Access to the Blogs API requires a valid GHL API key or OAuth token with the appropriate scopes (for example emails/builder.readonly). Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically.
Authenticate the Zapier side by connecting your Zapier account to the Blogs API app. Use OAuth2 or API keys depending on what the connector supports, then test a simple trigger to confirm access.
Key endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts
Trigger when a new or updated email template appears in Blogs API’s Email Builder.
Actions include create, update, or delete email templates from Zapier to Blogs API.
Example paths: GET emails/builder to fetch templates or POST emails/builder to create one.
Key fields: locationId, templateId, name, subject, content
Trigger when a new or updated blog post is detected in Blogs API.
Actions: create or update posts via the blogs/posts endpoints and ensure proper slug and metadata.
Example paths: POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content, slug, authorId
Trigger for scheduled publication or updates of blog posts.
Actions: schedule publish, publish now, or adjust timing within the Blogs API.
Example paths: POST /blogs/posts (with publish_date) or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, publish_date, status
Rapid automation without code: build workflows that connect email templates and blog posts in minutes.
Scalability: reuse steps across multiple Zaps to manage content at scale.
Error reduction: data validation and built-in retries help keep automations reliable.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and error handling. Understanding these terms helps you design robust no-code automations.
A specific URL and operation provided by an API (e.g., GET emails/builder) used to perform a task.
A real-time notification sent by an API when an event occurs, enabling automatic triggers.
The method used to verify identity, typically API keys or OAuth tokens required to call endpoints.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, derived from its title.
Create a weekly workflow that pulls draft posts from Blogs API and automatically schedules them via Zapier.
Automatically convert emails created in the Email Builder to blog posts when approved.
Assign posts to authors from Blogs API and sync with Zapier triggers.
Connect your accounts, grant permissions, and select the required scopes.
Pick endpoints like GET emails/builder or POST /blogs/posts and map source fields to destination fields.
Run a test Zap to verify data flow and activate your workflow.
Coding experience is not required. The Blogs API + Zapier App Connector is designed for no-code or low-code automation. Use triggers and actions to move data between systems without writing custom scripts.
Start with common content tasks: syncing email templates and publishing blog posts. Use GET emails/builder to pull templates and POST /blogs/posts to publish content.
API rate limits apply. Plan your automations to stay within quotas, and use batching where possible.
Check error codes, retry policies, and data validation steps within your Zapier workflow to handle failures gracefully.
Yes. Zapier lets you map custom fields using the app’s field mapping interface, ensuring data matches your Blogs API schema.
Use test mode in Zapier to simulate runs and inspect data flow before enabling live automations.
Documentation for endpoints is available in the Blogs API developer docs and Zapier app connectors guide.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
