Blogs API uses secure OAuth 2.0 authentication. You’ll create credentials in the GHL dashboard, request the necessary scopes, and exchange tokens to perform actions from Zapier.
In Zapier, connect your app using OAuth 2.0 or an API key, then securely store tokens and refresh them automatically for uninterrupted access.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data. These cover content creation, updates, validation, and metadata needed to automate workflows.
Trigger: when a new blog post is created in Blogs API, initiating downstream automations in your connected apps.
Actions: create or update posts via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; fetch details with GET /blogs/posts to populate data in other tools.
Methods used: GET, POST, PUT
Key fields include postId, title, slug, content, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: fetch blogs data (titles, slugs, authors) without modifying content.
Actions: list categories and authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; validate if a slug exists with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Methods: GET
Fields: postId, slug, title, publishedDate, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: updates to existing posts reflect across connected apps.
Actions: update posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; monitor changes.
Methods: PUT, GET
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content
Automate publishing and updates across platforms without writing code, using triggers and actions in Zapier.
Keep content synchronized between Blogs API and your other apps for consistent messaging.
Speed up workflows with reusable templates and multi-step automation.
This guide covers API endpoints, authentication, data fields, slug handling, categories, authors, and the glossary terms used throughout the integration.
A defined set of endpoints and protocols that allow apps to communicate programmatically.
The process of verifying identity and granting access tokens to use the API.
A URL path that performs a specific operation on a resource.
A URL-friendly string used in blog post URLs to describe content.
When a draft is saved in your CMS, Zapier creates a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts and queues it for publishing.
Schedule publications by triggering POST /blogs/posts with a defined publishDate, then publish across channels.
Send alerts (Slack/email) when PUT /blogs/posts/:postId runs to reflect changes.
Register your Zapier app and obtain client ID and secret for OAuth 2.0 authentication.
Add required scopes and map endpoints to triggers and actions in Zapier.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flows, and enable automation.
No-code integrations let you automate workflows without writing code. Use triggers and actions in Zapier to connect Blogs API to your other apps. This makes publishing and updating blog content faster and more accurate.
Key publishing endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. You may also use GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability and retrieve content.
Authenticate with GHL using OAuth 2.0. Generate client credentials in the GHL dashboard and configure the Zapier app to exchange tokens securely. Regularly refresh tokens to keep access active.
Yes. You can schedule posts by providing a publishDate in the create or update requests (POST /blogs/posts). The workflow can trigger publishing at a specified time or after approval.
The integration supports retrieving categories via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors, making it easy to tag posts consistently.
API rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Plan for bursts and implement backoff in your Zapier workflows to avoid throttling.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent duplicate or broken URLs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
