Grant scope access for emails/builder.readonly and related endpoints so PlatoForms can read and push content into your Blogs API workspace.
Approve PlatoForms to connect with your GHL account, enabling post creation, scheduling, and template use to flow between systems.
Key endpoints used include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /emails/schedule, and related data endpoints for reading emails, schedules, posts, categories, and authors.
Trigger on a new form submission in PlatoForms to create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create a post, assign author and category, and publish or schedule.
Example paths: POST /blogs/posts to publish; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate a slug.
Key fields: title, slug, content, author_id, category_id, tags, status.
Trigger when a new blog post is created to send an email via the emails builder endpoints.
Actions: compose and send email templates, attach post link, and schedule follow-ups.
Paths: POST /emails/builder to create an email, POST /emails/builder/data to populate content.
Fields: to, subject, body, template_id, post_id.
Trigger scheduled publishing when a time is reached to post content via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/posts.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts (create), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug checks).
Fields: publish_time, postId, slug, status, title, content.
Create end‑to‑end content workflows without writing code.
Capture form data directly into blog drafts and automate publishing.
Coordinate teams with centralized triggers, schedules, and templates.
Understand the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used to connect Blogs API with PlatoForms.
An API route that performs a specific operation, such as creating a post or retrieving posts.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title, used in the post URL.
A blog article managed by the Blogs API.
A time-based trigger that determines when content goes live.
Capture form data in PlatoForms and publish to Blogs API as drafts that editors can review.
Automatically email subscribers when a new post is published.
Coordinate launch sequences by scheduling posts and emails together.
Connect both accounts and grant permissions for required scopes.
Choose events like form submissions and post creation to drive automation.
Run tests, validate endpoints, and enable your workflow.
No code is required—use the Zapier App Connector to link PlatoForms with Blogs API and trigger actions from form submissions to post creation. The setup guides you through authentication and field mapping. Test in a sandbox environment to confirm the workflow before going live.
Most workflows start with essential endpoints like GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and POST /blogs/posts. Create a post, then extend with emails and scheduling as needed. Consult the endpoint catalog to tailor your automation.
Yes. You can schedule posts and trigger emails in the same flow. Use publish_time on posts and the emails endpoints to coordinate delivery. Test timing and adjust as your content cadence changes.
Map fields such as title, slug, content, author_id, category_id, and tags. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs before publishing. Keep a consistent schema across posts.
Slug existence checks prevent duplicates. If a slug already exists, automatically try a title-based variant or append a version number. You can automate this fallback within your Zapier workflow.
API call limits depend on your plan and rate settings. Start with read-only scopes to test, and scale up as you validate workloads. Consider batching calls or using scheduling to avoid throttling.
We provide example payloads, templates, and step-by-step tutorials in the docs. You can also download payload samples from the endpoint catalog and adapt them to your workflow. If you need tailored templates, contact support for a walkthrough.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
