To authorize the Blogs API in GHL, use the provided scope emails/builder.readonly and obtain an API key or OAuth token to secure requests.
Authorize LeadExec within your Zapier App Connector by adding the GHL API credentials and selecting the appropriate scopes for read/write access.

Trigger: A new lead is captured in LeadExec.
Actions: Create a blog post draft in Blogs API using lead info, then notify via email.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, category_id
Trigger: Lead status or field changes in LeadExec.
Actions: Update blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with new content and status.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status
Trigger: Changes in blog categories or authors in Blogs API.
Actions: Map and pull GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors into LeadExec.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Build powerful automations without writing code, using prebuilt triggers and actions.
Speed up onboarding with drag-and-drop workflow builder and ready-to-use endpoints.
Keep data in sync across apps with minimal maintenance and error handling.
A quick glossary of terms and core elements to help you understand how the Blogs API and LeadExec integration works.
An Application Programming Interface that allows two apps to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, such as creating a blog post.
An event in one app that starts an automation in another app.
The operation performed by an integration in response to a trigger.
Automatically generate a draft blog post when a lead is captured in LeadExec, using lead fields to populate title and content.
Pull categories and author data from Blogs API to keep LeadExec references up to date.
Queue publishing of posts once a lead meets qualification criteria.
Obtain API credentials for Blogs API and configure the scope to include emails/builder.readonly.
Set up the necessary endpoints (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) in your automation.
Run tests, verify data mappings for title, slug, and category, then deploy to production.
No-code is a key benefit of this integration. It uses triggers and actions so you can automate workflows without writing code.\n\nIf you need more advanced logic, you can add custom mappings and filters within LeadExec or use additional endpoints as needed.
Essential endpoints for starting include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them.\n\nAlso consider GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors for richer mappings and better organization.
Map lead fields like firstName, lastName, and email to blog post title, content, and author fields.\n\nUse slug generation rules to ensure unique URLs for each post.
Authentication uses an API key or OAuth token with the scope emails/builder.readonly.\n\nStore credentials securely in the Zapier App Connector and rotate keys as needed.
Both platforms have rate limits; design your flows to batch requests and retry on 429.\n\nUse exponential backoff, caching, and idempotent operations to avoid duplicates.
Sandbox or staging environments depend on your provider; check if test endpoints are available.\n\nIf not, use a controlled test workflow with sample data to validate mappings.
Common errors include authentication failures, 404s on missing posts, and slug conflicts.\n\nVerify credentials, endpoint paths, and payload schemas; enable detailed logging and test with small payloads.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
