Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 with scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and emails/builder for read/write access. You’ll authorize the GHL app to access your Blogs data and grant the necessary permissions.
In Zapier, configure OAuth 2.0 credentials and securely store access tokens to allow requests to GHL without exposing credentials in workflows.
GET emails/builder (read templates), POST emails/builder (create templates), POST /emails/builder/data (populate data), DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule (read), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug), POST /blogs/posts (create post), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update post), GET /blogs/categories (list), GET /blogs/authors (list)
Trigger when new content is added in the source app to automatically create or update a GHL blog post.

Methods and paths: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, content, slug, category, author
Trigger when a blog post is published to notify subscribers via email.
Use GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder to retrieve or create email templates and schedule sends; map post data into subject and body.
Methods include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data
Key fields: templateId, locationId, content, subject
Trigger data sync whenever new or updated blog data is available.
Use GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify data and keep catalogs up to date.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, slug
Automate publishing, templating, and notification tasks without writing code.
Maintain consistent data across apps with centralized endpoints and mappings.
Achieve rapid time-to-value with ready-to-use triggers and actions.
This glossary defines endpoints, fields, triggers, actions, and data mappings used to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a function in an API.
An authorization framework used to grant access tokens for API access without sharing passwords.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and endpoints.
A method for real-time data delivery between apps via HTTP callbacks.
Automatically create a GHL blog draft when your app receives new content, then publish via workflow.
Send templated emails to subscribers when a new post goes live.
Validate and ensure unique slugs before posting to avoid duplicates.
Obtain OAuth credentials for Blogs API and map initial fields in Zapier.
Choose endpoints such as GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to sync data.
Create workflows and test data flow end-to-end.
No-code setup is possible with Zapier App Connector. You’ll connect Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 and map trigger events (like a new blog draft) to actions (such as publishing or emailing). The process is designed for non-developers to automate workflows quickly. You can test connections in Zapier before activating.
To publish a post, use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint to create a new entry. If you need to update an existing post, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can also verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Slug conflicts are checked via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug already exists, you can modify it or append a suffix automatically in your workflow. You can also pre-check slug availability as part of a pre-publish step.
Yes. You can trigger email actions when a post is published by routing the publish event to an email template in GET/POST emails/builder, then scheduling or sending immediately via the Email Builder API.
Data mapping options include title, content, slug, category, author, and custom fields. You can map these from your source app to the corresponding Blog fields in GHL. Endpoints like /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors help populate drop-down mappings.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with token-based access. Tokens are refreshed automatically, and scopes restrict access to necessary endpoints. Your data is transmitted over secure connections and stored securely.
Categories are accessed via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints allow you to build richer metadata for posts and improve content organization in GHL.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
