You can automate post creation, updates, and publishing across channels using the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector. Create new posts from form submissions, update existing posts when your content changes, and publish on a schedule or in response to triggers. Integrations can also pull in category and author data to enrich posts automatically. This is ideal for marketing teams needing consistent, error free publishing workflows without code.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder. You connect your Blogs API app, map fields like title and content, and configure triggers and actions. Advanced users can add custom steps, but most automations can be built with drag and drop components.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /Blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts to retrieve, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts. For slug related checks, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You may also use GET emails/builder for notification workflows if needed.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens. Store credentials securely in Zapier connection settings, rotate keys periodically, and scope permissions to only what you need. Always test connections after updating credentials to ensure secure access to endpoints.
Yes, you can schedule posts by including a schedule date when creating or updating posts and using Zapier to trigger publication at the planned time. You can also automate reminder emails or notifications prior to publish.
Use the slug existence endpoint to validate whether a post slug is available before creation. This helps you avoid conflicts and ensures clean, SEO friendly URLs when publishing new posts.
Endpoint details and docs are available in your GHL API reference for Blogs API. In Zapier, open the Blogs API app connection to view available actions and triggers, and refer to the endpoint list for exact paths and required fields.
