Use your GHL API key and the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) to securely call the Blogs API endpoints from your App Connector integration.
In Zapier, configure OAuth2 or API key credentials provided by your APPNAME, then test credentials against minimal endpoints to validate the connection.
Key endpoint groups include: emails/builder (GET, POST), emails/schedule (GET), and the Blogs endpoints for posts, categories, and authors (GET, POST, PUT, and slug checks). This page focuses on POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and related endpoints for a complete workflow.
Trigger: A new draft is ready in your CMS and is pushed to Blogs API to create a post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to publish or update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: A new or updated post is detected in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, DELETE /blogs/posts/:postId
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, DELETE /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, slug, title
Trigger: A new category or author is added in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, (where available) create/list categories and authors.
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: categoryId, authorId, name
Automate content publishing and updates without writing a line of code.
Centralize content workflows across teams and channels with drag-and-drop automation.
Get up and running quickly with reusable templates and triggers for common scenarios.
Understand the core elements and processes: endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and responses that power the integration.
A defined URL and HTTP method that performs a specific operation against a service.
A URL-friendly string used to uniquely identify a post in the blog URL.
A real-time notification pushed from one app to another, usually via HTTP POST.
A secure authorization standard that lets apps access user data without sharing passwords.
Automatically pull drafts from your CMS and publish via Blogs API when ready.
Use the scheduling endpoints to publish posts at optimal times across platforms.
Validate slugs before publishing to prevent duplicates and broken links.
Register GHL API credentials and APPNAME OAuth details, then test in a safe environment.
Connect post, category, and author endpoints to your Zapier workflow and configure field mappings.
Run end-to-end tests, review logs, and move to production when results are clean.
You authenticate with GHL by using your API key and the required access scope for emails and posts. Verify access first in a test environment to confirm the connection is working. You can then securely use the Blogs API from your App Connector.
Yes. The Blogs API supports creating posts via POST /blogs/posts and updating them with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can publish immediately or schedule changes as needed. Ensure the slug is valid to avoid duplicates.
Post-related endpoints include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. For authors and categories, use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These enable full content management.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and broken links. Combine with slug validation in your workflow.
Yes. You can list and use authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. If you need to create new entries, see your GHL permissions and the app connector capabilities for extending these resources.
The integration is designed to be no-code friendly, with triggers, actions, and field mappings that you can configure in Zapier. Some advanced workflows may require basic scripting, but core tasks are no-code.
Be mindful of rate limits, authentication expiry, and data validation. Use retries and logging, and store sensitive keys securely. Regularly review endpoint responses to ensure data integrity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
