To use the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, obtain an API key or OAuth token from the GHL developer portal and add it to the App Connector.
The Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with Blogs API. Grant the requested scopes and store tokens securely in Zapier.
Key endpoints include creating and updating posts with POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, slug checks GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and metadata endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Also consider reading categories and authors for richer content in your Zaps.
Trigger when a new item is added to Zapier to create a blog post in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions include mapping title, content, author, and categories to POST /blogs/posts; after creation, optionally update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger when a blog post in Zapier updates to push changes to Blogs API.
