Authenticate with GHL using your API credentials and grant the Zapier App Connector the requested scopes. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
In Zapier, set up OAuth2 for Blogs API to securely authorize connections. The connector handles token refresh automatically so you can focus on automation.

No coding required: automate post creation and updates with a few clicks.
Centralized workflows: manage posts, authors, and categories from one automation platform.
Fast testing and deployment with Zapier’s built-in tools and live endpoint feedback.
Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, method paths, and key fields to build robust automations between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a function in the API, such as creating or updating a blog post.
An HTTP method used to create a new resource on the server, e.g., a new blog post.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the blog URL for SEO and readability.
A real-time notification sent from an app to Zapier when events occur, enabling instant automation.
Pull the latest posts and publish summaries to social or email channels via Zapier.
Turn briefs into drafts in Blogs API and schedule for publication via Zapier workflows.
Adjust tags, categories, and metadata based on engagement data sourced in your analytics stack.
In Zapier, authorize the Blogs API connection using OAuth2 and select the required scopes (e.g., read/write posts).
Map fields such as title, content, slug, author, and category to create and update posts via POST and PUT endpoints.
Run test requests, review responses, and deploy your Zap.
The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to create and manage blog content, categories, and authors. It’s designed to be used by automation tools like the Zapier App Connector to enable publishing workflows without code. With proper authentication and permissions, you can automate the full publishing lifecycle.
You don’t need to write traditional code. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect to the Blogs API, map fields, and set up triggers and actions. For more advanced setups, you can add transformations or conditional logic using Zapier’s built-in tools.
Publish a blog post by sending a POST to /blogs/posts with required fields like title, content, and author. If you need updates, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify the post without recreating it.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. This helps prevent duplicates and preserves SEO rankings.
Yes. You can manage authors and categories via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, and create new entries with POST requests. Link posts to authors and categories by setting IDs in your create/update requests.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and OAuth scopes. Design efficient automations and consider batching where possible. If limits are reached, stagger requests or queue tasks in Zapier.
Test with Zapier’s built-in test steps and, if available, API sandbox environments. Validate responses, field mappings, and slug handling. Adjust authentication, scopes, or endpoint usage based on results.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
