Blogs API authentication uses secure OAuth2 tokens via the Zapier App Connector, with access limited by the scope emails/builder.readonly.
In Zapier, securely store and rotate credentials, map client secrets, and refresh tokens to keep connections alive between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new email arrives in the Blogs Email Builder to auto-create a blog post draft in Blogs.
Actions: create a blog post (POST /blogs/posts), set the title and content, generate a slug.
Use POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update as needed.
Key fields: title, content, authorId, slug
Trigger: a scheduled time kicks off publishing of drafted posts.
Actions: publish with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and update publishAt as needed.
Paths: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to publish or reschedule.
Key fields: postId, publishAt
Trigger: before publishing, verify slug existence and fetch metadata.
Actions: check slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), fetch categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors).
Paths: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: slug, category, authorId
Faster automation: automate blogging tasks without writing any code.
Consistent data flow across apps and platforms.
Scalable workflows that grow with your content needs.
Key elements include API endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path used to interact with the Blogs API or Zapier app connector to perform an action.
A method to prove identity and authorize requests to the API, often using tokens or OAuth.
A mechanism to receive real-time updates from sources and trigger automations.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in the slug field.
Idea: when a form is submitted in another app, automatically create a blog post draft in Blogs API.
Idea: monitor form or editor changes and push updates to existing posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Idea: map source data to blog categories and authors to keep posts properly organized.
Set up OAuth2 or API keys in both sides and test the connection.
Choose endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and map fields.
Create a Zapier workflow, run tests, and monitor logs for any issues.
Authentication is required to securely access Blogs API through the Zapier App Connector. You typically use OAuth2 tokens or API keys, depending on the setup. This ensures that only authorized workflows can read or modify blog data. The connection should be tested and refreshed as needed to maintain access.
Common endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and category or author retrieval (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). Mapping fields like title, content, slug, category, and authorId enables smooth data transfer between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Yes. You can schedule post publishing by combining blogs posts creation with a scheduled trigger and updating the post’s publishAt timestamp using the appropriate endpoints. This supports automated editorial calendars without manual intervention.
Use the slug existence check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating posts. If the slug exists, you can modify the title or slug to avoid duplicates. This keeps URLs clean and unique.
Map authors and categories using stable IDs from your source systems. This ensures posts consistently reference the correct author and taxonomy. Regularly review mappings as content sources evolve.
No code is required for most workflows. The Zapier App Connector provides visual builders to connect endpoints, set triggers, and map fields. You can implement robust automations without writing JavaScript or server code.
Rate limits and scopes are defined by the GHL API. You can find details in the API documentation and on the app connector config page. Always design workflows with retry logic and backoff to handle limits gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
