Use your API key and OAuth scopes to securely access the Blogs API. The connection uses the required scopes to read and write blog data; ensure your token is refreshed and stored securely.
Zapier handles OAuth 2.0 or API key flows to securely store credentials and reuse them in automations. You’ll authorize Blogs API once, then map fields in Zapier for your workflows.
Core endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/post-update.write, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, etc.

Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog-related data, enabling you to create, update, and retrieve posts. When connected to Zapier App Connector, you can automate these actions without writing code. Start by authenticating and testing the connection, then build your first workflow to publish a post automatically from your chosen trigger. This combination removes manual steps and accelerates content publishing. For MailUp workflows, you can align post creation with email campaigns and scheduling to ensure timely distribution.
No deep coding is required. Zapier App Connector offers a no-code interface to map fields and configure triggers and actions. You will authenticate Blogs API once, then use Zapier’s visual editor to construct workflows. If you’re new to APIs, start with a simple trigger and action pair and gradually expand your automation as you become more comfortable with the available endpoints.
Key endpoints include creation and updating of posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and category management (GET /blogs/categories). These allow you to automate content publishing, ensure unique slugs, and organize posts by category. Refer to the 3-step guide to begin with a basic post creation flow and expand later.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys by Zapier App Connector. Tokens are stored securely and rotated as needed. Use least-privilege scopes relevant to your tasks to minimize risk. Regularly review connected apps and monitor activity logs within both GHL and Zapier dashboards.
Yes. You can schedule posts for future publication using the Blogs API endpoints and Zapier’s scheduling features. Map a scheduled_at field to set the publish time, and use status checks to confirm when posts go live.
Map fields such as title, content, slug, category_id, and author_id in Zapier. Use validation steps to ensure required fields are present, and use the slug check endpoint to avoid duplicates before publishing.
Publication status is typically returned by the post creation or update responses. You can also poll GET /blogs/posts to monitor status, checks, and timestamps for scheduled or published posts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
