Access to the Blogs API is secured with API keys or OAuth credentials issued in the GHL developer portal. In Zapier, configure the authentication step to store and refresh your token, then select the appropriate endpoint permissions (for example blogs posts and blogs categories) in your Zap.
Zapier App Connector authenticates to Blogs API using the credentials you provide (OAuth 2.0 or API key). During setup, you’ll authorize the connection and test access to ensure the app can read and write posts.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST /emails/builder/data; PUT /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. The full list shown below covers additional operations for emails and blogs relevant to the Mautic and Zapier integration.
Triggers when a new blog post is created in Blogs API, allowing downstream actions in Zapier such as publishing to social channels or notifying a team.
Actions include retrieving post data, formatting it for other apps, and performing follow-up tasks such as publishing, scheduling, or updating related records.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, author, publishedDate
Triggers when a blog post is updated in Blogs API, enabling actions like re-publishing or notifying subscribers.
Actions: update post content, change status, re-publish, or sync changes to connected tools.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Triggers when a new draft or post is created in Blogs API, starting an automation in Zapier.
Actions: submit post data, assign metadata, and publish or schedule posts.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, category, slug
Automate publishing workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Sync blog data with marketing tools, newsletters, social channels, and analytics through repeatable Zapier automations.
Schedule posts and manage content lifecycle entirely from a single no-code dashboard.
This glossary explains essential terms used when connecting the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector and helps you understand how endpoints, authentication, and data fields relate.
An application programming interface that exposes endpoints to read and write data from Blogs.
A URL-friendly version of a blog post title used in the post URL.
A blog entry with fields such as title, body, author, and category.
A specific path in the API for a resource, such as /blogs/posts or /blogs/categories.
Automatically push new posts to social platforms, newsletters, and CMS when published.
Republish updated posts to partner sites and RSS feeds.
Create drafts, assign authors, and set review steps automatically.
Retrieve API keys and OAuth credentials from Blogs API and configure in Zapier.
Create a Zap with a Blogs API trigger (new post) and actions (publish, update, notify).
Run tests, verify data, monitor logs, and roll out.
Blogs API supports API key-based authentication as well as OAuth 2.0. In Zapier App Connector, choose the preferred method during connection setup and securely store tokens for reuse. If your organization uses API keys, enter the key in the provided field; for OAuth, you’ll be guided through the consent flow to grant access.
Common endpoints include those for reading and writing posts (GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), as well as endpoints for managing categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). These endpoints enable create, read, update, and organization of blog content from Zapier without code.
Yes. Use the slug existence check endpoint (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to verify that a slug is unique before creating a new post. This helps prevent duplicates in your CMS.
Scheduling posts can be done by including a publish date or using a delay in Zapier. The Blogs API supports scheduling by setting the desired publish date on create or update actions.
If a post update fails, Zapier will retry according to its retry policy. You can configure webhooks or follow-up steps to notify your team and correct the data.
No in-code development is required for typical workflows. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to configure triggers, actions, and data mappings.
Use the test connection feature in Zapier during setup. Zapier will run sample requests to verify authentication, endpoint access, and data mappings before you enable the Zap.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
