Establish a secure connection by providing a valid GHL API key or OAuth credentials in the Blogs API integration within Zapier. Use least-privilege scopes to protect your data.
In Zapier, connect your Blogs API integration using the key or OAuth configured above; test the connection to ensure endpoints respond correctly.
Here are the available endpoints for the Blogs API integration via the Zapier App Connector. Use the endpoints most relevant to your workflow. – GET emails/builder – GET emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – GET emails/schedule – GET /emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new draft or update in your CMS triggers a POST/PUT to the Blogs API to create or update a post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create a post; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure a unique slug.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: Time-based scheduler or event-based publish when content is ready.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness; set publishDate for scheduling.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: postId, publishDate, slug, title
Trigger: A draft is ready for SEO optimization before publication.
Actions: Update metaDescription and keywords via POST /blogs/posts; verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; adjust category as needed.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: slug, metaDescription, keywords, title
Automate publishing and content workflows without writing code.

A piece of content created, updated, and published via the Blogs API endpoints.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title for unique, readable links.
The writer assigned to a blog post and tracked in author records.
A topic or section that groups posts for navigation and SEO.
When a new article is drafted in your CMS, automatically publish to your blog via POST /blogs/posts, including title, slug, and content.
Schedule a weekly task to run through posts and update metaDescription using the endpoint to update post data.
Automatically assign categories and tags based on content analysis and update via endpoints.
Generate an API key in GHL, add it to your Blogs API connection in Zapier, and save settings.
Choose OAuth 2.0 or API key method, then run a test to confirm access to endpoints.
Create a zap that triggers on new post drafts and uses POST /blogs/posts to publish.
The Blogs API supports a range of endpoints for posts, authors, and categories, including checks for slug uniqueness. See the endpoint list above for details on GET, POST, PUT, and slug-check operations. Emails-related endpoints are available for templates and scheduling but are separate from content publishing flows. This separation helps you build clean, focused blog automations.
No coding is required to build most automations in Zapier. Use triggers, actions, and field mappings to connect Blogs API endpoints. For advanced data handling, you can add custom code steps if needed, but templates and built-in actions cover the majority of workflows.
To test your connection, run the test connection action in Zapier after configuring the API credentials. Then try a dry-run of a post creation or slug check to ensure your requests return expected data and handle errors gracefully.
Yes. You can automate SEO tasks by updating meta descriptions and keywords during post creation or updates, and by checking slug existence to optimize SEO-friendly URLs.
You can fetch and assign authors and categories via GET endpoints and include authorId and categoryId in your post payloads to organize content effectively. This enables targeted workflows across teams.
Slug existence checks help ensure unique, readable URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug before publishing, and handle conflicts with a fallback slug strategy.
Common errors include authentication failures, invalid payloads, and rate limits. Zapier can retry on transient errors, and you should design idempotent workflows to avoid duplicate posts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
