Use API keys with scoped access (emails/builder.readonly and other endpoints). Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and grant the Zapier app the necessary read/write permissions for posts, schedules, and categories.
In Zapier, connect your Blogs API account by supplying the API key and OAuth credentials where applicable. Use the test connection to verify access to endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and GET emails/schedule.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new or updated blog post in Blogs API (GET /blogs/posts or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) triggers a Zap.
Actions: create, update, or publish a post using POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Optionally fetch data with GET /blogs/posts and enrich with authors from GET /blogs/authors.
Method/path examples: POST /blogs/posts (create); PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update).
Key fields: title, content, slug, status, authorId, publishedAt.
Trigger: new schedule data from emails/schedule or categories from GET /blogs/categories to keep timing and taxonomy in sync.
Actions: create/update schedules and categories, leveraging endpoints like GET emails/schedule and GET /blogs/categories to drive automations.
Method/path: GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/categories.
Key fields: scheduleTime, templateId, categoryId, locationId.
Trigger: fetch blog posts and related author details via GET /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors.
Actions: enrich posts with author data and publish or update using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and POST /blogs/posts.
Method/path: GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/authors; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Key fields: postId, authorId, slug, tags.
Automate publishing pipelines without writing code.
Keep content consistent across platforms by syncing categories and schedules automatically.
Accelerate content workflows with rapid testing and live previews in Zapier.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, and data fields. Understand the processes to build reliable automations.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how software components talk to each other and exchange data.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that you can request to perform an action or fetch data.
Authentication verifies identity to access resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
A slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, often derived from the title.
Automatically generate draft posts from templates and push to a publish queue in Zapier.
Sync new blog posts to connected social channels via Zapier automations.
Aggregate post metrics in a live dashboard to monitor engagement and performance.
Obtain your Blogs API key or OAuth credentials and verify access in Zapier.
Choose endpoints such as blogs/posts, blogs/authors, and emails/schedule to expose in Zapier.
Create Zaps that transform data into posts, schedules, or analytics.
Answer: The Blogs API lets you manage content via endpoints like /blogs/posts and /blogs/categories, while Zapier App Connector lets you connect those endpoints to automate actions. You can trigger on new posts and create or update posts from Zapier. This integration reduces manual steps and speeds up publishing.
Answer: For a basic workflow, start with GET blogs/posts to pull content, GET blogs/authors to enrich data, and POST /blogs/posts to publish new content. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. Combine with emails/schedule for timing.
Answer: No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a UI to map fields and call endpoints. You may still need minimal scripting if you want custom transformations.
Answer: Use the built-in test feature in Zapier to validate each step. Try test fetch for GET endpoints and a dry-run of POST/PUT operations in a safe workspace.
Answer: Use API keys or OAuth depending on your security needs. Ensure scopes like emails/builder.readonly are granted.
Answer: Yes. You can schedule posts and updates by using endpoints under emails/schedule and blogs categories, integrating with the Zapier scheduler.
Answer: Rate limits are defined by your GHL API plan. Check the developer docs for current limits and best practices to avoid throttling.
