Use your GHL developer API credentials with the Blogs API, ensuring the scope emails/builder.readonly is granted. Connect via OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on your setup, and include the proper Authorization headers in each request.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API integration by authorizing the app to access your GHL account. You’ll be guided through OAuth or API key setup in the Zapier app connection screen.

Zero-code workflow building to automate blog publishing and email campaigns.
Rapid integrations with existing GHL workflows without development time.
Centralized data flow between GHL content and email automation for faster ROI.
This section outlines core elements: API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping used to connect GHL’s Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL in the GHL API that performs a function when called.
An event that starts an automated workflow in Zapier when data changes in GHL.
The process of proving identity and permissions to access the GHL API.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a blog post in GHL.
Automatically generate and send email templates when new blog posts are published, using endpoints like GET /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data to populate campaigns.
Schedule newsletters from new blogs via blogs/posts and emails/builder data to ensure timely delivery.
Publish content to multiple channels using blog endpoints and email templates to maximize reach.
Authorize GHL and the Zapier App Connector to access your accounts.
Select the endpoints and triggers that match your workflow: emails/builder, blogs/posts, etc.
Create a Zap, test it, and deploy.
Answer: Use endpoints like GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/categories to enable a smooth flow. These endpoints allow you to pull templates, publish posts, and categorize content. You can then connect them in Zapier to trigger actions automatically. This setup helps you automate content-to-email workflows without writing code.
Answer: Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys provided by GHL for the Blogs API and Zapier’s connection screen. Ensure the scope matches the required permissions (emails/builder.readonly). Then test the connection. If your org requires additional security, rotate keys regularly and monitor access logs.
Answer: Yes. You can post new blog content via POST /blogs/posts and schedule via emails/schedule while also keeping slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Set up triggers in Zapier to handle publishing and scheduling automatically.
Answer: No heavy coding required. This is a no-code integration built through Zapier’s interface and the GHL endpoints. You mainly map fields and configure triggers and actions in the Zapier editor.
Answer: Typical mappings include title, content, author, category, slug, and schedule details. You map fields in Zapier to the corresponding GHL endpoint payload. Keep a consistent data structure to avoid errors when creating posts or templates.
Answer: You can verify slug existence using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post to avoid duplicates. This helps maintain unique URLs for each blog entry.
Answer: The glossary terms are defined in this page’s glossary section, covering API endpoints, triggers, authentication, and slug terminology. Use this as a quick reference while building your Zapier workflows.
