Begin by enabling API access for Blogs API in GHL and granting the Zapier App Connector access to read and write posts, categories, and authors so automated workflows can operate smoothly.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector to the Blogs API using OAuth or an API token. Ensure the permissions cover reading posts, writing posts, and managing categories and authors.
Key Blogs API endpoints used in this connection include: POST /blogs/posts (create), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (slug check), GET /blogs/categories (list categories), GET /blogs/authors (list authors). Supporting permissions include: blogs/post.write, blogs/category.readonly, blogs/author.readonly.
When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, trigger a Zap in App Connector to publish or sync it to your Smart Job Board.
Actions: Create the blog entry on the job board, map fields (title, content, slug, category, author), and optionally notify subscribers.
POST to create, PUT to update, GET to fetch existing posts as needed.
title, content, slug, category, authorId
When a blog post is updated in Blogs API, trigger an update in the Smart Job Board.
Action: Update the corresponding post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and refresh metadata.
PUT
postId, title, content, slug
During post preparation, verify slug availability using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Action: If slug exists, automatically generate an alternative slug; if not, proceed to create the post
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Build powerful automations without writing code to publish and sync blog content across your Smart Job Board and other channels.
Faster go-live with reusable templates and triggers for common blog workflows.
Centralized governance of post metadata (title, slug, category, author) across platforms.
This glossary defines terms and processes used in the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration for your Smart Job Board.
A piece of content published via the Blogs API, including title, body, slug, categories, and author.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the post URL.
A specific API path you call to perform read, write, update, or delete operations.
An event in one app that starts an automation in another app (for example: a new blog post published).
Automatically publish new blog posts as job posts and update them when edited to keep your listings fresh.
Sync new categories and author metadata from Blogs API into your job board’s taxonomy in real time.
Use slug data to route posts to specific sections or channels on your site for better navigation.
Connect your accounts securely and run a test to ensure the connection works and the required scopes are granted.
Set up a trigger for new or updated posts and map fields to your Smart Job Board data model.
Turn on workflows and monitor runs to catch errors and latency early.
Yes, this integration is designed for no-code use with the Zapier App Connector. You’ll configure triggers and actions using a point-and-click builder, with field mappings tailored to your Smart Job Board data model. Start with a simple post publish workflow and expand as needed. Test thoroughly with a sample post to confirm mappings for title, slug, categories, and author fields.
Essential endpoints for posting and updating posts include POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publish. For richer posts, pull in GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate category and author data.
Slug checks prevent broken links by ensuring unique, URL-friendly slugs before publish. The GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists call returns whether a slug is available, enabling automatic slug adjustments in your workflow.
Yes. You can configure two-way or synchronized updates so that changes to categories and authors in Blogs API propagate to your Smart Job Board, maintaining consistency across platforms.
Supported authentication methods include API tokens and OAuth. Choose the method that fits your security policies and store credentials securely in Zapier.
Test by creating a sample post in Blogs API, run the Zapier workflow, and review the task history for mapping accuracy and latency. Adjust mappings and retry until clean results are achieved.
Consult the Blogs API reference and Zapier App Connector templates for additional patterns, field mappings, and step-by-step examples to accelerate your setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
