To access the Blogs API, authorize requests using your GHL credentials. Use OAuth 2.0 tokens and keep them secure; rotate tokens as recommended and respect rate limits.
Zapier App Connector handles the OAuth flow for your GHL account. After you authorize, Zapier stores tokens securely and refreshes them automatically so your automations keep running.
Blogs endpoints: – POST /blogs/posts (create a blog post) – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update a post) – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug availability) – GET /blogs/categories (list categories) – GET /blogs/authors (list authors) – GET /blogs/posts (list or fetch posts) Email endpoints (for cross-workflows): – GET emails/builder (retrieve email builder data) – POST /emails/builder/data (save email builder data)
Trigger: New item appears in your source app (CRM, form, CMS, or other integration).
Action: Create a new blog post in GHL via POST /blogs/posts; include title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId; optionally publish immediately or save as draft.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: Content updated in your source app.
Actions: Update the corresponding post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; adjust title, content, slug, and metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: End-of-week content roundup from RSS/feeds or internal apps.
Actions: Create a post with aggregated content using POST /blogs/posts; combine sources and set slug.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, sources, slug
Automate publishing without writing any code using triggers and actions in a visual workflow builder.
Set up rapid iterations, test workflows, and deploy changes in minutes instead of days.
Maintain consistency across posts and metadata with templated fields and centralized mappings.
Definitions of core terms and processes used throughout this guide to help you map data between apps and understand the Blogs API endpoints.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation in the GHL API.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the post URL.
Security protocol used to authorize access to APIs, typically involving access and refresh tokens.
A callback URL that receives real-time notifications from the API to your app.
Set a Zap to generate draft blog posts whenever a new lead or contact is added to your CRM.
Use a Zap to push CMS edits to the corresponding blog post and keep publishing content fresh.
Aggregate content from RSS feeds and internal docs into a single post for weekly readers.
Authorize access to Blogs API using OAuth 2.0; safely store tokens in Zapier.
Choose triggers like new post or updated post and map actions such as create or update.
Test in Zapier, fix field mappings, and enable automation.
No code is required to connect Blogs API with Zapier App Connector. The Zapier visual builder lets you drag and drop triggers and actions to create workflows. If you need more control, you can add filters and transformations within Zapier to refine data before posting. Two-way mappings and templating help you structure content exactly as you want it published.
GHL supports OAuth 2.0 for secure access; Zapier App Connector also uses OAuth to authorize the connection. Tokens are stored securely and refreshed automatically by Zapier. For production, rotate credentials regularly and monitor for unusual activity to maintain security.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. If a slug already exists, you can modify the title to generate a unique slug or append a suffix automatically. Automating slug checks helps prevent publishing conflicts and broken URLs.
Respect API rate limits by implementing retries with exponential backoff in your Zapier workflows. Use Zapier’s built-in error handling to reroute failed tasks to notifications or retry queues. Enable monitoring so you’re alerted if retries consistently fail and adjust mappings or endpoints as needed.
Focus on essential fields: title, content, slug, and metadata like author and category. Use endpoints for posts, categories, and authors to keep content organized and searchable. Leverage slug checks and author/category lookups to maintain consistency across posts.
In Zapier, map fields from your source app to the blog post fields in the action step. Use simple text, formatting options, and optional transformations to normalize data before posting. Consider templates for recurring posts to save time and ensure consistency.
You can start with the official GHL Blogs API docs for endpoint specifics, authentication steps, and example requests. This guide complements those docs with Zapier-specific setup and workflow examples. Explore example zaps and templates in the Zapier App Connector documentation for practical starting points.
