Use the workflow’s OAuth2 or API key method to securely authenticate between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
In Zapier, configure credentials once and reuse them in triggers and actions to securely access Blogs API.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Trigger: New content in APPNAME; Action: Create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Map fields like title, content, slug, author, and category to GHL’s post fields.

A quick glossary of terms used in this guide, including GHL, API, endpoints, slug, authentication, categories, and authors.
GHL refers to the platform’s API endpoints used to automate CRM, blogs, emails, and scheduling within your marketing stack.
An endpoint is a specific URL in the API that performs a function, such as creating a post.
API stands for Application Programming Interface; it defines how apps like Blogs API and Zapier talk to each other.
A slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, used in SEO and slug-exists checks.
Monitor Pendo changes and automatically draft blog posts in GHL via POST /blogs/posts.
When a post is published, automatically notify subscribers via the emails workflow.
Validate slug before publishing to avoid duplicates using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Enter credentials or OAuth settings in Zapier and test the connection to GHL endpoints.
Create triggers and actions mapping blog fields to GHL post fields.
Use Zapier’s test mode to verify results before turning on automation.
No coding is required. Use triggers and actions in Zapier to connect Blogs API to GHL endpoints and automate tasks. If you need more control, you can chain steps or add delays within simple automations. For advanced scenarios, consider using webhooks within the no-code framework to respond to specific events.
Essential endpoints typically include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. These cover the core blog publishing workflow and content routing.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check for existing slugs before creating or updating a post. If the slug exists, regenerate a unique slug or update the existing post accordingly. This helps prevent duplicate content and preserves SEO.
Yes. You can update a post after publishing by triggering PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the updated fields. Ensure you pass the postId to identify the post and include any fields you want to change.
Authenticate using the Blogs API credentials configured in Zapier, typically via OAuth2 or an API key. Store tokens securely in Zapier and refresh them as needed to maintain access without downtime.
Schedule posts by planning publish times in Zapier and using the appropriate blog post payload. Consider time zones, cadence, and consistency to optimize engagement across channels.
