Run tests and enable automation in production
Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration lets you automate workflows between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. It uses the GHL endpoints to pull data and push updates without manual steps. Start by authenticating and selecting the endpoints you need, then build triggers and actions in your workflow.
Choose the endpoints that match your workflow. For example, GET emails/builder for templates, POST /blogs/posts to publish posts, and GET /blogs/authors to sync authors. Test different combinations to find the most reliable setup. Ensure you have the correct scopes and permissions configured.
To test the connection, run a dry run in the App Connector and verify responses from the Blogs API. Check that authentication tokens are valid and that each endpoint returns the expected data. Review logs for any errors and adjust mappings as needed.
No code is required to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector. Use the built in triggers, actions and data field mappings to create automations. If you need advanced logic, you can add conditional steps within Zapier workflows.
Yes you can map authors between GHL and Blogs API. Maintain a mapping table that links GHL author IDs to Blogs API author IDs and update as new authors are added. This ensures consistent attribution across platforms.
Authentication issues usually come from invalid tokens or mis configured scopes. Verify token validity, redirect URIs and required scopes. If problems persist, re authenticate the connection and regenerate credentials.
Logs can be viewed in the Zapier App Connector dashboard and in the GHL integration logs if available. Use these logs to trace API calls, responses and any errors. Enable verbose logging for details during troubleshooting.
