Securely authorize the Blogs API within Zapier App Connector using API keys or OAuth scopes, keeping scope emails/builder.readonly by default unless you need more access.
Configure Zapier to request the minimum scopes needed to read and manipulate blogs and emails, then test the connection.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts.
Use GET /blogs/posts to monitor new or updated posts and trigger workflows when content changes.
Actions include creating or updating posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and distributing notifications through emails/builder endpoints.
Example flow: GET /blogs/posts to trigger → PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update → POST emails/builder/data to populate newsletters.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, status, categoryId, authorId
Trigger email campaigns when new posts publish or when a schedule fires via emails/schedule.
Actions: generate and send emails using templates (GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder) and schedule via emails/schedule.
Example: POST /emails/builder/data to fill a newsletter template; GET /emails/builder to fetch templates.
Key fields: templateId, locationId, scheduleId, recipientList
Trigger on new posts to enrich content with categories, SEO meta, and slug checks.
Actions: apply category, author, and SEO data using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; publish with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Example: GET /blogs/categories → GET /blogs/authors → PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Key fields: postId, slug, seoTitle, seoDescription, categoryId, authorId.
Build powerful automations without writing a line of code.

A quick glossary of the endpoints, methods, and data fields used in connecting GHL Blogs API with Zapier.
A defined URL path you call in the GHL API to perform actions like fetch posts or update a post.
A piece of content published on your blog, which can be created, updated, and managed via endpoints.
A URL-friendly identifier used in the post URL and slug existence checks.
Credentials that allow access to the GHL API (API Keys, OAuth scopes, tokens).
Publish posts to your blog and automatically broadcast to newsletters and social channels using blogs/posts and emails/builder endpoints.
Configure scheduled emails that pull in latest posts via blogs/posts and templates via emails/builder.
Use URL slug checks and category metadata to ensure posts are published with SEO best practices.
Generate an API key or OAuth client in your GHL account and configure it in Zapier.
Select the required endpoints (blogs and emails) and map fields to your Zapier workflows.
Test the triggers and actions, then deploy to production.
You can set up the integration with minimal or no coding by using Zapier’s visual workflow builder. Start by connecting your GHL account, then pick the blogs and emails endpoints to map data into your zaps. The platform guides you through triggers and actions with sample data to validate each step. In most cases, a basic workflow can be live in under an hour.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts. You may also use GET /blogs/posts to monitor existing posts and trigger automation accordingly.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to ensure slug uniqueness. If the slug exists, adjust it or create a new one. You can also implement a slug-generation step in Zapier to guarantee unique slugs across platforms.
Yes. Create a Zap that triggers on publish events and uses POST /emails/builder to generate newsletters, then POST /emails/builder/data to populate content. Schedule and resend as needed using GET /emails/schedule to manage delivery windows.
Supported methods include API Keys and OAuth tokens. Use the minimal scope necessary, such as emails/builder.readonly for reading templates. Rotate credentials regularly and store securely. If your needs grow, you can request additional scopes.
Zapier has built-in retry logic. If a request fails due to a transient error, Zapier will retry according to your task settings. You can implement exponential backoff and monitor logs. Use error handling steps to alert teams or pause workflows when persistent failures occur.
Endpoint documentation is available in your GHL developer portal and the Zapier app directory. Use the API reference for exact request formats, parameters, and examples. You can also refer to in-app help and Rankr notes for context-specific guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
