Establish a trusted connection by authenticating access tokens and selecting the scopes needed for emails, blogs, and authors.
Grant permissions for the Zapier App Connector to call the GHL endpoints listed in this guide and manage data securely.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data, POST emails/builder, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a new draft is ready in your content workflow, then publish via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: populate title, content, slug, author and category fields, then post to blogs with your chosen endpoints.
Methods used: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs
Key fields include slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId, and postId
Trigger: a new newsletter draft or template change prompts an email build using GET/POST emails/builder and related paths
Actions: assemble email templates, schedule sends, and attach to blog summaries if needed
Methods: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, POST emails/builder
Key fields: locationId, templateId, scheduleId, and templateName
Trigger: draft ready triggers a slug check via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: verify slug uniqueness, map categories, then publish with POST /blogs/posts or update with PUT
Methods: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: slug, postId, categoryId, authorId
No-code automation lets you connect multiple apps with clicks, not code.
Faster deployment and iteration with plug-and-play endpoints and triggers.
Better data integrity and audit trails through centralized workflows and Snowflake syncing.
This glossary defines the main elements and processes used to connect the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, including endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts, authentication, and data flow to Snowflake.
A specific URL and HTTP method that enables a programmatic action against a service.
The method to verify identity and authorize access to endpoints such as emails and blogs.
A URL-friendly identifier used to uniquely address a blog post.
A blog entry, either a draft or published item, stored in the Blogs API.
Set up a trigger on draft creation and publish via the blogs endpoints to reduce manual publishing time.
Pull highlights from emails and generate blog posts automatically using blogs/posts endpoints.
Keep author and category metadata consistent across systems with automated updates.
Provide credentials and grant permissions to call endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts.
Select endpoints (emails/builder, blogs/posts) and set up triggers in Zapier.
Run tests to verify data flows to Snowflake and deploy your workflow.
Yes. You can connect without writing code using the Zapier App Connector. Start by authenticating to the Blogs API and selecting the endpoints you need (for example, GET emails/builder to pull templates or POST /blogs/posts to publish a new post). The connector provides triggers, actions, and data mapping to build your workflow visually. If you need more complex logic, you can layer in conditional filters and multi-step paths inside Zapier.
To publish a blog, you typically use POST /blogs/posts to create the post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. Optional endpoints include GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique and GET /blogs/categories to assign categories. You can also attach authorId and other metadata via the endpoints to fully define the post.
Check the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug exists, modify the title or slug and re-check. This prevents duplicates and keeps URLs clean.
Yes. The API supports scheduling via endpoints and Zapier can trigger these actions on a schedule or in response to other events. Use emails/schedule endpoints for email timing and blog post scheduling with the blogs endpoints where supported.
Categories and authors can be retrieved via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, then assigned to posts using the post endpoints. Keeping this data in sync improves consistency across channels.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. In most cases, typical polling and webhooks can be configured to stay within reasonable quotas. If you expect heavy load, implement staggered triggers and batching in Zapier.
API docs for these endpoints are available in the developer portal of the Blogs API. Look for sections on emails, blogs, and authors, including examples for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
