GHL requires an OAuth 2.0 access token with the scope emails/builder.readonly to read email templates and schedules.
Connect Zapier to the Blogs API via a secure OAuth flow and store credentials in your connection.

Automate publishing and email flows without writing code
Orchestrate blog and email tasks from a single automation canvas
Templates and categories stay synchronized across apps to save time
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, fields, and data mappings used to build workflows
API stands for Application Programming Interface, a set of endpoints to interact with GHL Blogs API
A slug is a URL friendly version of a post title used in links
Authentication confirms your app identity to GHL to access endpoints securely
Webhooks push real time updates from GHL to your app
Turn new customer emails into blog post drafts using POST /blogs/posts
Publish posts on a schedule and notify teams via the emails builder templates
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and map categories and authors
Register an app in GHL and obtain client credentials to authorize the connection
In Zapier, select the Blogs API app and authorize with stored credentials; request scope emails/builder.readonly
Run tests to ensure data flows between emails and blogs endpoints and deploy the workflow
Yes. To authenticate, generate an OAuth 2.0 access token from GHL using your app credentials and authorize the Zapier connection with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Save the token in Zapier and configure automatic refresh when needed. Test the connection to confirm access to read only email templates and schedules.
For blog post management you will primarily use POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetch supporting data with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Optional endpoints like blogs/check-slug.readonly can help validate slugs before publish.
Yes. You can chain actions to create posts and update templates in a single workflow. Use blog endpoints together with emails endpoints to publish content and send notifications in one run. This keeps content and communications in sync without code.
Slug existence is verified with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug is taken, modify the slug or use a slug variant. You can also validate before publish using the blogs/check-slug.readonly endpoint.
Schedule control is possible via the emails schedule endpoints and blog post publish actions. You can set time based triggers to publish posts and to update email templates at defined times.
Yes. You can retrieve authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts. This data helps with proper attribution and content organization.
No code enables rapid automation without writing software. You can build end to end workflows that connect emails and blogs, test quickly, and deploy with confidence. The integration reduces manual tasks and accelerates publishing.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
