Authorize requests to the Blogs API using the OAuth token or API key provided by GHL. Ensure the connected app has the correct scopes and securely stores credentials in Zapier.
In Zapier, create and manage a secure connection to the GHL Blogs API. The connector stores credentials and reuses them across zaps.
Common endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, and related email endpoints like GET/POST emails/builder.
Trigger: a new blog post is created in Blogs API to kick off downstream actions.
Actions: createPost, publishPost, fetchPost data; map title, content, slug, category, and author fields.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: a blog post is updated in Blogs API to synchronize changes.
Actions: updatePost, patchPost, getPost; map postId, title, content, slug.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: category or author data changes in Blogs API to refresh references.
Actions: listCategories, listAuthors, checkSlugExists; map categoryId, categoryName, authorId, authorName.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, categoryName, authorId, authorName
Automate publishing and updates without writing code.
Keep posts, categories, and authors in sync across apps.
Reduce manual data entry and speed up publishing cadence.
Key elements and processes used by the Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector are described here to help you map fields and endpoints.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action on a service.
The process of proving identity to access resources, typically via OAuth or API keys.
The data sent in a request body when creating or updating a resource.
Maximum allowed requests per minute or hour as defined by the API provider.
Connect your content calendar, draft posts in your CMS, and publish automatically on a set schedule.
Route posts to different categories or channels based on triggers in Zapier.
Assign posts to authors from your CMS and automate attribution in posts.
In Zapier, create a new connection to GHL Blogs API and authorize the app.
Select the endpoints you need (for example POST /blogs/posts) and map title, content, and metadata.
Run tests to confirm data flows and then deploy to production.
The Blogs API lets you manage blog content via a consistent programmatic interface. When used with Zapier App Connector, you can automate publishing, updates, and category management without manual steps. You can build Zaps that trigger on new posts or updates and push data to your CMS, email lists, or social channels.
No coding is required for basic connections. The Zapier App Connector handles authentication and mapping for you. If you need more advanced logic, you can add filters, multi-step paths, and custom data transformations within your Zapier workflows.
For publishing, POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories are particularly useful. To edit, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. Combining these endpoints helps you create end-to-end publishing and maintenance workflows.
Authentication uses OAuth tokens or API keys issued by GHL. Store credentials securely in Zapier connections and rotate keys on a schedule to maintain security. Always grant the minimum required scopes to follow the principle of least privilege.
Yes. Zapier provides a test mode and sample data so you can validate ingredients of your workflow without affecting live data. Use a sandbox environment if available and thoroughly test end-to-end flows before going live.
GHL APIs impose rate limits. In Zapier, design workflows to batch requests when possible and space out polling or triggers to stay within limits. Monitor error reports and adjust polling frequencies as needed.
Field mapping guidance is available in the Zapier app setup and endpoint documentation here. Start by mapping core fields like title, content, slug, category, and author, then expand with metadata as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
