To use the Blogs API within your GHL account, generate an API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly to read blog data and metadata. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
In Zapier, connect your app using OAuth or an API key method supported by the Blogs API. This ensures secure and authorized requests from Zapier to GHL.
GET emails/builder emails/builder.write POST emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId emails/schedule.readonly GET emails/schedule blogs/post.write POST /blogs/posts blogs/post-update.write PUT /blogs/posts/:postId blogs/check-slug.readonly GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists blogs/category.readonly GET /blogs/categories blogs/author.readonly GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog post is published in Blogs API and automatically creates a LinkedIn post via the Zapier App Connector.
Actions: Publish LinkedIn post, update post status, and log engagement metrics back into Blogs API.
Method path: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, slug, author, publishDate, content, featuredImage
Trigger: Updates to blog categories or authors trigger corresponding LinkedIn conversion workflows.
Actions: Update LinkedIn campaigns with new blog metadata and track conversions.
Method path: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: authorId, categoryId, updatedAt
Trigger: New email or subscriber update feeds into LinkedIn lead capture through the App Connector.
Actions: Create or update LinkedIn lead records and log conversions in Blogs API.
Method path: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data
Key fields: email, leadName, leadCompany, conversionStatus
Benefit 1: Build powerful data workflows without writing code.
Benefit 2: Automate content-to-conversion pipelines across platforms with reusable Zaps.
Benefit 3: Rapid testing and deployment of LinkedIn conversion flows.
This glossary explains essential terms and the core processes involved when linking Blogs API with Zapier App Connector for LinkedIn conversions.
Definition: The GHL API is the programmatic interface that lets you read and write data in your GHL workspace, including blogs, emails, and scheduling.
Definition: Endpoints are specific URIs you call to perform actions like retrieving posts, creating posts, or updating records.
Definition: Authentication secures API requests, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
Definition: Webhooks notify your system of events in real time, such as new posts or updates.
Description: When a new blog draft is completed, automatically publish a summarized LinkedIn post via the App Connector.
Description: Capture blog comment data and feed engagement metrics into LinkedIn campaigns to measure reach.
Description: Schedule a weekly post summarizing recent blogs and insights for LinkedIn audiences.
Step 1: In Zapier, authorize access to the Blogs API and your GHL workspace.
Step 2: Create a Zap with a trigger like New Blog Post and an action sending data to LinkedIn.
Step 3: Test the workflow, map post fields (title, slug, date), and turn on the Zap.
Answer: The Blogs API is the programmatic interface for managing blog data within GHL, which can be connected to Zapier App Connector to automate LinkedIn conversions. This integration lets you pull new posts, publish updates, and track engagement from LinkedIn back into Blogs API. By linking these tools, you create a seamless content-to-conversion pipeline without writing code. The setup uses OAuth or API keys and exposes endpoints for reading posts, creating content, and updating metadata. Think of it as a bridge between your Go High Level-style blogs and your LinkedIn strategy, enabling timely, data-driven posts and accurate conversion tracking.
Answer: No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map triggers (like new blog posts) to actions (such as posting to LinkedIn). You configure authentication once, choose endpoints, and customize field mappings. For advanced scenarios, you can insert lightweight logic steps within Zapier or use pre-built templates. If you’re comfortable with basic data fields (title, slug, date, content), you’ll be up and running quickly.
Answer: Essential endpoints for LinkedIn conversions include getting blog posts, creating or updating posts, and syncing metadata (author, category) to campaigns. Specifically, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors are commonly used. Additionally, endpoints for authentication and data retrieval like GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data may be used to coordinate related assets. These endpoints enable publishing, updating, and tracking performance across both Blogs API and LinkedIn campaigns.
Answer: Yes. You can set a trigger for new blog posts and then configure an action to publish a LinkedIn post or update a conversion record. You can also schedule recurring LinkedIn roundups based on recent blogs. This automation helps maintain a consistent posting cadence without manual effort. Always test the Zap with sample data to ensure mapping accuracy before going live.
Answer: Supported methods typically include OAuth-based authentication or API key-based methods, depending on your setup. OAuth is common for Zapier integrations, while API keys may be used for service-to-service calls. Always follow the principle of least privilege and restrict scopes to what’s needed (for example, emails/builder.readonly for reading blog data). Rotate credentials periodically and monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Answer: Use Zapier’s built-in test feature and the endpoint tester in GHL to validate your mappings. Start with a sandbox blog post and verify that a corresponding LinkedIn post is created and that conversion data is recorded. Review field mappings (title, slug, date, content) and adjust as needed. Once tests pass, enable the Zap and monitor the first live runs for any data discrepancies.
