In GHL, configure the Blogs API connection by entering client credentials and requested scopes such as emails/builder.readonly. Use OAuth 2.0 when supported or API keys provided by Blogs API.
In Zapier, create a new connection for GHL. Provide the client ID and secret, authorize access, and confirm the scope matches the endpoints you plan to use such as blogs and emails.
– 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
Trigger in Zapier when a new item is created and create a blog post in Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts
Actions map title content slug category and author and call POST /blogs/posts and handle the response
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger when a blog post is updated in Zapier and update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and map fields
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger when categories or authors change in Blogs API or on schedule and fetch with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch metadata and update in Zapier
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name; authorId, name
Build end to end workflows without writing code map fields visually and trigger actions
Automate content processes like posting updating and publishing schedules
Scale content operations across platforms with consistent data
A quick glossary of terms used in GHL Blogs API and Zapier App Connector and how they relate to endpoints.
Application Programming Interface: a defined way for applications to communicate via endpoints, methods and data formats
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs an action when called
OAuth is an open standard for access delegation enabling apps to access user data without sharing passwords
Slug is the URL friendly version of a post title used in URLs
Trigger a welcome email series when a new subscriber signs up and fetch content from Blogs API to populate posts
Publish post summaries to social channels via Zapier App Connector when a post is created or updated
Generate SEO friendly drafts and ensure slug consistency using the slug check endpoint
Add Blogs API as a connected app in GHL and configure OAuth credentials
Choose triggers like new post or updated post and map to Zapier events
Test the workflow end to end and refine field mappings
No coding is required. You can connect Blogs API with GHL using Zapier App Connector and your preferred authentication method. Then you map fields in the Zapier editor to create posts, update content and manage schedules. The setup is guided and visual, making it accessible for non developers. The result is a powerful no code workflow that handles publishing and updates automatically.
For basic posting you will typically use POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. You may also pull in GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to enrich the post data. The specific steps depend on your workflow in Zapier.
First check the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug exists, adjust the title or slug and retry. Keeping unique slugs helps prevent content conflicts and ensures clean URLs.
Yes. You can sync categories and authors by fetching GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and then mapping those fields to your blog posts. Updates can be sent back with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId when needed.
OAuth 2.0 is the common approach for GHL app connections. If the Blogs API supports API keys, you can store them securely in the GHL app settings. Always use the recommended authentication method for your endpoints.
To test the integration use Zapier’s built in test actions and data samples. Verify the payloads match the expected API fields and check the Blogs API responses for any errors. Iterate on field mappings as needed.
In Zapier you can view and adjust data mappings in the editor and review task history to see the actual payloads. The GHL app documentation and test data help you confirm correct mappings.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
