Authenticate Blogs API via GHL’s OAuth flow, requesting the emails/builder.readonly scope to read content data, then verify the connection in the app.
Set up OAuth 2.0 for the Zapier app, obtain a client ID and secret, configure redirect URIs, and test the connection.
Endpoints involved: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/post-update.write;
Trigger when a new blog draft is created in Blogs API to automatically publish or queue for review.
Actions: create post (POST /blogs/posts), update post (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), check slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug.
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: new post is ready for scheduling in Blogs API
Actions: set scheduled_time via POST /blogs/posts, notify via emails endpoint if needed
Methods: POST /blogs/posts with scheduled_time; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: title, content, scheduled_time, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: changes to categories or authors in GHL
Actions: assign category and author via GET endpoints, ensure consistency across posts
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, postId
Automate end-to-end publishing from content creation to delivery.
Remove repetitive data entry by syncing posts, categories, and authors.
Centralize workflows with built-in error handling and logging across endpoints.
This section defines common terms and how the endpoints interact to form a workflow between GHL Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A URL pattern that performs an action, such as GET /blogs/categories to retrieve data.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address and slug checks.
Authorization framework enabling secure access to APIs without sharing credentials.
A mechanism for apps to push data in real time when events occur.
Turn CRM triggers into published blog posts with minimal setup.
Send concise post summaries to Slack or email on publish.
Flag posts for review and route to editors via Zapier.
Authorize both sides and verify the connection is active.
Map your blog events to Zapier actions using the endpoints listed.
Run tests, monitor logs, and enable automation for production.
In most cases, no deep coding is required. Zapier’s visual builder lets you connect Blogs API actions without writing code. You will map fields such as title, content, and slug to create posts. Start with a test workflow to verify data flow.
For a basic publishing workflow you will use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create a post, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Optional endpoints for categorization and author assignment include GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Slug existence checks help prevent duplicate URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post to ensure uniqueness. If the slug exists, you can modify the title or slug and retry.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data. You can assign these to posts during creation or updates to maintain consistent metadata.
The connection uses OAuth-based authentication and scoped access. Keep client secrets secure, rotate credentials regularly, and monitor access logs in both GHL and Zapier. Use webhooks where supported to minimize credentials exposure.
Yes. Build a test workflow in Zapier and run it with sample data. Use the built-in test tool and review task history to confirm data flows and error messages before going live.
Logs are available in the Zapier task history and in GHL’s API response data. Review error messages, response codes, and timestamps to troubleshoot issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
