Begin by provisioning a GHL API key or OAuth app with the required scope: emails/builder.readonly. In your Zapier App Connector, configure this credential and authorize the connection. Ensure your GHL account has the Blogs API endpoints enabled for access.
Authorize Zapier App Connector to access your GHL data. During setup, grant the necessary scopes (including emails/builder.readonly) and complete the consent flow to enable seamless data flow between Blogs API and GHL.
GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new or updated email template is detected in GHL Emails Builder.
Actions: Retrieve email templates from GHL, map the fields to Blogs API notification data, and sync status back to GHL.
GET emails/builder
templateId, locationId, name
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Create a corresponding post entry in GHL (blogs/posts) and notify teams via Emails Builder when publishing occurs.
POST /blogs/posts
postId, slug, title
Trigger: A blog draft with a slug is ready to publish.
Actions: Check slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists); if available, publish via POST /blogs/posts and update status; if not, notify the team.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Automate repetitive publishing and notification tasks without writing a line of code, using triggers and actions across GHL and Blogs API.
Speed up content workflows by automatically creating, updating, and distributing posts and alerts.
Scale team collaboration with centralized automation and real-time data sync between systems.
Definitions for terms used in this guide, including GHL, Blogs API, Endpoints, Triggers, Actions, and slug handling.
GHL stands for the GHL API ecosystem. In this article, GHL refers to the platform’s API surface used for integrations.
A defined URL path that performs a specific action against the GHL system, such as retrieving templates or creating posts.
A mechanism for delivering real-time data between apps triggered by events.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used to form the blog post URL.
Set up a Zap to send an email notification whenever a new blog post is published, using your Emails Builder templates.
Automatically create scheduled posts in Blogs API and push those updates to social platforms through Zapier.
Generate concise post summaries in emails to accompany newsletters, pulling content from new Blogs API posts.
Create the connected apps in GHL and in Zapier App Connector, then authorize access with the required scopes (emails/builder.readonly).
Choose which endpoints you’ll use (emails/builder and blogs endpoints) and align GHL fields with Blogs API fields.
Run tests in Zapier to verify triggers and actions; deploy to production and monitor performance.
The GHL API provides programmatic access to your Go High Level data and workflows, enabling integrations with other tools. The Zapier App Connector acts as a bridge, allowing GHL to trigger actions in apps like Blogs API without writing code. This combination lets you automate publishing, notifications, and data sync across systems.
Blogs API exposes endpoints for composing, updating, and retrieving blog content, categories, and authors. You can use endpoints related to posts, checks for slug availability, and category/author data to build robust, end-to-end publishing automation.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder to configure triggers, actions, and field mappings. If you need advanced logic, you can add minimal scripting layers or use multi-step Zaps.
Slug conflicts can be prevented by checking slug existence before publishing via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug is taken, you can prompt for an alternative slug or auto-generate one, then publish once available.
Yes. You can sync blog categories and authors by using the Blogs API endpoints for categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors). You can map these into GHL workflows to keep author bylines and categories consistent.
Test in Zapier by running a dry run of triggers and actions, inspecting the data mapping, and validating responses from GHL. Move to production once your test results are stable and you have proper error handling.
Official documentation for the Blogs API and GHL integration, community tutorials, and the Zapier App Connector help center are excellent starting points. You can also explore example Zaps and templates provided by Rankr.
