To securely connect Blogs API, obtain client credentials from your GHL developer console and authorize your Zapier integration. Use your client ID and secret to request access tokens, and refresh tokens as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.
During setup, connect your Zapier app to GHL using OAuth 2.0, store tokens securely in Zapier, and configure scopes to include blogs content management (read and write).
– GET /blogs/posts – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – GET /blogs/posts – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new draft is ready to publish from your content source, which then creates a post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: Create post with title, content, slug; update post; publish
POST /blogs/posts
title (required), content (required), slug (optional), category, authorId, status
Trigger: slug check runs when a new post is created or a slug is edited
Actions: Verify slug exists (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), fetch post details (GET /blogs/posts?slug=…)
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId, title
Trigger: when new category or author is added
Actions: Get categories (GET /blogs/categories), get authors (GET /blogs/authors), list posts (GET /blogs/posts)
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId, postId
Automate publishing workflows without writing code
Synchronize content across platforms in minutes
Eliminate manual data entry with powerful triggers and actions
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and error handling to ensure reliable data flows.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that performs an action in the API.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to identify the post in URLs.
The process of validating a request to access the API, typically via OAuth 2.0.
A piece of content published to the Blogs API.
Pull drafts from your CMS and publish on a set cadence using the Blogs API endpoints.
Use a sheet trigger to create new blog posts via POST /blogs/posts.
Check slug availability before publishing and automatically update the post slug if needed using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Obtain client ID and secret from GHL and configure in Zapier to establish a secure connection.
Run an authentication test to pull sample posts and verify access.
Create a Zap that creates posts on publish, updates slugs, and pulls author/category data as needed.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage posts, categories, and authors. You can list posts with GET /blogs/posts, create new posts with POST /blogs/posts, update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and check title-slug viability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Authentication and data mapping ensure secure, accurate data transfer across your automations. Use the endpoints in combination with Zapier App Connector to model publishing workflows, content updates, and data enrichment without writing code.
Authentication is typically handled via OAuth 2.0, using a client ID and secret from GHL. In Zapier, you configure the OAuth flow so that tokens are refreshed automatically and stored securely. Test the connection to confirm access to read and write capabilities for posts, categories, and authors.
Yes. You can verify slug availability using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent duplicate slugs and ensures clean URLs. If a slug already exists, you can generate an alternative slug or update the post accordingly.
To create a post, send a request to POST /blogs/posts with required fields like title and content. To update, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with modifications. You can map fields such as slug, category, and author to keep your blog content consistent across platforms.
Absolutely. The integration is designed for no-code use through Zapier triggers and actions. You can build end-to-end publishing pipelines, scheduling, and updates without writing custom code, while still having full access to the underlying endpoints when needed.
For more resources, consult the GHL API documentation, Zapier app connector guides, and example workflows in our tutorials. You can also reach out to support for implementation guidance and best practices.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
