Obtain an access token with the required scope for your endpoints (e.g., emails/builder.readonly for email-related endpoints and appropriate blog scopes for posts, categories, and authors). Use this token in your Zapier app to authorize requests to the Blogs API.
In the Zapier app, configure authentication to securely store and reuse your GHL tokens. Choose OAuth or API key, then test the connection to ensure Paraguard access to both email and blog endpoints.
Endpoint groups include Email Builder actions and Blog content actions. Example requests span GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors. Each entry is used to automate email templates and blog content workflows within Zapier.

When a draft is emailed to a mailbox, Zapier creates a blog post draft in Blogs API for review.
Sync published and scheduled posts with a shared calendar and notify teams on updates.
Obtain an access token or API key with the required scopes for both emails and blogs endpoints.
Add your credentials to the Zapier app, select authentication method, and test the connection.
Create Zaps that use blog and email endpoints, run tests, and deploy to automations.
Start with the core blog endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/categories to assign topics. This lets you automate post creation and categorization. If you need to validate slugs before publishing, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Authentication in Zapier is configured in the app’s settings. You can use OAuth or an API key. After saving credentials, use the Test Connection to confirm access to endpoints like /blogs/posts and /blogs/categories.
Yes. Use the publishing workflow by creating a new post with POST /blogs/posts and optionally scheduling it with a scheduled_time parameter. You can also update existing posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title. It ensures clean, readable URLs and helps with SEO and duplicate prevention. You can check existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists checks whether a slug is already used. This helps prevent duplicate content and maintain consistent URLs across your site.
