To access the Blogs API, use your API key and the required scopes. For reading and managing emails and schedules you’ll typically need scope emails/builder.readonly and emails/builder.write, along with blog endpoints for posts, categories, and authors.
In Zapier, connect your Blogs API account by granting access and selecting the endpoints you want to use. Align the scopes with what you’ll trigger and action in your Zap.
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; 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: a new post is created in Salla via Blogs API, then publish to your chosen channels.
Actions: create a blog post with blogs/posts, then optionally push to emails/builder to craft a newsletter or alert.
Common methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, publishDate.
Trigger: new blog post is published, then send a newsletter or alert via emails/builder.
Actions: POST emails/builder to craft and send, optionally data-populate with data from blogs/posts.
Use endpoints like POST /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data to create and send.
Fields: templateId, locationId, subject, body, postId.
Trigger: a blog post is updated in Blogs API, prompting downstream updates.
Actions: update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/post-update.write to refresh content and metadata.
Methods: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug changes.
Fields: postId, title, slug, content, status.

Authorize your Blogs API in Zapier App Connector and select the scopes you need.
Pick a trigger such as new post or updated post from Blogs API.
Configure actions like create, update, or schedule posts and newsletters.
Start with endpoints for creating and reading posts: POST /blogs/posts to publish new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure your slug is unique. These endpoints cover the core blogging workflow. If you also manage newsletters, include endpoints in emails/builder to assemble and send emails from your blog updates. Keep your workflow simple at first: a trigger when a post is published, and an action to post a notification or newsletter. As you grow, you can layer more endpoints to cover categories, authors, and slug validation.
You can authenticate either with an API key tied to the Blogs API or via OAuth depending on how your GHL account is configured. In Zapier, you’ll typically supply the same API key and scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly, emails/builder.write, and relevant blog scopes) to connect and authorize actions. If you’re using OAuth, the initial connection will prompt you to grant permissions; if using an API key, you’ll enter it in Zapier’s connection settings. Either method should align with the scopes required by your intended endpoints.
Yes. You can update a post by using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the fields you want to change (title, content, slug, etc.). After updating, you may want to recalculate the slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid conflicts. If you prefer a dedicated update trigger, you can also use blogs/post-update.write to push changes as a separate action in Zapier.
Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify uniqueness before publishing. In a Zap, you can check the slug as a separate step or use it within a post creation flow to avoid conflicts. This helps ensure clean URLs and prevents duplicate content in your Salla-powered blog.
Yes. You can trigger an email newsletter whenever a post is published by linking Blogs API to the emails/builder endpoints. Create an automation that, on post creation, calls POST /emails/builder to assemble the newsletter and then POST /emails/builder/data to populate content. This enables timely distribution of new content to your audience.
Rate limits depend on your GHL account and API plan. Plan for burst traffic if posting many updates quickly and use batching where possible. Implement error handling in Zapier so that failed requests can be retried and logged for auditing. If you anticipate high volume, consider spreading requests across multiple zaps or using asynchronous actions where supported.
Look for example templates in the Zapier Apps directory or in GHL’s developer docs for Blogs API. You can also use the creative ideas section to spark zaps for post creation, newsletter automation, and editorial calendar workflows. If you’re stuck, start with a basic publish-notify flow and gradually add endpoints like categories, authors, and slug checks as you validate the integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
