To secure access to the Blogs API from the Zapier App Connector, generate an API key in GHL and configure authentication in Zapier (header-based or OAuth2 as supported).
Authorize the connection using OAuth 2.0 or API keys provided by the Zapier App Connector to ensure secure data flow between apps.
GET /emails/builder; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts
Trigger when a new lead is captured in GHL, sending post data to the Blogs API to auto-create a post in Zapier.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure a unique slug.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id
Trigger on demand to fetch latest categories and authors from the Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
n/a
When a post draft is ready, validate its slug to avoid duplicates.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to publish, POST /blogs/post-update.write to update content.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/post-update.write

Automate blog workflows without writing code; trigger posts creation, updates, and publishing automatically.
Save time and reduce errors with consistent data mapping and pre-built actions.
Reuse templates and scheduling in Zapier to publish on your preferred cadence.
Glossary of terms, endpoints, and data fields used in the GHL Blogs API + Zapier App Connector integration.
A set of rules for how software systems communicate. The Blogs API exposes endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories to perform actions.
A URL-friendly title identifier used for blog post links; checked via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
A specific URL path that performs an action, such as POST /blogs/posts to create a post.
The method for securely authorizing requests, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens sent in headers.
Capture new lead information in GHL and auto-create a corresponding blog post in the Blogs API via Zapier.
Use Zapier to schedule blog posts in advance based on campaign timelines and content calendars.
Keep author and category metadata in sync between GHL and the Blogs API for accurate attribution.
Create a connection to GHL via the Blogs API, using your API key and Zapier credentials.
Map title, content, slug, category_id, and author_id to the Blogs API endpoints.
Create a Zap with triggers and actions and run tests to verify data flows correctly.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. These endpoints enable creating, updating, listing, and validating blog data from Zapier. You can combine these endpoints in no-code workflows to automate publishing and content management.
Use an API key or OAuth token generated in GHL and configure the Zapier connection to pass credentials in headers. The App Connector supports standard auth schemes so your blog data remains secure during transfers. Follow the setup steps in the connection screen to test authentication before building automations.
Create a trigger in Zapier from a new lead event in GHL and map lead fields to the Blogs API post fields. Use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint to create posts automatically when a lead is captured. Add error handling and slug validation to prevent duplicates.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to retrieve up-to-date metadata. Map these values to your posts to ensure accurate categorization and author attribution. Schedule periodic refreshes or trigger fetches when needed.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check for slug uniqueness before publishing. If the slug exists, alter it or append a timestamp to ensure a unique URL. Publish via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId once validation passes.
Absolutely. No-code connections let you automate blog workflows, reduce manual data entry, and quickly test end-to-end processes using pre-built actions and triggers. This setup is ideal for marketing teams looking to automate content pipelines with confidence.
Consult the Blogs API reference in GHL for a complete endpoint catalog, including authentication requirements and sample payloads. You can also review Zapier app connector docs for mapping guidance. For debugging, use the test feature in Zapier to verify calls against endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
