To begin, authorize the Blogs API in your GHL account for the Zapier App Connector using the requested scope: emails/builder.readonly. This ensures Zapier can read blog data and publish updates securely.
In Zapier, create a named connection for the Blogs API and complete the OAuth flow with your GHL credentials. Store credentials securely and test the connection before building automations.
Endpoint highlights used in this Kit: POST /blogs/posts (create); PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update); POST /blogs/post-update.write (update data); GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug check); GET /blogs/categories (list categories); GET /blogs/authors (list authors); blogs/check-slug.readonly (slug validation).
Trigger: New blog post draft is created in your CMS
Actions: Create a new blog post in Blogs API using data from the CMS draft
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categories, authorId
Trigger: CMS post is updated
Actions: Update post by ID via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content
Trigger: Draft is ready for publishing
Actions: Check slug exists (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists); pull categories (GET /blogs/categories); pull authors (GET /blogs/authors)
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, categoryId, authorId
No-code automation to publish and update blogs without writing a line of code.
Centralized workflow between GHL and Zapier keeps content synchronized across platforms.
Faster content deployment with reliable error handling and monitoring.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, data mapping, and error handling. Understanding these helps you design robust no-code blogs automation.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a defined operation in the API.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the blog title used to create clean, readable permalinks.
An authorization framework that enables secure access token exchanges between apps.
A callback URL that receives real-time event notifications from an API.
When you publish a new blog post in GHL, automatically push a copy to your social channels through Zapier, saving time and ensuring consistency across platforms.
Keep your CMS and Blogs API in sync by pushing updates and preserving versions, so the latest content is always available in both systems.
Validate slug uniqueness and map categories before publishing to improve SEO readiness and reduce publishing conflicts.
In Zapier, initiate a connection to the Blogs API and complete the OAuth flow using your GHL credentials. Grant the requested scopes and test the connection.
Run a quick test to verify access to posts, categories, and authors. Check token exchange and data mapping accuracy.
Build a simple trigger-action workflow and monitor runs. Adjust field mappings and error handling as needed.
We use OAuth 2.0 to securely authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL Blogs data. You will grant scopes such as emails/builder.readonly to enable read access. Tokens are managed securely by Zapier and refreshed automatically as needed. You won’t share passwords directly between apps. The connection remains private to your account.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. Other useful endpoints cover data updates (POST /blogs/post-update.write), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), category retrieval (GET /blogs/categories), and author retrieval (GET /blogs/authors).
Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify uniqueness before publishing. If the slug already exists, adjust the title or slug mapping in your workflow to avoid duplicates. You can automate retries with fallback logic in Zapier.
Yes. The endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors let you pull and map category and author data into your automations. This keeps your blog metadata consistent across systems. You can also batch-fetch lists for dropdowns in your Zapier setup.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard used to grant Zapier access to GHL resources securely. Access tokens are short-lived and refreshed automatically. Use the provided scope to limit exposure to only what your automation needs.
Rate limits vary by your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for occasional retries in your workflows and implement exponential backoff to handle temporary throttling gracefully.
Test end-to-end by triggering a real content flow from your CMS, validating post creation, updates, and slug checks. Monitor Zapier task history for any failures and adjust mappings or endpoints as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
