Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or an API key from your GHL account. Ensure your access token includes scopes like emails/builder.readonly and blogs.* to access posts, authors, categories, and slug checks.
Securely connect Zapier App Connector with a client secret or API key so requests to Blogs API are signed and scoped to your account. Use per-app credentials and rotate them regularly.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; POST 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 blog draft is created in Blogs API
Actions: publish to your site, update slug, or share via connected apps in Zapier
Method path: POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, content, category, author, slug
Trigger: new author or category is added in Blogs API
Actions: populate author list in Zapier app, map categories to posts
Method path: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: authorId, name, slug; categoryId, name
Trigger: check slug existence before publish using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: publish or update post status based on slug availability
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: slug, title, postId

This glossary defines core elements: GHL API, Zapier App Connector, endpoints, triggers, and mappings used to connect systems and automate content workflows.
GHL API is the set of endpoints you call to access emails, blog content, authors, categories, and related data from GHL accounts.
Zapier App Connector is the automation layer that connects apps and services, enabling triggers, actions, and multi-step workflows.
A URL path provided by an API that performs a function such as retrieving posts or updating a post.
The URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in routing and slug-exists checks.
Turn incoming email content into drafts in Blogs API and publish or schedule posts with one click.
When a post is published in Blogs API, trigger social posts and newsletters via Zapier.
Use content analysis to map topics to categories and author fields in real time.
Obtain OAuth tokens or API keys for both Blogs API and Zapier App Connector and verify scopes.
Select posts, authors, categories, and slug-check endpoints to map into your workflows.
Create a multi-step Zap to trigger on new drafts, publish posts, and notify teams.
To connect, obtain credentials for both systems and set up OAuth or API key authentication. In Zapier App Connector, select the Blogs API as the trigger and action app, then authorize the connection. Ensure scopes align with the APIs you plan to use.
Common publishing workflows use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to create and update content. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing.
Slug existence checks help prevent duplicates. Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing and handle responses to choose a unique slug.
Yes. By pulling author and category data from Blogs API (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories) you can auto-map fields in your Zapier workflows.
Endpoint rate limits depend on your GHL account and plan. Use batching and retries in Zapier to stay within quotas.
Non-coding setup is possible with Zapier, but some advanced mappings may require basic logic filters or path setup in multi-step zaps.
Store credentials securely in Zapier’s connected accounts and rotate them regularly. Use secure vaults if supported by your organization.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
