Authenticate securely using the Blogs API setup in your GHL developer settings. Configure OAuth 2.0 or an API key as required, and ensure Zapier App Connector can exchange valid tokens for each request.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API app by selecting the appropriate authentication method and providing credentials or OAuth details. This keeps data secure and requests authorized between Zapier and GHL.
Key endpoints used in the integration include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET blogs/post.write; PUT blogs/post-update.write; GET /blogs/categories; GET blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.

Key terms and processes illustrated here help you understand how the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector work together to automate content and email workflows.
An Application Programming Interface that allows different software systems to communicate by sending requests and receiving data in a standardized way.
A specific path in an API that performs a defined operation such as retrieving data or updating a resource.
The process of verifying identity to allow access to an API, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
A URL friendly string used to identify a specific blog post in a human readable form.
When a new blog post is published, automatically trigger an email to subscribers using the Blogs API email templates to announce the post.
Watch for slug existence via the slug check endpoint and post a notification to Slack when a new post is ready to publish.
Aggregate posts by category and send a weekly digest email using the email builder to keep teams informed.
Set up OAuth or API keys in both the Blogs API and Zapier app, then test the connection to ensure tokens are valid.
Choose the 17 endpoints that power your workflows and map them to the corresponding Zapier triggers and actions.
Run end-to-end tests, validate data formats, handle errors gracefully, and enable automation for production use.
The Blogs API lets Zapier trigger and act on blog related events and email templates without writing code. It enables you to publish posts, manage email builders, and automate notifications from a single workflow.
No code is required for basic use. Zapier provides a visual workflow designer to map endpoints to triggers and actions. Advanced scenarios may require custom fields, but the core integration is no code.
For a basic publishing flow you will typically use POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts as needed.
Authentication is handled in two layers: secure token exchange between GHL and Zapier via OAuth 2.0 or API keys, and per-request validation that ensures only authorized apps can interact with the endpoints.
Yes. You can link email template creation and updates with blog events. Use GET and POST endpoints for emails/builder alongside blog post triggers to send announcements automatically.
Slug checks help prevent duplicate URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a post and update categories and authors via the respective endpoints to keep taxonomy consistent.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
