To use Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, start by securely authenticating your GHL credentials. Use your API key or OAuth flow as provided, and ensure the requested scope aligns with your intended actions (e.g., read/write access to blog posts and categories).
In Zapier, connect your GHL account through the App Connector by selecting the appropriate authentication method (OAuth or API key) and testing the connection to confirm access to the required endpoints and data fields.
Blog endpoints you’ll likely use: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts (list). These endpoints enable creating, updating, validating slugs, and retrieving post metadata.

Authenticate to GHL and authorize Zapier App Connector to access required scopes.
Select the blogs endpoints you need and map data fields to Zapier fields.
Define triggers and actions in Zapier to automate publishing and updates.
You authenticate by securely providing your GHL API credentials to Zapier App Connector, choosing either API key or OAuth based on what your org supports. Test the connection to ensure access to blog post endpoints and categories. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly. In many setups, your Zapier app will proxy requests to Blogs API so you don’t have to expose keys in workflows.
Begin with publishing endpoints to create new posts (POST /blogs/posts) and to validate slugs (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Once you’re comfortable, add update endpoints (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) to modify content and status. This progressive approach minimizes risks while proving your automation works end-to-end.
Yes. Use the slug check endpoint (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to verify slug availability before publishing. If a slug exists, your workflow can generate a unique slug and retry the publish action automatically.
Required scopes typically include read/write access to blog posts, categories, and authors. Ensure your OAuth or API key grants these permissions. If you change scopes, re-test all connected Zapier workflows.
No code is required for most common automation tasks. You can connect Blogs API to Zapier App Connector with point-and-click configuration, using prebuilt triggers and actions to automate publishing, updating, and slug validation.
