To use the Blogs API from GHL in Zapier you will need an API key or OAuth setup. Follow the steps to generate credentials and securely connect.
Zapier requires OAuth2 or API key depending on the Blogs API configuration. Store credentials securely and test connectivity.

This section defines common terms and processes used when working with the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
An application programming interface that allows apps to talk to each other. The Blogs API exposes endpoints to manage posts, categories and authors.
A specific URL path in the API that performs a function such as creating a post or checking a slug.
A URL friendly identifier for a blog post used to construct shareable links and URL checks.
An authorization framework that allows apps to access user data securely without sharing passwords.
Create a weekly post draft from saved ideas and publish using Zapier triggers
Capture ideas from team messages and convert to blog posts in Blogs API
Sync calendar events to planned posts and schedule via Zapier
Generate or collect your Blogs API key or OAuth credentials from GHL and prepare them for Zapier
Add the Blogs API connection in Zapier, test the connection, and select triggers and actions
Create Zaps that map fields like title, content, slug and author to the Blogs API
You can authenticate using API keys or OAuth depending on how your GHL account is configured. In Zapier connect to the Blogs API using the OAuth flow or a stored API key. Test the connection to verify access. If you use OAuth, refresh tokens may be required after expiration. Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically.
The Blogs API endpoints include post creation, updating, slug checks, and category management. In Zapier you can set up triggers for new posts or updates and actions to create or modify posts. Use GET for reads and POST/PUT for creates and updates.
Check the slug by calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug exists, modify it or choose another slug. You can implement a fallback strategy in your Zap to ensure unique slugs.
Yes. The Blogs API supports scheduling posts. You can set a publish date for a post in the API or via Zapier actions. Include the publish date in your payload and use a scheduling trigger if available.
Rate limits vary by plan. When using Zapier, keep batch sizes small and space requests to avoid hitting limits. Use retries and exponential backoff to handle transient errors.
To update a post you send a PUT to /blogs/posts/:postId with the fields you want to change. You can update content, title, slug or status. Verify the response and confirm the update.
If you encounter errors check the API response codes. Common issues include authentication failures, invalid payload data or missing required fields. Review the endpoint documentation and adjust your Zap mapping.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
