Use your GHL API credentials to authorize requests to the Blogs API endpoints. Keep keys secure and rotate credentials regularly.
Connect Zapier App Connector to GHL by completing the OAuth 2.0 flow or using an API key. Once linked, select the Blogs API connection in your Zap templates.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, and related read/write permissions across emails and blogs endpoints.
When a new blog post is added in GHL, the workflow creates a corresponding post in Blogs API with title, content, and slug.
Actions: create the post in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts); map title, content, slug, author, and categories.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, categories
Blog post updated in GHL triggers an update to the corresponding Blogs API post.
Actions: update post in Blogs API (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId); ensure title, content, and slug reflect changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categories
On-demand fetch or scheduled sync to pull author and category data into GHL.
Actions: fetch GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories; map authorName/authorId and categoryName/categoryId into GHL fields.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, authorName, categoryId, categoryName
Zero‑code automation: build workflows visually without writing any code.
Rapid setup using pre-built endpoints minimizes integration time and reduces risk.
Reliable data synchronization with built‑in retries, logging, and clear error handling.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping. The typical process is: connect your accounts, authorize access, configure the desired endpoints, map fields, test the workflow, and deploy.
An Application Programming Interface that lets two apps communicate and exchange data securely.
A specific URL on an API that performs a service or returns data.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in the web address.
An authorization framework that lets apps obtain access tokens to call APIs securely.
Set up a workflow that creates and publishes a blog post in Blogs API whenever new content is added to GHL.
Automatically sync category data from Blogs API into GHL categories.
Run scheduled syncs to reconcile posts between Blogs API and GHL.
Open the Zapier App Connector integration and authorize your GHL Blogs API account.
Choose the Blogs API endpoints you want to monitor and map trigger fields.
Test the workflow end-to-end and deploy to production.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to configure triggers and actions using the Blogs API. You can assemble automations with drag-and-drop components and test them in real time. If you need deeper customization, you can still adjust field mappings within your Zap templates.
The integration covers key endpoints for blog posts, categories, authors, and slug checks, plus emails if you’re coordinating messaging. You can create, update, and fetch posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), retrieve categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors), and verify slug availability (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Use the built-in Test Trigger and Test Action features in Zapier to verify the connection. Check the response status codes, field mappings, and sample payloads. If issues occur, review API keys, OAuth scopes (Scope: emails/builder.readonly), and endpoint permissions.
Yes. You can map custom fields from Blogs API to GHL fields in your Zap templates. If a field does not exist in GHL, add a corresponding field in the Apps data mapping and map to a placeholder.
Errors are surfaced with descriptive messages and HTTP status codes. The connector includes retry logic and logging to help diagnose failures. Set retry rules in Zapier if supported, and consult the docs for common error patterns.
Yes. Backfilling lets you pull existing posts, authors, and categories into GHL or Blogs API to sync historical data. Use a batch operation in your workflow schedule to reconcile records and verify data integrity.
