Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 style tokens for secure access. You will typically obtain a client ID and secret from your GHL developer settings and exchange them for access tokens in Zapier.
Zapier App Connector authenticates via API keys or OAuth depending on the connector setup. Ensure the connector has the required scopes and securely stores credentials.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET blogs/posts, POST blogs/posts, PUT blogs/posts/:postId, GET blogs/categories, GET blogs/authors. Use the ones that fit your workflow to schedule newsletters or publish posts.
