To authenticate the GHL Blogs API with Zapier, generate an API key in GHL and add it to the Zapier app connection. Use OAuth or API key as required by your setup, then test the connection to ensure a secure link. If you run into issues, regenerate credentials and reauthorize the connection.
Publishing a post generally requires the create post endpoint POST /blogs/posts and appropriate fields like title, content, and slug. You may also set publish status and date. Use the update endpoint PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for changes after publishing.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability before creating a post. If the slug exists, prompt for a different slug or auto-adjust with a suffix.
Bulk updates can be performed by iterating over posts and calling PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for each item. Consider rate limits and error handling in your Zap.
Webhooks are optional but can be enabled to receive events such as new posts or updates. Configure your endpoint in Zapier to receive and process these events.
Required fields typically include title, content, slug, and author, with optional fields like excerpt and category. Check the API docs for default values and validation rules.
To keep authors and categories in sync, pull lists from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map these fields in Zapier to ensure consistency across systems. Schedule regular syncs if needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
