To connect, use your GHL API key with the required scope: emails/builder.readonly. This enables read access to email templates used in blog workflows.
In Zapier App Connector, authenticate using OAuth 2.0. Provide the client ID, client secret, and redirect URI, then authorize the connection to access the Blogs API endpoints.
Examples 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, and GET /blogs/posts. Use these to read, create, update, and validate blog content.
Trigger: when a new email draft is ready in the Emails Builder, create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and use email content as the post body.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Required fields: title, content, slug, author_id, and status
Trigger: scheduled time or calendar event from APPNAME to publish content.
Actions: fetch draft content with GET /blogs/posts, finalize formatting, then publish with POST /blogs/posts.
Method paths: GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: postId, title, publishDate, status
Trigger: fetch authors and categories to enrich posts.
Actions: pull GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate templates and assign metadata.
Method paths: GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
Fields: author_id, category_id, bio, display_name
Automate blog workflows without writing code, using visual triggers and actions in APPNAME.

This glossary explains the common terms you’ll see when connecting GHL’s Blogs API with APPNAME, including endpoints, triggers, actions, method paths, and data fields.
A specific URL on the GHL API used to perform an action when called.
An event in APPNAME or GHL that starts a workflow, such as a new blog post or a scheduled time.
The operation performed by APPNAME on GHL data, such as create, update, or retrieve a post.
An HTTP method combined with an endpoint, for example POST /blogs/posts.
Automatically generate a weekly summary from emails and publish as a blog post via the Blogs API.
Capture user-submitted content from APPNAME forms and publish to your blog.
Pull author bios from GHL and attach to posts for consistency.
Obtain your GHL API key (with scope emails/builder.readonly) and set up the Zapier App Connector connection.
Map the endpoints you need from the Blogs API to triggers and actions in APPNAME.
Run tests, verify data flow between GHL and APPNAME, then enable your automation.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage blog content and related emails within GHL. This lets you pull drafts, publish posts, and validate slug availability. It is designed for seamless integration with automation tools. Using APPNAME, you can trigger post creation from events like new emails or scheduled times, and you can publish or update posts without writing code.
No coding is required; APPNAME provides a visual workflow builder to connect GHL endpoints. A basic understanding of endpoints helps you map triggers and actions, but templates cover most common uses.
For publishing, POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing ones are the most used endpoints. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates and GET /blogs/categories to tag posts appropriately.
Authenticate with GHL by providing your API key and ensuring the correct scope. Complete the APPNAME OAuth flow to authorize access. Whitelist the redirect URI and confirm permissions on both sides to enable data flow.
Yes, scheduling is supported via the Emails builder and Zapier scheduling triggers. Posts can be scheduled by setting a publishDate or by using a time-based trigger in APPNAME.
Required fields when creating a post typically include title, content, slug, author_id, and status. Optional fields include excerpt, cover image, category_id, and tags for SEO enrichment.
To test, use the APPNAME test actions and review the API responses. Check Zapier and GHL logs to confirm data maps correctly and posts appear as expected.
