Authenticate to the Blogs API using your GHL API key or OAuth credentials; store credentials securely and test connections in your Zapier app.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to the Blogs API by configuring OAuth or API keys in the app settings and validating the connection before building workflows.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New item in a Zapier workflow creates a blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Send title, content, slug, and category to POST /blogs/posts; optionally update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Paths used: POST /blogs/posts for create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates.
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId.
Trigger: An email arrives in the Email Builder that should update or create a blog post.
Actions: Retrieve blog metadata with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, then POST /blogs/posts to update content.
Paths used: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts.
Fields: authorId, categoryId, title, content, slug.
Trigger: Schedule a publish time to create or update posts via the Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update according to schedule.
Paths used: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Fields: publishDate, title, content, slug.
Automate content creation and publishing without writing a line of code.
Speed up publishing workflows and keep content in sync with emails and campaigns.
Centralize content management between Blogs API and email systems for consistency.
Understand essential terms and how the GHL Blogs API and Zapier App Connector work together.
GHL API is the programmatic interface to access GHL features including blogs, emails, and schedules.
Blogs API provides endpoints to manage posts, categories, authors, and related blog content in GHL.
Endpoints to create, update, retrieve, and delete blog posts, categories, and authors.
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier used to access a blog post by its short, readable path.
Turn incoming messages into draft blog posts using POST /blogs/posts.
Sync notes from the CRM into existing blog posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Publish posts on a schedule by leveraging calendar triggers and POST /blogs/posts.
Obtain a GHL API key and configure OAuth in the Zapier App Connector.
Test endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts in a test Zap.
Create a Zap that uses the Blogs API to publish posts and sync content with emails.
The Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector lets you automate blog publishing and updates from within Zapier using GHL endpoints. You can create, update, and retrieve posts, manage categories and authors, and attach metadata to posts. It enables connecting blog content with email and marketing workflows without custom coding.
No advanced coding is required. The connector provides a user-friendly interface to map fields (title, content, slug, category) to API calls. You can test connections and run simple Zaps to automate tasks. If you need more complex logic, you can extend with standard Zapier actions and filters.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. For initial publishing, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts and optionally GET /blogs/posts to verify creation.
Slug conflicts happen when two posts share the same slug. Use the slug existence check endpoint to validate or generate a unique slug. You can also implement a fallback naming strategy in your Zap to append a sequence or timestamp.
Yes. You can trigger blog updates from incoming emails, campaign events, or CRM data. By mapping email content or CRM fields to post fields, you can automatically publish or update posts via POST or PUT requests.
Supported authentication options include API keys and OAuth. Set up credentials in the GHL app and the Zapier App Connector, then test the connection to ensure secure access to endpoints.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL developer docs and within the Zapier app integration details. Start with the Blogs endpoints section and the authentication guide, then explore sample zaps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
