Authenticate using your GHL API credentials. Use API keys or OAuth as provided by the Blogs API to ensure secure access for automation.
Connect Zapier App Connector to the Blogs API via OAuth2 or token-based methods. This establishes a secure bridge for triggers and actions.
API Endpoints used in this integration: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; 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
A new blog post is created in GHL via the Blogs API, triggering downstream actions.
Create or update email templates, send intro emails, notify teams.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, author, publishDate
When a blog post is updated in GHL, trigger actions in Zapier.
Update the post in Blogs API, refresh email templates, notify subscribers.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content, lastModified
Before publishing, verify slug uniqueness and fetch categories.
Check slug via blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, fetch categories and authors, create post.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, categoryId, authorId
Automate routine blog and email workflows without writing code.
Synchronize data across blogs, emails, and schedules with drag and drop setup.
Build custom automations using prebuilt actions and triggers.
This glossary covers key terms and processes used in the GHL Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path in the GHL API that performs a defined action such as retrieving a list or updating a post.
A URL friendly identifier used to access a blog post. Slugs must be unique within a blog.
A method for sending real time data from one app to another when an event occurs.
The process of verifying identity to securely access the GHL API or the Zapier App Connector.
Set up a workflow that creates a digest of new posts and sends it to an email list via the emails builder.
Push post titles and URLs to contact records for follow ups.
Trigger social media posts in your scheduler when a new post goes live.
Obtain API keys and configure OAuth in Zapier App Connector so the two systems can talk.
Run a quick test to ensure endpoints respond and data maps correctly.
Create a Zap with a blog post trigger and an emails builder action to automate campaigns.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to connect the Blogs API. You can map fields and set up triggers with a few clicks. If needed, you can reference the endpoints to customize your workflow.
For basic blog automation start with the core endpoints such as GET emails/builder or POST /blogs/posts. This gives you a simple workflow to publish posts and manage emails. You can extend later with additional endpoints as needed.
Yes. You can combine blog post actions with email builder actions in a single Zap. This allows you to publish a post and trigger a welcome email automatically.
Use the test connection feature in Zapier to verify API responses and field mappings. Check error messages and retry as needed.
Typically you need title and content for a post, plus optional slug, authorId and publishDate. Some endpoints require postId for updates.
Slug checks prevent duplicates by verifying that the slug already exists. If the slug is taken, you can adjust it or auto generate a unique slug.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL API reference and the Blogs API docs for the Zapier App Connector. Use the ENDPOINTLIST as a quick index.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
