Use your GHL API credentials with the required scope to securely access blog data. Ensure your token includes access to blog and related endpoints as needed.
Connect the Zapier App Connector using OAuth 2.0 or API key methods, then authorize the Blogs API access to pull and push data.

The Blogs API is a GHL API suite that lets you read and write blog data programmatically. Through the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger workflows when new posts are created or updated, or when categories/authors change, without writing code. This makes automated publishing and updating simple and scalable. Two-way data syncing is supported, so edits in your CMS can propagate to your blog entries automatically.
No-code integration is possible using the Zapier App Connector. You can configure triggers and actions with drag-and-drop steps, map fields, and test your workflow. While no coding is required, understanding endpoints and data mapping helps you tailor robust workflows and validation rules.
Key endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. GET /blogs/posts lets you read existing posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicates. To enrich posts, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors are also useful.
Use GET /blogs/categories to retrieve all categories and GET /blogs/authors to retrieve author records. Map these results to post properties in Zapier to ensure posts are accurately categorized and attributed. This enables dynamic field population during creation or updates.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title, content, or metadata after publishing. You can set up triggers to respond to edits or status changes, ensuring readers always see the latest version. Consider slug stability and versioning for consistency.
Authentication uses standard OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on what GHL supports for the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and rotate tokens regularly. Grant only the scopes you need (for example, read or write access to blog data) to minimize risk.
Zapier task history provides run-by-run logs and error details. You can enable verbose logging on the connector for deeper diagnostics. Additionally, review GHL API response codes and rate limits in the dashboard to fine-tune retries and timing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
