Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key to securely authenticate with the Blogs API via Storage by Zapier. Ensure you grant the correct scopes and rotate credentials regularly.
Zapier Storage authenticates through your connected accounts. Configure the Zapier connection and authorize access to Blogs API endpoints used in this page.

Trigger: when a new blog post is created in GHL, auto create the post in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, map title, content, slug, author and categories.
Method Path: /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, categories, publishDate
Trigger: updates to a draft in Blogs API trigger an update in Zapier Storage.
Actions: POST /blogs/post-update.write or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to reflect status changes and content edits.
Method Path: /blogs/post-update.write
Key fields: postId, status, slug
Trigger: detect slug conflicts and trigger lookup endpoints.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors to validate data.
Method Path: /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, categoryId, authorId
Build automations visually without writing code
Speed up content workflows and publish schedules
Centralize blog data between GHL and Zapier for analytics
This glossary explains terms used in this integration such as slug, endpoint, authentication and payload.
A URL friendly version of the post title used to build the post URL.
A specific URL path exposed by an API to perform a function or fetch data.
The method used to verify identity and grant access to API features, such as OAuth or API keys.
The data sent in a request or returned in a response, typically in JSON format.
Use date triggers to automatically generate monthly blog series in Blogs API via Storage.
Automatically create and validate slugs with category data to improve SEO workflow.
Publish blog posts to additional channels through Zapier automations.
Create and verify your GHL and Zapier connections, and collect API access details.
In Zapier, connect to Blogs API endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories to fetch data and post content.
Run tests, map fields like title slug and content, then enable the workflow for automated publishing.
Storage by Zapier acts as a bridge between GHL and external apps. It lets you create, read and update data in Blogs API without writing code. By connecting your accounts, you can automate blog workflows across platforms. In this scenario, you connect Zapier Storage to the Blogs API endpoints to push and pull blog data as events occur.
Publishing posts uses endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can map fields such as title content slug and publish date to ensure accurate publishing. Test the flow to confirm the post appears in Blogs API as expected.
Slug conflicts are checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug already exists you can adjust the slug generation rules or prompt for a new slug in the automation. This helps prevent duplicate URLs.
Yes. You can retrieve available categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors. This data helps enrich posts and maintain consistent metadata across platforms.
No coding is required for the basic storage integration. Zapier provides a visual interface to map fields and set up triggers and actions. Some advanced setups may require light scripting, but most use cases are achievable with no code.
You typically need write access to the Blogs API endpoints and proper OAuth or API key credentials. Ensure the connected app has permissions for creating updating and reading posts as well as slug checks and category/author retrieval.
To test, use Zapier’s built in test steps and sample data. Verify data mapping for title slug content and author, and run a live test to ensure posts are created or updated in Blogs API as expected.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
