Authenticate requests using a Bearer token obtained from your GHL dashboard. Store and pass the token in the Authorization header for all API calls.
Zapier App Connector uses your connected GHL credentials to generate authenticated requests. Configure secure credential storage in the app and refresh tokens as needed.

The Blogs API is a programmatic interface that lets you manage blog posts, authors, categories, and related content within GHL. It enables external apps like the Zapier App Connector to create, read, update, and schedule blog content. This API is designed to integrate with your existing content workflows without manual data entry. By connecting it to Zapier, you can automate publishing, distribution, and metadata synchronization across tools. The result is faster content delivery and fewer manual steps for your team.
Authentication to the Blogs API uses a Bearer token obtained from your GHL account. Include the token in the Authorization header for every request. In Zapier, configure the app’s authentication method to securely store these credentials and refresh as needed. This ensures all triggers and actions run with proper permissions and keeps your data secure.
To create a post, use POST /blogs/posts. To update an existing post, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. For slug validation, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. Other useful endpoints include GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts with author and category data.
Yes. You can create a post and then assign a scheduledDate to publish at a later time using POST /blogs/posts and related scheduling actions. This enables automated publication aligned with your editorial calendar and campaigns.
Slug checks help ensure URL uniqueness. Before publishing, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify that the slug is available or to resolve conflicts. This prevents duplicate URLs and preserves SEO integrity.
No. The Zapier App Connector provides no-code or low-code automation. You configure triggers, actions, and data mappings in the Zapier interface, using the Blogs API endpoints you need. Advanced users can still customize mappings with minimal scripting if required.
The Blogs API includes a wide set of endpoints beyond those listed here. If you require additional functionality, you can request access to other endpoints or explore custom workflows in Zapier to extend your integration. Always test new endpoints in a staging environment before production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
