To access the Blogs API from GHL, authenticate with OAuth2 and grant the emails/builder.readonly scope. Use the API credentials from the GHL developer portal to obtain access tokens for read operations.
In Zapier, connect to your Blogs API account using OAuth2 with your client ID and secret, selecting the emails/builder.readonly scope. This enables Zapier to read email templates, schedules, and blog data.

The Blogs API exposes endpoints for managing posts, categories, authors, and related email templates. In Zapier, you connect via OAuth2 and request the emails/builder.readonly scope to enable reading and triggering email-related actions from blog data. This setup allows you to automatically create or update email templates when new posts publish.
For basic blog-to-email automation you typically use endpoints like GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs, and GET /emails/builder or POST /emails/builder to manage email templates. Scheduling is handled via GET /emails/schedule or similar read-only schedule endpoints.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before publishing. This helps prevent duplicates and preserves SEO. If a collision is detected, you can adjust the slug in your post creation flow before final publish.
Yes. You can schedule email campaigns tied to new posts or updates by using the emails/schedule endpoints alongside blog triggers. This enables automatic dissemination of new content to your audience at predefined times.
No coding is required for standard workflows. Zapier provides a no-code interface to connect the Blogs API with the Email Builder via OAuth2 authentication and field mapping. More complex logic can be added with filters and simple code steps if needed.
Authentication leverages OAuth2 tokens and the specified scope (emails/builder.readonly). You’ll configure client credentials in the GHL developer portal and in Zapier, then authorize the connection to allow read access to posts, categories, authors, email templates, and schedules.
API endpoints are visible in the GHL developer documentation and can be listed in your App Connector configuration. You’ll typically find paths like /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories, /emails/builder, and /emails/schedule to integrate blog data with email workflows.
