Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens issued in your GHL developer console. Include Authorization: Bearer
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API app and authorize access to the requested scopes. The connection stores OAuth credentials securely and refreshing tokens happens automatically.
Key endpoints include: GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, etc. Use these to fetch emails, create posts, update content, or check slugs as part of your automation flows.
Trigger: new or updated emails appear in the builder endpoint to cue publishing workflows or notifications.
Actions: fetch, create, or modify email templates and drafts to prep content for posting.
GET /emails/builder
Key fields: emailId, subject, body, status, createdAt.
Trigger: new draft data from the builder or a form fills a new post to publish.
Actions: create new blog posts using title, slug, excerpt, and content blocks.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, slug, content, authorId, categoryIds, publishDate.
Trigger: post updates from Zapier to keep content fresh and aligned with your workflow.
Actions: update post fields, change status, or reassign categories.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, status, categoryIds, updatedAt.

Create a Zap with the trigger from IMAP and actions for post creation and updates.
The IMAP integration with Zapier lets you pull content from email into your automation workflows that drive your Blogs API content. This enables automatic post creation, updates, and alerts based on email activity. Setup is straightforward with a few clicks and no code. In practice, you can map email subject lines and body content to post titles and bodies, and use labels to categorize posts. This makes content publishing faster and more reliable.
To publish a post from email content you typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to finalize the draft. You may also fetch email data with GET /emails/builder to source content. Data mapping rules translate email fields to post fields (title, slug, content, categories). Testing in Zapier ensures data lands correctly in your blog.
No custom coding is required for the core flow. Zapier provides triggers and actions that you wire together with the Blogs API endpoints. If you need complex transformations, you can use built-in Zapier tools or small code steps, but the standard flow is configurable with clicks.
Authentication is done via OAuth tokens obtained in GHL’s developer console and stored by Zapier. When you connect the Blogs API app in Zapier, you grant access to required scopes. Each request to the API should include a valid Bearer token in the Authorization header.
Yes. You can update post fields such as title, content, status, and category associations using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can trigger updates in Zapier when email content changes or on a schedule.
Key mapping tips include aligning email subject with post title, body with post content, and using labels or categories to organize posts. Use robust error handling, defaults, and test data to ensure clean data flow.
Look for templates in Zapier’s app directory or in our documentation that show end-to-end IMAP-to-post workflows. We also provide example Zap templates to accelerate setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
