Use your GHL API credentials to securely authenticate requests to the Blogs API endpoints. Store keys safely and grant least-privilege access to keep your content secure.
Zapier App Connector authenticates with connected services using OAuth where supported or API keys, and stores tokens securely within your Zapier account. Configure scopes to restrict access.

This section defines core terms and processes used when integrating Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that performs an action on a resource in an API.
A URL-friendly string derived from a title used in the blog post URL.
A method for real-time data transfer triggered by events from an API.
The process of verifying identity to access API resources, often via tokens or keys.
Create a Zap that auto-posts drafts from your CMS to Blogs API, then publish when approved.
Automatically generate slugs, meta descriptions, and category tagging during post creation.
Pull author data and post performance into your analytics dashboard.
Create or install the Blogs API app in GHL and generate API keys; authorize the connection in Zapier.
Choose triggers (e.g., new post, updated post) and actions (e.g., create post, update post) and map fields.
Run test tasks, verify data flow, and enable the workflow.
The Blogs API is a suite of endpoints that let you create, update, and manage blog content within GHL. It also supports slug checks, category and author lookup, and category management to keep your blog taxonomy organized. This API enables automated content workflows when connected to automation platforms like Zapier App Connector.
Yes. You can connect Blogs API to Zapier App Connector using pre-built triggers and actions without writing code. The integration handles data transfer, error handling, and retries, so you can focus on building your workflow.
Key endpoints for publishing and updating posts include POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Slug existence checks use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicate URLs. Additionally, endpoints for categories and authors help populate metadata.
Authentication is typically handled via API keys or OAuth, depending on the provider. Ensure you generate and securely store credentials for both GHL and Zapier App Connector, and grant only the necessary scopes.
A typical blog post requires title and content, plus optional fields like slug, category, author, and status. Depending on your workflow, you may also include tags, featured image, and publication date.
Yes. Use the slug-check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify availability before creating a post, helping avoid conflicts and ensuring clean SEO-friendly URLs.
Endpoint documentation and examples are available in the Blogs API docs and Zapier App Connector integration guides. They provide field requirements, sample requests, and usage scenarios to accelerate implementation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
