this schedule data and trigger actions at the correct times.
Endpoint documentation is available in your GHL and Blogs API integration guides. Start with the endpoints listed for emails and blogs, then explore optional ones like slug checks and category listings to extend functionality.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
