The Blogs API in GHL is a RESTful interface that exposes endpoints for managing blog content, categories, and authors. It enables programmatic creation, updates, and retrieval of blog assets. You can drive these actions from Zapier App Connector to automate Loopy Loyalty workflows. This API also supports slug checking, ensuring clean URL handles for posts. Using these endpoints through Zapier helps non-coders orchestrate content publishing, scheduling, and governance across connected apps.
Yes. You can connect without writing code by using the Zapier App Connector as the bridge between GHL and your content systems. The setup involves OAuth credential exchange and mapping fields between apps. Once configured, you can trigger actions and pass data without touching code, making it a no-code integration.
Key endpoints for posting blogs include POST /blogs/posts to create a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. You may also use blogs/post-write and blogs/post-update.write permissions to manage write operations. For publishing flow, the POST /blogs/posts endpoint is your primary method.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and provide the slug you want. If the response indicates the slug is taken, modify the slug and retry. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and keeps your posts SEO-friendly.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update post content, slug, or status after publishing. Changes propagate to your connected apps as part of the Zapier workflow once the update is successful.
Permissions required include access to blogs and authors/categories endpoints. Typical scopes are blogs/category.readonly, blogs/author.readonly, and the corresponding write permissions (blogs/post.write, blogs/post-update.write). Ensure your OAuth token has the necessary scopes for the intended actions.
API call logs are typically visible in the GHL account audit logs and the Zapier task history. You can review successes, failures, and payloads in both platforms to diagnose issues and optimize automations.
