Authentication for the Blogs API in this integration uses OAuth 2.0 with a scoped access token to read email builders and schedules (scope: emails/builder.readonly).
To authorize the App Connector, you will connect Zapier to your GHL Blogs API account and grant the required scope for reading and managing email templates.
Key endpoint categories used here include email builder (read/write), email scheduling (read), and blog post and slug operations such as GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: New or updated email templates in Blogs API.
Actions: Retrieve and synchronize templates into Zapier workflows.
GET emails/builder
Template ID, Template Name, Updated At
Trigger: When a new template is created in Blogs API or an existing one changes.
Actions: POST emails/builder to create templates and PUT emails/builder for updates.
POST emails/builder
Template ID, Template Name, Slug
Trigger: When a blog post data payload is ready to push to recipients.
Actions: POST /emails/builder/data to attach content to a template, location, and metadata.
POST /emails/builder/data
Location ID, Template ID, Payload
No‑code automation: set up workflows without writing a line of code.
Faster deployment: connect and automate in minutes rather than days.
Unified data: view emails and blog updates in a single Zapier workflow.
Key concepts covered here include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and slug checks used by the Blogs API through the Zapier App Connector.
The GHL API is the programmatic interface that lets apps connect to your GHL data, including emails, blogs, and workflows.
An endpoint is a specific URL you call to perform an action or retrieve data from the API.
The method used to verify identity and grant access to API resources, typically OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A slug is a unique URL-friendly identifier for a blog post or category.
When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically trigger social posts and email updates via Zapier.
Push template changes to campaigns and newsletters without manual edits.
Create workflows that check slug conflicts and auto-create redirects.
Authorize Zapier App Connector to access your Blogs API resources and select the needed scopes.
Choose the relevant triggers and actions that map to the endpoints you plan to use.
Run tests, review mappings, and publish your Zapier workflow.
No coding is required. The App Connector provides triggers and actions that map to your endpoints. If you have basic data, you can set up automations quickly without writing code.
Not all endpoints are used for every page, but you can access core endpoints like GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and slug checks as needed.
You authenticate by linking your GHL account to Zapier and selecting the Blogs API scope. The App Connector handles token refresh automatically so you stay connected.
Yes, you can create and update blog posts via REST endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and respect rate limits.
Templates should include Template ID, Template Name, and Slug. Including Updated At helps track changes in your automations.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug existence. Provide the slug to receive a true/false result for your workflow.
Real-time logs appear in Zapier task history and the GHL app logs. Enable debug mode in the app connector for deeper API insights.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
