Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to securely authenticate your connection between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector. The required scope for this integration is emails/builder.readonly.
Zapier securely stores credentials and uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authorize requests to Blogs API. Start by creating a connection in Zapier and authorizing it to access the Blogs API with the required scopes.

The Blogs API integration lets you connect blog creation and management to Zapier App Connector without touching code. You can leverage a no-code workflow to create, update, and publish posts directly from Zapier triggers and actions. This bridge enables automated content workflows within your GHL environment, aligning blog data with campaigns, categories, authors, and schedules for consistent publishing.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys. In Zapier, create a new connection and authorize it to access the Blogs API with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and use Zapier’s built-in security features to protect your data in transit and at rest.
Core endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). You can also fetch categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). For a complete list of supported endpoints and their required fields, refer to the endpoint overview in this guide.
Yes. The slug existence check is performed with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify uniqueness before publishing. Use the response to generate or adjust a slug, ensuring there are no conflicts when you publish the post.
No traditional coding is required. Zapier App Connector acts as the glue between Blogs API and your GHL workflows, letting you map fields, trigger events, and perform actions without writing code. If you need advanced logic, you can still insert simple code steps in Zapier, but many use cases are fully achievable with triggers and actions alone.
To test connections, use Zapier’s test feature within the connection setup and inside each Zap. Verify that data maps correctly, endpoints return expected results, and that posts appear with correct fields in Blogs API. Utilize Sandboxes or test posts to validate end-to-end flows before going live.
Scheduling is achievable by combining the Blogs API with Zapier’s scheduling capabilities. You can set triggers to run at specific times and align publication with campaigns. Additionally, you can use emails/schedule endpoints to manage email-related publishing workflows where appropriate, extending your no-code automation beyond blog posts.
