In GHL, generate an API key for the Blogs API with the scope emails/builder.readonly, then paste it into Zapier during connection setup to enable secure requests.
In Zapier, create or edit the Blogs API connection and supply the API key from GHL and the Blogs API endpoint access verified by the scope. Test the connection to ensure data can flow.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; blogs/post.write; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Use a trigger like a new or updated blog post in GHL to start a Zap in Zapier.
Actions can create or update posts via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and optionally notify subscribers with emails.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category, author, status
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Actions: set slug, assign category and author, create metadata.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Schedule a publish or notify workflow using Zapier scheduling or emails/cron triggers.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, publishAt
Automate content workflows without writing code.
Seamlessly sync blog data with email campaigns and marketing workflows.
Scale publishing across channels with simple, visual automations in Zapier.
A quick glossary and process map to help you build and understand the integration between GHL Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
An application programming interface that exposes endpoints to manage data.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the slug field.
A specific URL path that performs an action on the server.
A callback mechanism to notify apps of events in real time.
Trigger a new blog post when a campaign is created in your marketing stack and publish to your blog.
Push post updates to email templates automatically when a post is edited in GHL.
Coordinate cross-channel launches by scheduling blogs and email campaigns from Zapier.
Create an API key in GHL with the required scope and copy it for Zapier.
In Zapier, add a new connection for Blogs API and select the GHL API key.
Map title, content, slug, category, and schedule; run a test to verify data flow.
No heavy coding is required; you can connect using Zapier using API keys generated in GHL. The setup guides walk you through authentication, endpoint selection, and field mapping. This no-code approach lets you automate publishing, updates, and distribution without writing server-side code.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. You may also leverage GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
Slug validation is done by checking slug existence via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If it exists, you can request an alternative slug or auto-append a unique suffix. In Zapier, you can implement a condition to prevent duplicates before creation.
Yes. Zapier can schedule posts and trigger publishing workflows. Use Zapier’s Schedule by Zapier or a time-based trigger to run PUT to update publish status. You can also align with emails to notify your audiences.
Scope should include emails/builder.readonly for reading templates and blogs endpoints. Ensure your API key has the needed permissions. Always follow least-privilege and rotate keys.
Store API keys securely in Zapier’s connection settings or a secret manager. Use OAuth where available and avoid embedding keys in workflows. Test connections regularly and monitor for failed requests.
API usage limits vary by plan. Review GHL API docs for quotas and throttling guidance. If you exceed limits, implement exponential backoff. Zapier retries and error handling can help manage bursts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
