Authenticate to GHL using OAuth 2.0 and secure tokens. Use the Blogs API client in Zapier to request and refresh access tokens, then apply them to all API calls in your workflows.
Authorize Zapier to access Red Spot Interactive data, granting permissions to Blogs API endpoints such as posts, categories, and authors. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.

Build end-to-end content workflows without writing code by linking blog data to email and landing pages in Zapier.
Maintain consistent branding with centralized data maps and reusable templates across posts and emails.
Monitor performance from a single dashboard with automated error handling and alerts.
Learn the core terms used throughout this guide, including endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, slug, categories, and authors.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that enables software components to communicate.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
An API method URL combined with an HTTP verb to access a resource.
The process of proving identity to access protected resources, typically via tokens or keys.
Automatically convert new blog posts into nurturing emails drafted in Red Spot Interactive.
Pull author bios from Blogs API to enrich newsletters and blog pages.
Use URL slugs to segment readers and tailor campaigns.
Connect your GHL account with Zapier and grant access to Blogs API and email endpoints.
Define triggers for new posts, drafts, or email templates and map fields to Red Spot Interactive templates.
Run tests in Zapier, verify data flow, then deploy automations.
Yes. The integrations are designed for no-code use via Zapier, with clear mapping of fields between Blogs API and Red Spot Interactive. Start simple: connect the accounts, pick a trigger, and choose actions without writing code. For advanced use, you can add conditional logic or multi-step workflows in Zapier to handle complex content flows.
Key endpoints for content automation include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. For email-related automation, use GET/POST on emails/builder endpoints to manage templates and campaigns. Combine these to build end-to-end publishing and outreach pipelines.
Security follows standard OAuth 2.0 and token-based approaches. Credentials are stored securely in Zapier with rotation recommendations. Always use least-privilege scopes and monitor token lifecycles to minimize risk.
Yes. You can customize templates and fields by mapping Blog post data and author metadata to your Red Spot Interactive templates. If a field is missing, you can add it via additional Zap steps or fallback defaults.
Test each step in Zapier using the built-in test features. Use separate test accounts to validate data flow, then monitor runs in Zapier and GHL logs. Set up alerts for failures to maintain reliability.
Webhooks are supported where endpoints expose event-driven triggers. Use Zapier webhooks to capture and forward events from Blogs API or from Red Spot Interactive to other systems as needed.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Refer to the GHL API documentation for current limits and best-practice retry strategies. Implement exponential backoff in your Zap workflows to handle spikes gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
