Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the Blogs API scope emails/builder.readonly. After authorization, you will receive access tokens to call endpoints such as POST blogs/posts and PUT blogs/posts/:postId.
In Zapier, configure OAuth credentials for the Zapier App Connector to securely authorize requests to the Blogs API. Store tokens securely and apply the necessary scopes for your workflows.
Endpoints covered include: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET emails/schedule.
Trigger: New post from your CMS can be pushed into Zapier to start a publishing workflow.
Actions: create post, attach metadata, set slug, publish status.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, published
Trigger: detect updates in your CMS and push changes to GHL.
Actions: update post fields, change slug, update published status.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId
Trigger: validate slug uniqueness before publishing to prevent duplicates.
Actions: verify slug existence, return existing status, suggest alternatives.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Build powerful automations quickly without writing code.
Automate end-to-end content workflows across CMS, website, and email.
Map data between GHL endpoints and Zapier so your content stays consistent.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping that connect the Blogs API to the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path you call to perform an action in an API, such as POST /blogs/posts.
The process of proving identity to access the API, typically OAuth 2.0 with access tokens.
A URL friendly string that identifies a post and is used in the post URL.
A callback mechanism over HTTP that delivers real-time updates between systems.
Automatically collect new posts and generate a summary to share via email, Slack, or your notification channel.
Publish posts to CMS, social channels, and newsletters from a single workflow.
Validate slug uniqueness before publishing to avoid duplicates.
Configure OAuth credentials for the Blogs API and authorize in the Zapier App Connector.
Select the endpoints you need and map fields for your workflows.
Run tests, verify data flows, and deploy automation in production.
The GHL Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog data including posts, categories, and authors. It enables creating, updating, fetching, and validating blog content from automated workflows. With Zapier App Connector, you can trigger and act on blog events without writing code. This makes it easy to automate publishing, updates, and validations across your CMS and marketing channels.
Yes. You can create new posts using POST /blogs/posts and update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Slug checks can be performed with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique URLs before publishing. Combine these with Zapier triggers to automate your content pipeline.
No code is required to use the integration. The setup uses ready-made triggers and actions in the Zapier App Connector to map fields and automate workflows. Advanced users can add custom data transformations if needed, but it is not required for common tasks.
Available endpoints include a range of blog related calls such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /emails/builder. You can also interact with emails endpoints when coordinating content with email campaigns.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You will obtain access tokens after granting consent. Tokens expire and require refresh tokens. Ensure your app has the necessary scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly) to perform the desired actions.
A slug is a URL friendly identifier derived from your post title. Slugs are important because they appear in the post URL and help with search engine optimization and readability. Ensuring slug uniqueness prevents duplicate content and broken links.
To test your setup, run a test connection in Zapier App Connector, trigger a sample post creation, and verify that data maps correctly to the Blogs API. Validate responses, check for errors, and iterate until the workflow publishes as expected.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
