Authenticate to Blogs API using your GHL credentials and the Zapier connection token. Ensure the scope emails/builder.readonly is granted to read email templates and builder data as needed.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API app using OAuth or an API key, ensuring the connection token and scope (emails/builder.readonly) are correctly configured.

Trigger: A new idea or draft is added in your CMS, which starts a blog post creation in Blogs API via Zapier.
Actions: compose content, assign metadata (author, category), and publish or schedule the post.
Method: POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates.
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, category.
Trigger: An emails/builder event or a newsletter change prompts a blog update in Blogs API.
Actions: push content updates to the post, attach media, and schedule publication.
Method: POST /emails/builder/data to attach content; or POST /blogs/posts for new updates.
Fields: recipient, postId, status, tags.
Trigger: Creating a new post requires a unique slug or existing slug validation.
Actions: verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and finalize with POST/PUT operations.
Method: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Fields: slug, postId, status.

Obtain API credentials from Blogs API and connect the Zapier App Connector with the proper scope (including emails/builder.readonly).
Select endpoints from the available list (e.g., blogs/posts, emails/builder) and run test requests to verify responses.
Turn on automation, monitor execution logs, and refine triggers and actions as needed.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints to create, update, and manage blog content from external apps. It integrates with the Zapier App Connector to automate these actions in response to triggers from your workflow. This combination lets you publish posts, update metadata, and distribute content without manual steps. To get started, authenticate with valid credentials and grant the necessary scopes for reading email templates and builder data as needed.
Supported methods typically involve token-based authentication or API keys. You’ll generate a token with the required scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly) and securely store it in Zapier’s connection settings. Rotating tokens and restricting scopes to the minimum required improves security and compliance.
Common endpoints include creating posts (blogs/posts), updating posts (blogs/post-update and PUT on blogs/posts/:postId), and managing content assets via blogs/check-slug.readonly or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Depending on your workflow, you may also manage email assets (emails/builder) and schedules (emails/schedule) to coordinate publishing times.
Slug existence can be verified with the slug-check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is taken, you can adjust the slug value or generate an alternative until a unique one is found. This prevents duplicate URLs and ensures consistent routing.
Yes. Zapier can trigger scheduling actions or direct publishes by using endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and POST /emails/builder/data to attach content and schedule publication. You can coordinate publish times with the blogs/schedule endpoints to automate multi-channel distribution.
Common rate limits depend on your plan. Build resilient workflows by handling 429 responses with exponential backoff and implementing retry logic. Use idempotent requests where possible to prevent duplicate posts, and log errors for quick diagnosis.
Sample payloads and tutorials are available in the Blogs API developer docs and Zapier app guides. Start with a basic post payload, then expand with author, category, and slug fields. The guides also include example triggers, actions, and test payloads to accelerate your setup.
