To begin, generate an API key from the GHL developer portal and grant the Blogs API scope. Then connect Real Geeks to authorize data flow between systems.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to act on behalf of Real Geeks and the Blogs API using the credentials you created in the previous step.
Core Endpoints you may use: GET emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data GET emails/schedule GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors GET blogs/check-slug.readonly GET /blogs/posts GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: New post created in Real Geeks
Actions: Create a new post in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts with title, content, slug, and category
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, category, featuredImage
Trigger: Post updated in Real Geeks
Actions: Update post in Blogs API using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with new content and slug
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, category
Trigger: Draft ready for review in Blogs API
Actions: Validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and map categories/authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, category, author

Create an API key in GHL with the required scope, then authorize Real Geeks to access the Blogs API.
Map Real Geeks fields to Blogs API fields (title, content, slug, category, author) and select the endpoints you will use.
Run a test to publish a post, verify slug creation, category assignment, and author mapping, then go live.
You authenticate using an API key generated in the GHL developer portal and grant the Blogs API scope. Then you connect Real Geeks in Zapier by selecting the Blogs API app and entering the API key. Keep your credentials secure and rotate keys regularly to minimize risk.
The essential endpoints for publishing posts include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. Slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help avoid duplicates. You can also fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Yes. Map fields such as title, content, slug, category, and author from Real Geeks to the corresponding Blogs API fields. This ensures posts appear correctly and consistently across both systems. Use the endpoint list to align field names and formats.
Absolutely. You can keep category and author mappings in sync by pulling data from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Schedule periodic refreshes to maintain alignment between Real Geeks and the Blogs API.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API tier. Plan for bursts during high publishing cycles and implement exponential backoff and retries. If you expect spikes, stagger publish times to stay within limits.
If an error occurs, review the API response for status codes and messages. Retry with backoff, verify credentials and scopes, and confirm mappings. Maintain logs for quick diagnosis and auditing.
To disconnect, remove the API key from the connection settings and revoke access in both Real Geeks and the Blogs API. To reconfigure, re‑authorize with updated mappings and endpoints as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
