Authenticate the Blogs API connection using the required GHL scope emails/builder.readonly to allow reading and managing email builder resources within your GHL account.
In Zapier, connect the APPNAME (Zapier App Connector) using OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication as supported, ensuring the connection remains secure and refreshable.
GET emails/builder; GET 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; action automatically publishes or updates the corresponding post in GHL.
Actions: Create, publish, and update posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId); optionally check slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and assign category/author data.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, status
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Blogs API; reflect changes in GHL.
Actions: Update existing posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId); validate slug as needed (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: New authors or categories appear in Blogs API; push updates to GHL.
Actions: Create or update authors and categories in GHL (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories).
GET /blogs/authors
author_id, name; category_id, name
Automate repetitive publishing and syncing tasks without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Keep your GHL content and taxonomy in sync with Blogs API data, ensuring consistent metadata across platforms.
Prototype new workflows quickly with triggers and actions and test in a few minutes.
Key elements: API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and field mappings; processes: connect, map, test, deploy.
API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allows software to communicate and exchange data.
An API endpoint is a specific URL where you can access a resource or perform an action via HTTP.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier derived from a title, used to reference a resource in URLs.
A webhook is a callback URL that receives real-time notifications when a specific event occurs.
Create a Zap that schedules and publishes posts in GHL when a calendar item is added to your CMS.
Auto-assign categories and route posts to relevant channels in GHL.
Send Slack/email alerts when new posts go live in GHL via Zapier.
Connect Blogs API and APPNAME in Zapier; grant the required permissions and select the proper scope.
Select your triggers (e.g., new post) and actions (e.g., create post) from the available endpoints.
Map the blog fields (title, content, slug, category, author) to GHL fields; run tests to confirm data flows correctly.
GHL provides a structured API surface that Blogs API can leverage to manage blog content. The Blogs API endpoints expose the necessary read/write actions to create and update posts inside GHL. The Zapier App Connector acts as the bridge, enabling automated workflows without code. By combining both, you can publish posts, update content, and maintain consistent metadata across platforms. In short, GHL is the target platform, and Blogs API + Zapier is the automation layer.
Start with core endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. Also consider syncing authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These provide a solid foundation for automation.
Use Zapier App Connector authentication settings to connect APPNAME with Blogs API and grant the required scope. Depending on your setup, you may choose OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication; ensure tokens are secure and refreshable.
Yes. You can automate scheduling or publishing posts based on triggers in Blogs API. Create a Zap that publishes new content at a specified time or when a CMS item is updated.
Map fields explicitly between the two systems: title to title, content to content, slug to slug, category to category_id, and author to author_id. Use default values where needed to ensure a smooth transfer.
If a slug already exists, use the slug_exists check and either skip the post or generate a new slug automatically. Implement conflict handling in your Zap to avoid duplicates.
Common issues include authentication failures, scope mismatches, and endpoint errors due to incorrect URLs. Check your connection status in Zapier, verify tokens, and review endpoint documentation for required fields.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
