Authenticate the Blogs API connection using your GHL API credentials (API key or OAuth token) with the correct scopes.
Authorize Zapier App Connector to access Blogs API data, and apply your chosen security scope for reliable sync.

This glossary explains common API terms, typical payloads, endpoints, authentication, and how to map triggers to actions between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface that lets software apps talk to each other.
A specific URL path used to perform an API function.
The process of verifying identity to securely access API resources.
The data sent to or received from an API in a request or response.
Automatically publish a new blog post and trigger a welcome email series via Emails Builder.
Whenever a post is updated in Blogs API, notify subscribers and fans through automated emails.
Backfill historical posts into ongoing campaigns to drive engagement.
Provide credentials and grant permission to access the required scopes for both Apps.
Choose the endpoints you will use (for example GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts) and set triggers.
Run tests, review data mappings, and deploy to automation.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints to create, update, retrieve, and manage blog content and related Email Builder templates and campaigns. When connected to Zapier App Connector, you can automate publishing and outreach workflows without coding and with proper security scopes. This guide walks you through authentication, endpoint selection, and data mapping to ensure secure and reliable automation.
You don’t need to be a developer to set up basic workflows; the no-code interface guides you through authentication and mapping. For more advanced scenarios, you can customize triggers and actions. Start with a simple publish flow and expand to updates and archiving as you become comfortable.
Essential endpoints for basic publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts to review content. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. Additional endpoints like PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/categories help manage posts and taxonomy as your automation grows.
Yes. Use the test connection and sandbox data to verify mappings without impacting live data. Zapier provides test steps and sample payloads to confirm triggers and actions. This helps you validate field mappings, data types, and timing before going live.
You can update existing posts using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with new title, content, or status. After updates, you can re-run campaigns or notify subscribers automatically. This enables dynamic content updates within automated email campaigns and reader notifications.
Supported authentication methods typically include API key and OAuth token, depending on your GHL plan. Keep tokens secure and scope-limited to minimize risk. If your setup requires rotation or revocation, update credentials in both Apps and re-authenticate the connection.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; consult the GHL API docs for current quotas. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and batching in your Zapier workflows. Caching and consolidating requests can also help maintain resilience during heavy automation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
