To connect the Blogs API, use your API credentials and ensure the necessary scopes are granted for reading and writing posts. Establish a secure connection in your GHL developer settings and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your data.
Authenticate the Zapier App Connector by selecting your account and granting permission to access Blogs API data. Use OAuth or API key-based flow as supported by the connector.

No-code connections are possible using Zapier’s built-in Blog API connector. Start by selecting the Blogs API as the trigger or action app, then choose the specific endpoint (for example, POST /blogs/posts) to create content. Map fields like title, content, and slug to ensure posts publish with the correct data. This setup gives you a live, automated workflow without writing code. You can also create multi-step workflows where a draft from one source automatically becomes a published post in Blogs API, then triggers email notifications or cross-posts to other platforms.
For posting and updating content, use the core endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. Scheduling can be handled by including a publish date in your post data or by leveraging your Zapier workflow to set a future publish time. These endpoints cover the essential create, update, and verify actions you’ll need.
Authentication is typically handled by connecting your Blogs API account in the Zapier app settings, then selecting the appropriate connection when configuring a Zap. Depending on your setup, you may use API keys or OAuth. Ensure the connection has the necessary read/write scopes for posts and categories, and keep credentials secure.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including a publish date in the post payload when calling POST /blogs/posts, or by using a subsequent update call (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) to set a future publish time. Your Zap workflow can trigger at your desired time to publish.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug is already in use. If the slug exists, you can modify the post title or slug value in your Zap to generate a unique URL slug before publishing.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts during launches and use conditional logic in Zapier to avoid hitting limits. If you anticipate high volume, implement retries with backoff and consider batching non-urgent updates.
Error logs appear in Zapier task history and in the Blogs API response. Use Zapier’s built-in debugging tools to capture error codes and messages, then consult the endpoint documentation to diagnose issues with payloads, authentication, or slug conflicts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
