Scale campaigns quickly using reusable endpoints and templates
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, data fields, and workflow steps used when connecting the Blogs API to GHL through Zapier.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined function, such as retrieving a list of posts or sending an SMS.
An event that starts a workflow, such as a new blog post or a new subscriber.
The process of proving identity to access API resources, typically via API keys or OAuth.
A URL-friendly string used to identify posts or resources.
When a new subscriber signs up via your blog, Zapier triggers a welcome SMS via GHL to introduce them to your content.
Send a sequence of informative SMS messages after a post goes live to drive engagement.
Remind teams or subscribers about upcoming posts or updates using scheduled SMS alerts.
Authenticate the Blogs API and connect Zapier by granting required scopes and saving the credentials securely.
Define which blog fields (title, slug, author, publishDate) are used in SMS templates and actions.
Create a Zap with a trigger on blog events and actions to send SMS via the GHL connection.
You’ll authenticate with an API key or OAuth credentials. Ensure the scope includes read access to blogs (emails/builder.readonly). This keeps your data secure while allowing Zapier to read post data and trigger SMS actions. Regularly rotate credentials and use secure vaults.
Yes. You can trigger SMS when a new post is published or when a subscriber signs up. For existing posts, consider a one-time run or a scheduled summary. You can also trigger messages based on slug checks or category changes.
Zapier offers a free plan with basic features; however, some workflows may require a paid plan for higher task limits or premium apps. Check your usage and upgrade only if you need more runs per month.
Test the connection by running a quick test in Zapier to fetch blog data and send a sample SMS to a test number. Use sandbox numbers when available and verify endpoint permissions.
Common endpoints include GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, and POST /emails/builder to handle messaging. These endpoints enable data retrieval, post creation, and message delivery.
