Secure access is required. Use your GHL API credentials with the Blogs API and ensure the scope includes emails/builder.readonly. Depending on your setup, you may use OAuth or an API key. Zapier stores the connection for reuse across Zaps.
In Zapier, create a new connection using your Blogs API credentials and test the connection to confirm access to endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts.
Common endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId.

In Zapier, add a Blogs API connection and authorize access to the endpoints you plan to use.
Create Zaps that trigger on source events and perform actions like posting or updating blogs.
Answer: The Blogs API supports authentication via OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on your setup. Ensure your Zapier connection is granted the correct scope (for example, emails/builder.readonly) to access posts, categories, and authors. Test the connection after configuring credentials. The app will securely store tokens for reuse in subsequent Zaps.
The most useful endpoints include GET /blogs/posts to read posts, POST /blogs/posts to create new entries, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicate slugs. Other endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help enrich posts with metadata.
Yes. You can sync existing posts by matching postId or slug and using GET to fetch data, then PUT or POST updates as needed. It’s common to implement a two-way sync between your CMS and Blogs API.
No coding is required for basic automation in Zapier. You can connect endpoints, configure triggers, and actions using the visual builder. More advanced scenarios may require custom fields or parsing, but most workflows are achievable with no-code.
Categories and authors are accessible via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. You can assign categoryId and authorId when creating or updating posts to ensure correct metadata.
Slug handling is done with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check uniqueness, and slug values are included in POST and PUT requests to ensure SEO-friendly URLs.
Endpoint details, parameters, and examples are available in the API reference within your GHL developer portal or Zapier app docs. Always test endpoints in a sandbox before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
