Use a secure API key or OAuth flow to grant the Zapier App Connector access to your Blogs API endpoints. Ensure your API scope includes the necessary access to blogs endpoints and related resources to enable read/write actions.
Complete the OAuth or API key setup in APPNAME to allow seamless authentication and token management for subsequent automations.
GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; BLOGS: POST /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: when a new lead is captured in GHL, create a draft blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: map lead fields to post.title and post.content, then publish or save as draft.
/blogs/posts
title, content, author, slug
Trigger: a blog post is updated in APPNAME, push changes to GHL via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: send updated title and content to the PUT endpoint.
/blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content
Trigger: on create in APPNAME, verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: proceed to POST /blogs/posts only if slug is unique.
/blogs/posts
slug, title, content
No-code automation speeds publishing workflows and reduces manual data entry.
Real-time sync ensures teams work with the latest content and status.
Flexible field mappings let you tailor each post to your schema.
Key concepts and processes you’ll use when integrating the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface – a set of endpoints and methods that allow apps to communicate.
A specific path and HTTP method used to perform an action in an API.
The process to verify identity and grant access (API keys, OAuth).
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post, often used in blog post URLs.
Capture lead details from GHL and publish a draft blog post via the Blogs API, ready for review.
Queue posts in APPNAME and publish at set times using Blogs API endpoints.
Refresh post summaries or intros when a lead status changes in GHL.
Create or select the Blogs API integration in APPNAME and authorize access using OAuth or API keys.
Map GHL lead/blog fields to Blogs API post fields and set trigger events.
Run tests, verify data flow, and deploy to your live workflow.
The Blogs API is a GHL API that enables programmatic management of blog content, categories, authors, and related posts. It is designed to work with no-code tools like APPNAME, letting you automate publishing and content workflows without writing custom code. In this integration, you’ll use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to publish new posts and validate slugs.
No heavy coding is required. APPNAME provides no-code triggers and field mapping to connect GHL data to the Blogs API. For most workflows, you can set up your automations with clicks and simple configurations. Advanced users can add lightweight logic via APPNAME steps if needed.
Key posting endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. Other endpoints help manage authors and categories as needed.
Authentication is handled through OAuth or API keys configured in APPNAME. The chosen method provides tokens that authorize access to GHL Blogs API endpoints. Keep tokens secure and refresh as required by the provider’s policy.
Yes. APPNAME allows you to run test requests against the endpoints to ensure mappings and triggers work as expected before going live. Use test data to validate field mappings and data flow.
Endpoint details are documented in APPNAME’s connection UI and in the Blogs API reference. You can view available endpoints, required parameters, and response structures when configuring the integration.
Field mapping is done in APPNAME by selecting corresponding GHL fields (such as lead name, email, or custom fields) and mapping them to blog post fields (title, content, author, slug). Use sample data to verify that the resulting payload matches the Blogs API expectations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
