To connect the Blogs API in Zapier, register a GHL OAuth 2.0 client, request the required scope emails/builder.readonly, and authorize the connection. Tokens are refreshed automatically and stored securely in Zapier.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 for the App Connector connection. After authorizing, you’ll see a connected account with a token scoped to read blog and email builder data. Tokens are stored securely and refreshed as needed.
– GET emails/builder – GET emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
When a new blog post is created or an existing post is updated in the Blogs API, this trigger starts your Zap so you can publish, notify, or sync metadata in downstream apps.
Actions: Create or Update Post, Fetch Post Details, Retrieve Slug
POST /blogs/posts (create) and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update) as appropriate
Key fields: title, content, author, slug, status
Trigger: When authors or categories change in Blogs API, keep your tags and metadata in Zapier up to date.
Actions: Get Authors, Get Categories
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: authorId, categoryId
Trigger: Post updated
Actions: Update Post, Retrieve Updated Slug, Sync Categories
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug
Create automated workflows that publish new blogs to CMS, newsletters, and social channels with a single Zap.
Keep blog metadata and author information in sync across systems in real time without custom coding.
Centralize content processes in one visual workflow to reduce manual steps and errors.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication methods, triggers, actions, and mappings between Blogs API data and Zapier operations. Understanding rate limits helps design reliable automations.
A defined URL path and HTTP method used to perform a specific action against the GHL API.
An authorization framework that grants limited access to resources without sharing user credentials.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in URLs and endpoints.
A callback URL used by apps to notify events or data changes in real time.
Automatically publish new blog posts to your CMS, email newsletters, and social channels when drafted in one workflow.
Refresh post slugs and categorization whenever authors update their profiles to maintain consistency.
Automatically move stale content to an archive with tagging to simplify retrieval.
Register and authorize the Blogs API in Zapier using OAuth 2.0 and the required scope, then review the connected account.
Select the endpoints you need (for example, posts, authors, categories) and map fields to your Zapier actions.
Create a Zap that uses the Blogs API endpoints to automate publishing, editing, and syncing.
You can automate publishing, editing, and retrieval of blog content across connected apps using the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector. This enables consistent content distribution without manual steps. In practice, you create a Zap that listens for new or updated posts and then pushes those changes to your CMS, newsletter system, or social channels. The setup is designed for no-code builders and marketing teams. Beyond posting, you can configure read actions to pull current post data for dashboards, approvals, or content calendars, keeping all systems aligned.
Read endpoints include getting lists of posts, authors, categories, and slug checks. Write endpoints cover creating or updating posts, as well as modifying email templates and data payloads. Use the endpoint list to pick exact actions you need, and map fields between Blogs API data and Zapier actions. For reliable workflows, implement error handling and retries in your Zaps.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll obtain a client ID/secret, authorize the connection, and Zapier will manage token refreshing. Tokens are scoped to the required access (for example, emails/builder.readonly) and are stored securely. If a token expires, Zapier will automatically refresh it so your automations keep running.
Yes. You can automate cross-channel publishing and updates. Create a Zap that triggers on blog creation or updates and then posts to your CMS, email newsletters, and social channels. You can also set up workflows to refresh metadata like slugs and categories in real time.
No hardcore coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code builders using Zapier–configure triggers, actions, and field mappings through a visual editor. Some familiarity with API concepts helps, but you can achieve complex workflows with standard Zapier steps.
Metadata updates depend on the endpoint and how you configure the Zap. Some fields update in real time, while others refresh on a scheduled run. The important part is to map the postId, slug, and category fields to the right endpoints so downstream systems reflect changes promptly.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API docs and within the Zapier app connector reference for Blogs API. You can view the supported read/write endpoints, required fields, and example payloads to jumpstart your workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
