Use your GHL credentials to obtain an access token with the necessary scope. Include the token in API requests to securely access blog data, ensuring your actions align with the defined permissions.
Configure Zapier App Connector to use OAuth 2.0 or API Key for Blogs API, then test the connection in the app builder before building automations.

No coding is required for basic workflows with Zapier App Connector. You can connect Blogs API using pre-built triggers and actions to publish, update, and manage posts. For complex logic, you can add multi-step Zaps that incorporate filters and delays. If you run into limits, you can adjust polling intervals and batch operations where supported.
Blogs API supports OAuth 2.0 and API Key methods depending on your security requirements. OAuth 2.0 provides user-consented access tokens, while API Keys offer a straightforward, token-based approach for server-to-server interactions. Always protect tokens and follow the principle of least privilege.
A good starting point is the blogs/posts endpoints for creating and updating posts, combined with blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. You can then add slug checks and category/author endpoints as needed to enrich automation.
Yes. You can schedule posts using time-based triggers and the Blogs API’s scheduling endpoints. Ensure posts respect your target time zones and use Zapier’s delay features to publish at the correct times.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Monitor headers returned by the API and implement backoff in your Zaps. If you hit limits, optimize calls, batch requests, or upgrade your plan as needed.
Rate limits and scopes are documented per endpoint. Review the API documentation in your GHL developer portal for current quotas, scopes, and recommended usage patterns.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
