This glossary covers essential elements: API, endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
An interface that lets different software applications communicate and exchange data.
A URL path in an API that exposes a specific resource or action.
A method for delivering real-time data from one app to another when events occur.
The process of verifying identity to access an API.

In Zapier, create a connection to the Blogs API using your API key and select the scope (emails, blogs).
Map blog post fields to triggers and actions; define how content flows between apps.
Test authentication, run samples, and enable the workflow.
Yes. You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with your Blogs API credentials or use an API key if your account supports it. In the Zapier App Connector, add the Blogs API integration, select the authentication method, and then authorize. Best practices include keeping credentials secure and testing the connection in a sandbox before going live.
For publishing posts, you’ll typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You may also validate slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Align these with your trigger/action setup in Zapier to ensure smooth content publishing.
Yes. The Blogs API supports scheduling emails and retrieving the schedule via emails/schedule. You can set up triggers based on upcoming sends and automate notifications or follow-up messages as part of your workflow.
No coding is required to connect the two tools; the Zapier App Connector provides UI-based triggers and actions. Some light data mapping may be needed, but most interactions are handled through endpoints and built-in Zapier steps.
Data mapping is done in Zapier by selecting source fields (title, content, slug) and mapping them to the target fields in Blogs API. Refer to the endpoint requirements to ensure you send correctly structured data.
Rate limits depend on your GHL account and Zapier plan. If you hit limits, implement retries with exponential backoff and consider batching requests where possible.
