Obtain an API key or set up OAuth for the Blogs API from your GHL developer console, then connect this credential in Zapier’s Blogs API app. Ensure the required scopes are granted for access.
In Zapier, create a new connection using the Blogs API credentials. Enter the client ID and secret or API key, test the connection, and name the integration for easy reuse.
Endpoints used in this integration: GET emails/builder; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
When a trigger fires in Zapier, automatically draft a blog post in Blogs API.
Actions include POST /blogs/posts to publish and, if needed, GET /blogs/posts to verify creation.
POST /blogs/posts
Title, Content, Slug, Author
When content changes, update an existing post in Blogs API.
Actions include PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields and, optionally, GET to confirm changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
PostID, Title, Content, Slug
Schedule periodic sync to pull latest authors and categories into Zapier workflows.
Actions include GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map fields into your app.
GET /blogs/authors
AuthorID, Name; CategoryID, Name
Rapid setup without writing code
Consistent content automation across channels
Easy orchestration with built-in error handling and retries
Essential terms and processes for integrating APIs with no-code automations.
An API is a set of rules that lets programs talk to each other and request data or actions.
A specific URL or path in an API that performs a function, like retrieving posts.
The process of validating identity, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the web address.
Turn incoming email content into publish-ready blog drafts in Blogs API and push to your CMS on a schedule.
Automatically pull author bios and social handles from your CMS and update Blogs API records via Zapier.
Create workflows to update slugs in Blogs API when titles change to preserve SEO.
Generate or retrieve your Blogs API credentials and add them to Zapier as a new connection.
Choose the endpoints you need (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and map title, content, slug, and IDs.
Run test actions, verify results, and enable automatic retries and alerts.
No-code means you can connect using Zapier’s UI without writing code. Start by selecting Blogs API in Zapier, then create a connection using your API key or OAuth credentials. From there, build Zaps that trigger on events and perform actions in Blogs API. The examples below illustrate common patterns such as creating posts from emails and updating posts from CMS events.
Begin with essential endpoints: GET emails/builder for emails, GET /blogs/posts for existing posts, and POST /blogs/posts to create a post. As you grow, add endpoints like PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to manage updates and slug checks.
Authenticate via API key or OAuth, then test the connection in Zapier. Keep tokens secure and rotate keys periodically.
Yes. Use a Zapier schedule trigger or CMS poll to push updates to Blogs API using PUT or POST. You can set frequency and alerts.
If a request fails, Zapier can retry automatically and notify your team. Implement backoff and log errors for troubleshooting.
API credentials are issued from the Blogs API developer portal. In your Zapier connection, paste the client ID and secret or API key. Store credentials securely and rotate as needed.
Map fields by aligning source fields to destination fields in Zapier. Use transforms for slug, title, and content, then test with sample data.
