Authenticate your Blogs API connection in Zapier by providing your API key from your GHL account. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
In Zapier, create a new connection for Blogs API using the API key. Zapier will manage authentication for subsequent actions and triggers.

A quick glossary and process overview for integrating the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of endpoints and calls that let apps communicate.
A specific path in an API that performs a function when called.
Methods to verify identity and authorize requests (API keys, OAuth).
A URL-friendly identifier used for blog post URLs.
Trigger when new content is added and push to Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts with title and body.
Listen for CMS changes and call PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update the post.
Before publishing, verify uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
In Zapier, add Blogs API and create a connection using your API key.
Select triggers like new post and actions like create or update posts, mapping to endpoints.
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable the Zap.
No coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect Blogs API endpoints to triggers and actions. You can configure fields, map data, and set up workflows without writing code. This makes it easy to automate content publishing and updates quickly. If you ever need advanced logic, you can add simple filters and conditionals within Zapier.
Supported authentication methods are API keys (and OAuth in some configurations). For this integration, use your GHL account API key to authorize requests from Zapier. Keep keys secure, rotate them regularly, and set permissions based on the minimum required scope. Zapier will manage token storage for repeated runs.
Key endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and fetching authors or categories (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). The emails endpoints are also available but not required for publishing. Use the endpoints that align with your workflow needs.
Slug existence is checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Before publishing, you can verify that the slug is unique to avoid duplicates. If the slug exists, generate a new slug or modify the title to create a unique URL.
Yes. You can automate publishing by triggering a post creation via POST /blogs/posts or by updating existing posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Schedule-based or event-based triggers in Zapier can drive these actions without manual steps.
Handle errors by configuring Zapier to retry on failure, map error responses to friendly messages, and use built-in filters to halt flows when essential fields are missing. Always log API responses for troubleshooting and set up fallback actions if a call fails.
API documentation for Blogs API and the available endpoints is available within the GHL developer docs and the Zapier app connector docs. Look for authentication requirements, endpoint formats, and example requests. If you need more, you can request access to extended docs from your API provider.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
