Authenticate to the Blogs API using a secure API key or OAuth credentials, then grant the Zapier App Connector the required access to read and publish blog data.
In Zapier, connect your GHL account by supplying the Blogs API credentials, test the connection, and enable token storage for ongoing automation.
Key endpoints include GET /blogs/posts (read posts), POST /blogs/posts (create posts), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update posts), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (validate slug), GET /blogs/categories (list categories), and GET /blogs/authors (list authors). Additional supporting endpoints for emails and scheduling are available as needed (e.g., GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/schedule).
Trigger: when a new blog post is created in Blogs API (HeySummit)
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: title, content, slug, category, authorId, publishDate
Trigger: when you need up-to-date authors or categories from Blogs API
Actions: fetch and map GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories into your apps
Method paths: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: authorName, slug, bio; categoryName, slug
Trigger: when creating or updating a post to verify slug uniqueness
Actions: check slug exists (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), create or update post
Method paths: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, slug, content, author, status
Faster publishing with automated workflows that run in the background without manual data entry
Seamless data sharing between GHL and your favorite apps, reducing silos and manual syncing
Reduced manual tasks and human error through repeatable, auditable automations
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used in the integration between the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with a service.
An event that starts an automation within Zapier when data changes in GHL.
An operation performed in a connected app as a response to a trigger.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title.
Create a workflow that publishes a new HeySummit post to social channels, newsletters, and your CMS automatically.
Capture drafts from forms or email, review in-app, then push to Blogs API to publish.
Archive older posts and re-share highlights across channels with scheduled automation.
Connect your GHL Blogs API account and your Zapier account, then authorize the connection.
Choose the relevant triggers (e.g., new posts) and actions (create/update posts), then map fields.
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable the Zap in Zapier.
To publish a post, you typically use POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Ensure you have access to GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate the slug before publishing. Map required fields such as title, content, slug, and publishDate in your Zap. If the slug already exists, adjust it or append a unique suffix to avoid conflicts.
Yes. You can pull authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts and assign proper metadata. Keeping synchronized lists helps maintain consistency across apps and prevents references from breaking in automation.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, modify it or add a unique suffix to ensure a unique URL. This prevents duplicates and broken links in your output channels.
No heavy coding is required for most Zapier automations; you can configure triggers and actions with the visual builder. Some familiarity with the Blogs API endpoints helps, but advanced development isn’t necessary for standard use.
Authenticate by generating API credentials in GHL and then connecting these credentials in Zapier’s connection settings. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys as needed, and test the connection to confirm access.
A typical post requires a title and content; optional fields include slug, category, author, and publish date. Ensure the slug is unique to prevent duplicate URLs and map these fields in your Zapier workflow.
Yes, you can schedule posts if the endpoint supports publishing at a future date. Use a time-based trigger in Zapier or a scheduling action to set the publishDate for the post.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
