Learn how to securely authenticate to GHL’s Blogs API when using the Zapier App Connector, including API keys and OAuth options supported by the integration.
Zapier stores and manages credentials securely. Connect your GHL Blogs API account via OAuth or API key methods supported by the Zapier App Connector workflow.
Available endpoints include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: New or updated blog post in GHL triggers an action in Zapier to publish, schedule, or sync across platforms.
Actions: Create or update a blog post in GHL using POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; retrieve post URLs and update slugs as needed.
POST /blogs/posts (create) and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update)
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Trigger: Validate a slug exists or not before publishing.
Actions: Check slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and retrieve or assign a valid slug.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Trigger: New post references authors or categories that need synchronization.
Actions: Fetch authors and categories (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories) and assign to posts.
GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
authorId, categoryId
No-code setup: Leverage ready-made triggers and actions to automate publishing and updates.
Fast deployment: Connect in minutes and start automating blog workflows immediately.
Scalable across posts, authors, and categories from a single integration point.
Understand endpoints, HTTP methods, triggers, and actions used to connect GHL’s Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector for streamlined blog workflows.
A specific URL path that allows a client to access a resource or function in the GHL Blogs API.
The process of verifying who can access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth credentials.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in routing and SEO-friendly URLs.
A callback URL that notifies your app when a specific event occurs in the API.
Automatically publish approved drafts by creating blog posts via POST /blogs/posts when a draft reaches final status.
Sync a content calendar and publish posts on scheduled dates using the Blogs API.
Validate and enforce SEO-friendly URL slugs before publishing to maintain consistency.
Create an API key or OAuth credential in GHL and securely connect it to the Zapier App Connector.
Choose blog-related endpoints (posts, authors, categories, slug check) to include in your Zap.
Configure triggers and actions to automate posting, updating, and management of blog content.
You authenticate by generating an API key from the Blogs API settings in GHL and adding it to Zapier app credentials. The Zapier App Connector can also support OAuth-based flows, securely storing tokens for ongoing access. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup and test the connection.
For publishing new posts, use POST /blogs/posts to create content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. Slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help ensure unique, SEO-friendly URLs before publishing.
Yes. You can fetch and assign authors via GET /blogs/authors and assign to posts, and you can manage categories with GET /blogs/categories and related fields in your post payload.
Slug existence can be verified with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug already exists, you can generate a new slug or adjust the title for SEO-friendly routing.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides ready-made triggers and actions that you configure in a few steps to connect GHL’s Blogs API endpoints.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Monitor response headers in your Zap runs and implement exponential backoff for retries to ensure reliability.
Handle errors by mapping API error responses in Zapier, logging failures, and retrying idempotent actions. Use status codes to guide fallback flows and notifications.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
