Authenticate the Blogs API within your GHL account by generating an API key and granting the Zapier App Connector the necessary scopes to read and write posts and schedules.
In Zapier, securely connect the Blogs API by adding a new connection and selecting OAuth or API key methods, then test the connection to ensure it can read and write posts.
Endpoint highlights include: – GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors

This glossary covers important terms used throughout this guide, including APIs, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
API: A set of endpoints that allow apps to read and write data in the Blogs API.
Trigger: An event in Zapier that starts a workflow when something happens in Blogs API or StreamYard.
Endpoint: A specific URL path that performs a task in the Blogs API.
Slug: A URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs.
Automatically convert StreamYard clips into blog posts with summaries, images, and SEO metadata.
Capture user-generated content via emails/builder and turn it into draft posts for review.
Auto-generate SEO summaries for new posts to boost discoverability.
Enter your API key, verify scopes, and test the connection.
Choose a StreamYard event as a trigger and map the data to blog fields.
Set up actions to create, update, or publish posts in Blogs API and notify StreamYard when needed.
The Blogs API within the GHL context exposes endpoints to manage blog content, authors, categories, and slug validation. It enables programmatic reading and writing of posts, as well as retrieval of author lists and category metadata. This makes it easier to automate content workflows without leaving your GHL environment. You can trigger actions from Zapier based on StreamYard events and push updates back into your blog.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides no-code triggers and actions that you can configure with simple mappings. If you have API keys and correct scopes, you can connect and automate blogging tasks. For advanced needs, you can add small custom fields or filters, but most use cases are achievable with built-in components.
Useful endpoints include GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and DELETE /blogs/posts/:postId for cleanup. These cover creating, updating, retrieving, and validating posts and metadata so you can build robust workflows.
Authenticate using API keys or OAuth in GHL and connect the resulting credentials in Zapier. The two-step process ensures credentials are valid and scope-limited. Test the connection to confirm permissions for reading and writing posts and metadata.
Yes. You can create Zapier workflows that listen for StreamYard events and automatically publish or draft posts in Blogs API. Use triggers from StreamYard, then actions to create, update, or publish blog content.
Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or POST /blogs/check-slug.readonly as appropriate. Check slug existence before publishing to avoid duplicates, and map the result to your workflow decisions.
You can schedule posts by using the blogs/schedule endpoints in combination with Zapier delays or scheduling actions. This helps you time posts for optimal reach and aligns with StreamYard event calendars.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
