Automate publishing and update workflows without writing code
Keep categories and authors in sync across platforms
Trigger web push alerts automatically with PushAlert on publish
Essential elements and processes for integrating the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector to manage blog content and push notifications.
A specific URL path combined with an HTTP method used to perform an action in the GHL API.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used for routing and SEO.
A single article or entry published on the blog.
A grouping of posts by topic for organization and discovery.

Synchronize slug and category changes across platforms to maintain SEO and organization.
Send a web push notification to subscribers when a new post goes live.
Enter your Blogs API keys or OAuth tokens and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access your GHL data.
Select blog events (publish, update) and map them to Zapier actions (create post, update post, push alerts).
Test the workflow end-to-end and deploy to production to start sending PushAlert web push notifications.
Yes. You can automate publishing of blog posts using the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector. By setting up a trigger for new posts and actions to create or update posts, you can publish content without manual steps. This reduces cycle time and ensures consistency across channels. Keep in mind to test workflows and handle errors gracefully.
Absolutely. You can set triggers that publish automatically after content is approved. Schedule posts to publish at a specific time and configure automatic updates across connected apps. This helps maintain a steady publishing cadence without manual intervention.
The primary endpoints for publishing are POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability and prevent duplicate slugs for SEO. Additional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors support content organization.
Test endpoints in a safe sandbox environment within Zapier. Validate payload structures, authentication, and response handling with sample data. Use test runs to confirm that posts are created, updated, and pushed to PushAlert as expected.
Security is enforced through API keys or OAuth tokens, scoped permissions, and encrypted connections. Rotate credentials regularly and apply least-privilege access. Monitor API calls and set alerts for unusual activity.
Yes. You can read and manage authors and categories via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, and you can create new categories or authors where supported. Use these to categorize posts and assign authors accurately.
Additional resources include the API reference, Zapier app guide, and PushAlert integration docs. You can also contact support or consult the community for examples and best practices.
