To enable seamless data exchange, grant GHL access to Blogs API using standard OAuth2 or API key flows, ensuring the Blogs API scope matches emails and blog operations.
Create a connection in Zapier by supplying your Blogs API credentials and selecting the appropriate scope for blogs, posts, and authors.

Drag-and-drop workflow creation without writing code
Automated publishing, updating, and archiving of blog content
Consistent data across Blogs API and GHL with actionable insights
This section defines core terms like API, endpoint, slug, OAuth, and how they relate to the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
A set of rules and tools that lets different software applications talk to each other and exchange data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined operation, such as retrieving posts or creating a new post.
An authorization framework that allows apps to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, typically via tokens.
A URL-friendly string that uniquely identifies a blog post, used in routing and SEO.
Publish new blogs to your website, newsletter, and social channels from a single Zapier workflow.
Move outdated posts to an archive category automatically to keep your feed fresh.
Sync editorial calendars between your CMS and Blogs API for seamless planning.
Add Blogs API credentials and authorize access using the chosen authentication flow.
Define triggers like new posts or updates, and actions such as create or update posts in GHL.
Run test events to verify data flow, then enable the Zapier workflow for ongoing automation.
No coding is required. Use Zapier to connect Blogs API with GHL through predefined triggers and actions. You can also customize fields to fit your data model. If you need advanced logic, simple conditional steps can handle branching without writing code.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creation, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/authors for author data. You may also leverage GET /blogs/categories to group posts by category.
Use the slug check endpoint to verify availability before publishing. If a slug exists, you can automatically generate an alternative slug or adjust the title to resolve conflicts within your workflow.
Yes. You can map blog metadata such as title, excerpt, author, category, and tags to corresponding GHL fields. Custom fields in GHL can store additional blog attributes for richer segmentation.
End-user rate limits depend on your plan. In most cases, moderate automation will remain well within limits. If you expect bursts, add delays or batching in Zapier to stay within quotas.
Use Zapier’s built-in test feature to simulate triggers and actions. Check the task history and error details in Zapier, then adjust mappings or endpoints as needed.
Logs can be found in Zapier task history and in the Blogs API access logs if you enable verbose logging. Use these to pinpoint failed fields or authorization issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
