To securely use the Blogs API, obtain your GHL credentials from the developer portal and configure OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token authentication in Zapier. Keep tokens confidential and rotate them as recommended.
In Zapier, connect to Blogs API by creating a new connection and entering your GHL API credentials. Test the connection to ensure the API responds to requests.

This glossary covers core terms and processes used when connecting GHL Blogs API to Zapier App Connector.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how software components communicate.
A specific URL the API exposes to perform an action or fetch data.
The process of verifying identity to grant access to an API.
A URL-friendly identifier used in post URLs.
Idea: collect article drafts via a form and publish them to Blogs API automatically when submitted.
Idea: when a new post is created, automatically add it to a weekly newsletter via Email templates.
Idea: refresh slug and meta description when the post is updated.
Obtain your API credentials from the GHL developer portal and configure them in Zapier.
Create a new connection in Zapier and run tests to confirm you can reach endpoints like /blogs/posts and /blogs/authors.
Choose a trigger (e.g., new blog post) and an action (e.g., publish or update), map fields, and enable.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens or API keys issued from the GHL developer portal. Start by creating a new app integration in GHL, then configure the token in Zapier’s connection settings. Test the connection to confirm access to endpoints like /blogs/posts and /blogs/authors. If token rotation or scope changes are required, update your Zapier connection accordingly and re-test to ensure uninterrupted automation.
For content publishing, the most commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. You can also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing.
Yes. You can test endpoints in a sandbox or with draft posts. Use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create a test post and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. This helps you validate field mappings and workflow logic without affecting live content.
Map fields by aligning Zapier trigger/output fields with GHL Blog fields (title, content, slug, author, category). Use Zapier’s formatter to transform data (e.g., date formats) and ensure slugs remain unique. Test each field mapping to confirm correct data transfer.
Most changes are reflected in real-time once the Zap runs and the target endpoint supports immediate updates. For continuous sync, configure two-way checks or scheduled refreshes as needed. Remember to handle conflicts gracefully in your workflow.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan for backoff and retries in Zapier if you hit limits. Cache frequently requested data where possible and stagger requests to avoid bursts.
Resources include the GHL developer portal, Zapier’s app connectors, and community forums. If you need direct support, use the official support channels or the integration’s help center to get guidance on authentication, endpoint usage, and troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
