Authenticate using your GHL API credentials and the Zapier App Connector. Ensure your API key or OAuth token has the scope needed for reading and writing blog content and emails.
Configure the Zapier App Connector to securely store and refresh credentials, then test connectivity to both Blogs API and GHL endpoints.
Key endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts for retrieval, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, POST /emails/builder to create emails, GET /emails/builder and GET /emails/schedule for email workflows, GET /blogs/categories for categories, GET /blogs/authors for author data.
Trigger: New blog post created in your source (Zapier) workflow, which then creates a post in Blogs API.
Action: POST /blogs/posts to publish, followed by optional email notification via POST /emails/builder.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: Blog post edits detected in Zapier workflow.
Action: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; optionally sync slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId
Trigger: Schedule or on-demand fetch of blogs, then push summaries to GHL dashboards or emails.
Action: GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, then propagate to emails or internal notes via emails/builder.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, summary

Create Zaps that trigger on blog events and carry out actions in GHL via the App Connector.
The Blogs API lets you create, update, and retrieve blog content within GHL workflows through the Zapier App Connector. You can trigger actions in Zapier when a new blog is published or updated and push data to GHL email templates or notifications. This creates a seamless content automation loop. In addition, you can manage author data, categories, and slug validation to ensure consistency across platforms.
For basic publishing, focus on POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts for retrieval. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid slug collisions. You can also utilize POST /emails/builder to trigger email content related to each post.
Use secure credentials storage in the Zapier App Connector and on-GHL authentication flows. Rotate tokens regularly and apply the minimum necessary scopes such as emails/builder.readonly for read-only access and emails/builder.write for edits. Test connections in a controlled environment before going live.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts from Zapier. Include postId and the fields you want to change. You can chain this with slug checks to prevent conflicts.
Slug validation is done via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug already exists, you should modify it before attempting to publish. This helps prevent duplicate URLs in your blog system.
Emails can be linked to blog posts by creating or updating email templates via POST /emails/builder and scheduling via emails/schedule.readonly endpoints. This enables automatic notifications when a post goes live or is updated.
Pricing and limits vary by plan. Check your GHL API access and Zapier App Connector quota to understand read/write restrictions and rate limits. contact support for enterprise needs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
