Obtain and securely store an access token or API key for the Blogs API. Use the scopes tied to blog reading and writing to control what Zapier can access.
Connect Zapier to your GHL Blogs API by completing the OAuth or API key flow in the App settings. This grants Zapier permission to read and manage blog data.

Not at all—it’s a no-code bridge between the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. You configure triggers and actions in Zapier to automate workflows.
The Blogs API supports token-based authentication and API keys depending on your setup. Use OAuth 2.0 or API key flows to securely authorize Zapier.
Essential endpoints for basic blogging include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), reading posts (GET /blogs/posts), and updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). Other helpful endpoints include slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and taxonomy lookups (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Yes. You can schedule posts to publish at a specific time by using downstream scheduling in Zapier or by setting a publish date on create. Combine with triggers to automate future publishing.
Categories are retrieved via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors. Map posts to the correct taxonomy and author data in your automation.
Security is maintained with token-based authentication over HTTPS. Store tokens securely and apply least-privilege access in your Zapier app.
Test the flow by running a sample workflow: fetch a post, verify payloads, and simulate publish or update. Check Zapier and GHL logs for debugging and adjust mappings as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
