The Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 tokens. In your GHL developer console, generate client credentials and grant your Zapier App Connector access to the Blogs API scope. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
In Zapier, create or connect your app credentials to authenticate with the Blogs API. Use OAuth 2.0 client ID and secret and securely store tokens.
Key endpoints for this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Trigger: New blog post data arrives from Zapier App Connector.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create a new post; map title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug, and status.
POST /blogs/posts

Trigger: When composing a post, verify slug uniqueness.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug; if exists, return a suggestion.

The Blogs API is a set of programmatic endpoints that lets apps create, update, and manage blog content. When used with the Zapier App Connector, you can automate these tasks without manual data entry. This integration enables seamless content publishing and updates across connected systems. If you’re new, start with reading endpoint docs and trying a simple create post flow.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns and metadata in your workflows. These endpoints cover the typical publishing lifecycle.
No custom code is required for most common automations. Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that map fields between Apps. If complex logic is needed, you can add filters and path steps within Zapier to branch workflows without writing code.
To test, use Zapier’s test feature to pull sample data and run through a complete trigger-action sequence. Verify API responses and check any error messages in the Zap history. Adjust field mappings as needed and re-test until successful.
Yes. The integration can fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, allowing you to assign posts correctly. This keeps your content taxonomy consistent across platforms.
Slug validation analyzes the URL-friendly version of your post title. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm uniqueness before creation. If a collision occurs, generate an alternate slug automatically or prompt for manual adjustment.
Logs and errors appear in both the Blogs API console and Zapier task history. Review API responses, status codes, and error messages to diagnose problems. Enable verbose logging if available and re-run the workflow after fixes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
