Access the Blogs API using your GHL API key and the proper scopes. For this Stan workflow, ensure the scope includes reading emails and managing posts. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly.
In Stan, configure the GHL connection by entering your API key and selecting the appropriate scopes. Test the connection to confirm latency and permissions before building automations.

This glossary covers common terms and processes used when connecting Blogs API with Stan via the Zapier App Connector.
A URL-friendly version of the post title used in the blog URL.
A specific URL that exposes an action or resource in an API.
A code issued by the service that authenticates and authorizes API requests.
The data sent with an API request or returned in a response.
Automatically generate an email template in Stan when a new Blog post is published in Blogs API and queue it for distribution.
Use slug checks before publishing to ensure SEO readiness and clean URLs.
Publish posts to multiple channels via Stan with minimal configuration.
Obtain a valid GHL API key and set the scope to emails/builder.readonly for safe access.

No. The Stan integration with Blogs API is a no-code workflow built in Zapier App Connector. You can configure triggers, actions, and filters visually. This makes it easy to automate blog publishing and email campaigns without writing code. Additionally, you can customize when the automations fire and what data is passed between Blogs API and Stan to fit your business process.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides drag-and-drop steps to connect endpoints like emails/builder and blogs/posts. You can adjust mappings and logic using conditional routes. For advanced users, you can still extend with custom filters and test data to validate behavior.
Start with essential endpoints for blogs: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly to validate slugs, along with POST /blogs/posts to publish. For email automation, use GET/POST emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data. This gives you a baseline for end-to-end workflows.
Yes. Use the slug-check endpoints (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly) to verify slug availability. You can set a conditional step in Zapier to halt publishing if the slug is taken. Previewing and testing slug results helps ensure SEO-friendly URLs before publishing.
Yes. You can manage and automate email templates via emails/builder and data endpoints. Stan can fetch and create templates, then attach them to posts or campaigns as part of your workflow. Use the data endpoint to populate templates with post metadata when publishing.
There are no universal hard limits in Zapier for these endpoints beyond your GHL plan. In practice, you may be rate-limited by the Blogs API or your Zapier task limits. Plan batch sizes and schedule runs to avoid spikes. Monitor via Zapier task history and GHL API status pages.
Use Zapier task history, Webhooks, and the GHL API status endpoints to monitor errors and latency. Set up alerts and retry policies to ensure reliable automation and quick issue resolution. Leverage built-in retries and logs to diagnose failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
