Zapier will request the scope emails/builder.readonly to access the Blogs API resources through GHL for automation tasks.
During setup, Zapier obtains an OAuth token to access the Blogs API endpoints in GHL and to run automated actions securely.
Endpoints cover emails builder and schedule as well as blogs posts, categories, authors, and slug checks. Examples include GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/categories.

The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to create, read, update and fetch posts and related data. You can automate content workflows from Zapier without custom code. This keeps teams aligned and speeds up publishing. The API uses OAuth for secure access and supports common blog operations.
No code is not a feature in the sense of not using any tool; you will use Zapier to connect apps and trigger workflows. You may need basic Zapier setup knowledge, but there is no need to write server code. The integration leverages predefined endpoints and actions.
Publishing endpoints include POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for creating and updating posts. You can also check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to guard against duplicates.
Slug checks use the URL slugExists endpoint. If a slug already exists, you can generate a new slug or update the post metadata. This helps preserve SEO and avoid duplicate content.
Yes, you can schedule posts by using the Blogs API alongside a scheduling endpoint. Zapier can trigger scheduled publishing and related updates.
The required scope shown for this integration is emails/builder.readonly. Depending on your use case you may add more scopes for read or write access as needed.
Absolutely. The no-code setup in Zapier supports team members with shared connections, task assignments, and shared workflows for collaborative publishing and content updates.
