Use the provided API credentials with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Maintain security, rotate keys regularly, and restrict access to trusted systems when connecting Blogs API to Zapier App Connector.
Zapier App Connector authenticates with GHL using OAuth 2.0 or API tokens. Store tokens securely, use test environments when validating new workflows, and limit permissions to the minimum required.
GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/:postId
When a new blog post is published via the Blogs API, trigger an email draft in the Emails Builder to notify subscribers and drive engagement.
Actions: create a template, populate with post data, and schedule delivery to the relevant audience.
Use POST /blogs/posts to publish; fetch templates with GET emails/builder; populate content using POST /emails/builder/data.
postId, title, slug, author, publishedAt
Trigger on category updates to route posts into category-specific campaigns.
Actions: map categories to campaigns, tailor templates, and segment audiences accordingly.
Leverage GET /blogs/categories to pull categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich context; use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update as needed.
categoryId, name, color, postCount
Trigger a bulk import to sync existing posts with email campaigns on a schedule or on demand.
Actions: create multiple email templates from posts, attach to campaigns, and bulk schedule deliveries.
Use a loop over POST /blogs/posts for each item and POST /emails/builder/data to populate templates in bulk.
postId, batchId, content, status
Launch automated blog-to-email workflows without writing code, reducing deployment time significantly.
Maintain a unified data flow between blog content, templates, and campaigns for consistent messaging.
Scale campaigns across multiple categories, authors, and audiences with reusable templates.
A quick glossary of core terms used in the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration.
GHL API refers to the development API surface exposed by the GHL platform, enabling access to emails, blogs, schedules, and related resources.
The endpoint set used to retrieve and publish blog posts, categories, and authors within GHL.
A template and delivery mechanism used to compose and send emails from GHL to subscribers.
A URL-friendly identifier used to reference blog posts in links and routing.
Create a weekly digest that compiles new posts into a single email template and sends to subscribers using the Emails Builder.
Route posts by category into dedicated campaigns with tailored templates and audience segments.
Highlight author contributions by sending posts to author-specific subscriber lists with personalized messaging.
In GHL, generate an API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly, then store it securely and test access from Zapier.
In Zapier, connect the GHL account using the API key and grant access to the Blogs API endpoints you plan to use.
Run a test workflow to confirm data flows between blogs, templates, and emails; adjust mappings as needed; then deploy to production.
The Blogs API integration with Zapier App Connector enables automations that connect blog content to email campaigns. You can trigger emails when new posts publish, update templates with post data, and route content to different campaigns. This setup helps maintain consistent messaging and saves time by removing manual steps.
Authentication uses an API key with the appropriate scope (emails/builder.readonly) and OAuth credentials for the Zapier App Connector. Keep keys secure, rotate them periodically, and use restricted access in production environments. Testing in a sandbox helps prevent accidental deployments.
Common endpoints include GET emails/builder to fetch email templates, POST /blogs/posts to publish new content, and GET /blogs/categories to organize campaigns. For validation and slug checks, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/post-by-slug as part of your data enrichment flow.
Yes. You can schedule email deliveries based on the post publish time or a custom delay. Use the schedules endpoint (emails/schedule) in combination with the blog publish action to automate timely communications.
Slug validation is performed by endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Use this to prevent duplicate slugs and ensure clean URLs for published posts. You can also validate slugs before creating posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
There are practical limits based on your GHL plan and Zapier task usage. For bulk operations, batch processing and pacing can help avoid throttling. Always test with a small set of posts before scaling.
You can find setup templates and examples in the Zapier App Connector documentation and within the GHL API reference. Start with a basic workflow that pulls a post and sends a templated email, then expand with categories, authors, and scheduling rules.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
