Use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys generated in your GHL developer settings to securely authorize requests from the Zapier App Connector to Blogs API.
Create a connected app in Zapier with your Blogs API credentials; exchange tokens securely and renew them as needed.
– GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder for templates and builders; – POST /emails/builder/data to push template data; – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId to remove templates; – GET emails/schedule and GET blogs/posts for reading resources; – POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for posts; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs; – GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch metadata.

No coding required—set up automations with a few clicks and drag‑and‑drop workflow steps.
Build complex data flows visually by mapping fields between Emails Builder, Blogs, and schedules.
Get real‑time updates and notifications when data changes or errors occur, improving responsiveness.
This glossary covers core concepts used in this guide, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields.
The API surface provided by GHL to access emails, blogs, and related data from external apps.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in the post URL.
The set of endpoints for managing blog content, categories, and authors within GHL.
Logical groupings for blog posts used to organize content and improve navigation.
Publish a new post in Blogs API and trigger a notification email via Emails Builder to your subscriber list.
Run a slug existence check before publishing to guarantee a unique URL and suggest alternatives if needed.
Pull authors and categories into your CRM or metadata store so tagging and filtering stay consistent across systems.
Create credentials in GHL and Zapier; authorize the connection and run a test to verify access to endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts.
Select the endpoints you’ll use (emails/builder, blogs/posts, categories, authors) and set up triggers such as template changes or new posts.
Map fields between Apps, run test workflows, and enable automations for live data syncing.
Blogs API provides programmatic access to blogs, emails, and related data within GHL. With the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger automations and move data between Blogs API resources and your other apps without writing code. This makes it easy to publish posts, manage templates, and notify subscribers automatically. By using standard endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts, you can build reliable workflows that scale as your content and email needs grow.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector uses a visual workflow builder to connect GHL endpoints with other apps. You define triggers, actions, and data mappings using a drag‑and‑drop interface. However, a basic understanding of the endpoints and data fields will help you configure effective automations quickly.
Common essential endpoints include emails/builder (templates), /emails/builder/data (template data), /blogs/posts (creating posts), /blogs/posts/:postId (updating posts), and /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug checks). These cover template management, post creation, and basic SEO considerations. Additionally, endpoints for categories and authors (/blogs/categories and /blogs/authors) support metadata synchronization across systems.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys generated in GHL and connected to Zapier App Connector. You’ll authorize the connection in Zapier, then periodically refresh tokens as required. If a token expires, re-authenticate to restore access to all configured endpoints.
Yes. You can automate publishing posts, syncing categories, and updating author data. Use triggers on new posts or updates to keep downstream systems in sync. You can also propagate slug checks to prevent duplicates at publish time.
If a slug already exists, you can fallback to an alternative slug suggestion or modify the post title to generate a unique slug. The slug check endpoint (/blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) helps you catch conflicts before publishing.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the Zapier app configuration. Plan for bursts during batch updates and implement retries with backoff in your workflows to handle temporary limits gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
