To authorize requests from GHL to the Blogs API, generate an API key or use OAuth credentials defined for Blogs API. Ensure the credentials grant the necessary scopes for blog operations such as reading, creating, updating, and listing posts, categories, and authors.
Connect the Zapier App Connector to your Blogs API securely by providing credentials via OAuth or an API key as supported. Confirm permissions align with the endpoints you intend to use (posts, categories, authors, and emails-related endpoints as applicable).
Usage spans endpoints such as GET emails/builder, GET blogs/posts, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, and related endpoints for slug checks and category/author lookups.
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post in the App Connector, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Map fields like title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, and status.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, status
Trigger: Blog draft created or updated in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to save drafts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to publish or update. Retrieve categories and authors as needed for mapping.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: postId, title, slug, category_id, author_id
Trigger: Category or author changes in Blogs API.
Actions: Update post metadata with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and pull latest categories/authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep mappings current.
Methods/Paths: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: postId, category_id, author_id
Automate content publishing across channels without writing code.
Centralize content workflows in a single automation layer for consistency and speed.
Real-time data synchronization keeps posts, categories, and authors up to date across platforms.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and error handling to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface; a set of endpoints that enable programs to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving posts or updating a post.
The process of proving identity and granting access to API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
A URL-friendly, human-readable identifier for a blog post used in URLs.
When a new post is created in Blogs API, automatically push it to your website, newsletter, and social channels through the Zapier App Connector.
Use triggers to move drafts to an editorial workflow and publish automatically after approval via actions.
Set up schedules to refresh and republish evergreen posts to keep content fresh and relevant.
Obtain API credentials or authorize via OAuth to establish a secure link between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Choose the required endpoints (for example, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and map fields such as title, content, slug, category_id, and author_id.
Run tests to verify triggers and actions, fix any mapping issues, then activate the integration for live use.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides visual builders to set up triggers and actions. Basic understanding of endpoints and field mapping helps you tailor the flow. If you know how to map fields like title and slug, you can complete setup quickly. If you’re new, start with a simple post publish flow and expand later.
Supported endpoints include core post management (creating, updating, and retrieving posts), slug checks, category and author lookups, and basic email endpoints where applicable. The integration uses GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors among others.
Authenticate by using API keys or OAuth credentials configured for Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. Ensure the credentials have permission to access posts, categories, and authors. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically as part of best practices.
Test by running a dry run of your trigger and action steps within the connector. Verify that a new post appears in the target app and that field mappings (title, slug, content, author, category) are correct. Review response messages and adjust mappings as needed.
Yes. You can map custom fields such as slug, category_id, and author_id to your destination app. Use the mapping interface to translate API fields to the target app fields and validate with test data.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Plan for occasional bursts and implement backoff in your workflow. If you hit limits, consider staggering post updates or caching recently retrieved data to reduce repeated calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
