Answer: Using Zapier with the Blogs API typically requires an active Zapier plan to run tasks and automations. Some testing may be possible on a free trial, but ongoing usage may require a paid plan. The GHL side authorizes via OAuth or API keys, and you choose the scope described above. Ensure you limit permissions to the minimum needed.
Answer: Yes. You can read emails and schedule data using endpoints such as GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, and related endpoints. The Blogs API supports retrieval of blog posts and related data through the endpoints listed in the endpoint section. Use triggers to pull updates into Zapier.
Answer: Webhooks deliver near real-time updates for eligible events. Response times depend on the endpoint and network; you can configure retries and filters in Zapier for resilience. Some endpoints may require additional scopes for webhook delivery.
Answer: Access requires the scope specified (emails/builder.readonly) and appropriate OAuth or API key credentials. Permissions govern what data you can read or modify, such as posts, categories, and authors.
Answer: To check slug existence, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug parameter. If the slug exists, you can decide to update the post or choose a new slug before creating.
Answer: Yes. You can fetch and map authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories, then sync them to your CMS or marketing platform.
Answer: Endpoint paths include GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates. See your API docs for full details and required parameters.
