Authenticate requests using your Blogs API credentials in combination with the Skilljar app. Obtain an access token via OAuth 2.0 or use a secure API key, then pass it in the Authorization header for each call.
Authorize the Zapier app (Skilljar) to access your Blogs API resources. Use the issued client credentials and grant scopes to ensure only the necessary data is accessible.
GET emails/builder, emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, emails/schedule.readonly, GET emails/schedule, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, blogs/post-update.write, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, blogs/category.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API to automatically create and publish a matching post in Skilljar.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category, author, publishDate
Trigger: A new email template is created in Blogs API.
Actions: POST emails/builder to create templates, POST /emails/builder/data to populate content, and schedule with emails/schedule.
POST emails/builder
name, subject, body, templateId
Trigger: New category or author appears in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep Skilljar taxonomy in sync.
GET /blogs/categories
category_id, name; author_id, name
Build powerful automations without writing code using Zapier’s visual workflow builder.
Publish and synchronize blog content and emails across platforms in minutes, not hours.
Centralize data mapping and governance with reusable templates and triggers.
This glossary defines core terms used in integrating the Blogs API with Skilljar, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
Application Programming Interface. A set of rules and endpoints that let two apps communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL where a resource can be accessed or manipulated.
An event that starts an automation or workflow within the integration.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating a blog post or sending an email.
Trigger nurture emails when a new blog post is published in Blogs API and publish to Skilljar email templates for subscribers.
Keep Skilljar taxonomy aligned by syncing categories and author data from Blogs API.
Coordinate post publication with email campaigns so subscribers receive timely updates.
Register the integration in your GHL developer console, then authorize the Skilljar app to access Blogs API resources.
Map the endpoints and fields you will use, such as blog post creation and email template management.
Run tests, review logs, and roll out to production with monitoring.
No-code setup is possible with Zapier’s visual builder. You can connect Skilljar to Blogs API using templates and triggers without writing code, and you can customize data flows if you have development resources. If you do code, you can tailor endpoints and mappings for advanced needs.
Basic posting typically uses POST /blogs/posts to create new posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing ones. You may also check for slug conflicts with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Ensure you have the correct permissions (blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write) and a valid auth token.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys; keep tokens secure and rotate credentials regularly. Include the access token in the Authorization header and apply the principle of least privilege for the connected app.
Yes. You can migrate existing content by creating posts from your data source and mapping fields to Blogs API post fields. Use the slug and category mappings to preserve structure during import.
API rate limits vary by plan. To stay safe, implement exponential backoff and retry logic for 429 responses, and stagger requests when syncing large datasets.
Yes, you can schedule posts and email campaigns. Use the scheduling endpoints to time when posts publish and when emails are sent, coordinating content cadence with subscriber campaigns.
Logs are accessible via Zapier task history and the GHL app’s activity logs. Review run details, error messages, and payloads to diagnose issues and optimize flows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
