Use OAuth 2.0 tokens and a scoped API key to securely authorize the Blogs API from QuickBooks Online.
Connect QuickBooks Online to the GHL integration with OAuth 2.0, then grant the Blogs API the requested scope emails/builder.readonly.
Endpoints you’ll use include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/categories to build and monitor content and campaigns.
Triggered by a new blog post published in Blogs API to create a corresponding QuickBooks activity or notification.
Actions include creating/updating QuickBooks records and posting a summary of the new blog post for client visibility.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, author, publishedDate
Triggered when blog updates or templates change to schedule customer emails via the emails API.
Actions: send templated emails, track sends, and log engagement in QuickBooks.
Methods: GET emails/schedule and POST emails/builder
Key fields: locationId, templateId, scheduleId
Triggered by blog content that maps to customer invoices or receipts in QuickBooks.
Actions: create/update invoices or receipts in QuickBooks based on blog metadata.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, invoiceId, slug, categoryId
Faster go-to-market with no-code integrations and templates that map data between endpoints.
Drag-and-drop workflow setup that minimizes custom coding and accelerates deployment.
Lower risk of manual data entry errors and easier ongoing maintenance.
This glossary explains common data elements (postId, slug, category, author) and the processes used to connect the GHL Blogs API with QuickBooks Online.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that enable software components to communicate.
A callback URL that receives real-time event notifications from an API.
A standard authorization framework that issues tokens for secure API access.
A URL-friendly identifier for posts used in routing and SEO.
When a new blog post goes live, generate a QuickBooks notification or activity for your team.
Use blog events to trigger targeted email campaigns via the emails API.
Map blog topics to QuickBooks customer segments and tailor receipts accordingly.
Connect via OAuth 2.0 and grant scope emails/builder.readonly to access templates and schedules.
Choose endpoints (blogs and emails) and set up trigger logic in Zapier to push data to QuickBooks.
Run end-to-end tests, enable logging, and monitor for errors.
You can use endpoints like GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to pull templates, create campaigns, and update posts. The blogs-specific endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help publish and validate content before syncing with QuickBooks. In Zapier, configure triggers on blog publication and actions to push updates to QuickBooks. This keeps content and client communications aligned without writing code.
No full coding is required. The integration leverages Zapier App Connector and prebuilt endpoints from the GHL Blogs API. You’ll configure triggers and actions visually, map fields, and set up workflows that run automatically.
The connection uses OAuth 2.0 with scoped access tokens and API keys. Data is transmitted over secure channels, and you can limit scopes to emails/builder.readonly to minimize exposure. Regular token rotation and audit logs help maintain security.
Yes. Blog updates can trigger email campaigns via the emails API. You can schedule emails, template updates, and broadcasts to customers based on new posts or categories.
Common mappings include postId, slug, title, content, author, category, and publishedDate from blogs to corresponding QuickBooks fields for notes, invoices, or client communications.
Test the connection in a staging environment, use sample data, and review Zapier task history. Validate that blog events trigger the correct QuickBooks actions and that no sensitive data leaves scope beyond what you’ve allowed.
Logs are available in the Zapier task history and the GHL API dashboard. Use these diagnostics to troubleshoot triggers, endpoint responses, and token validity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
