To authorize the Blogs API in Zapier, generate an API key from your Blogs API dashboard and grant the Zapier App Connector access. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API account using OAuth or an API key depending on endpoint requirements. Follow the Apps tab prompts to complete the connection.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Trigger: New blog post is published in Blogs API
Actions: Create and send an email using emails/builder, include post metadata and excerpts
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, category, authorId, slug
Trigger: Blog category updated or new category added
Actions: Update category data in Zapier, trigger email lists based on category
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name, description
Trigger: New author released a post
Actions: Sync posts by author, create author records in Zapier
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, bio

Design custom workflows with triggers and actions using endpoint combinations
Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and authentication as you compose no-code workflows between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
A URL and HTTP method used to interact with the GHL API.
An event that starts an automation in Zapier.
The operation performed as a result of a trigger.
The process to authorize access to APIs, typically via API keys or OAuth.
Automatically push CMS drafts to Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts to publish as soon as approval is given.
Cross-post new articles to social channels and email newsletters via Zapier actions.
Send Slack or email alerts when a post goes live using trigger-based actions.
Generate an API key in Blogs API and store it securely; add it to Zapier during account connection.
In Zapier, search for the Blogs API app and authorize the connection using your API key or OAuth credentials.
Configure triggers (e.g., new post) and actions (e.g., create post, update slug) with the available endpoints.
End-to-end integrations can leverage endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to automate creation, updates, and categorization of content. By combining triggers with actions, you can build robust workflows without writing code. Start with a simple post publish flow and expand to multi-channel distribution as you gain confidence.
No-code users can set up basic workflows using Zapier’s visual editor. Choose the Blogs API app, connect your account, then map fields from triggers (like new posts) to actions (like create posts or send emails). For advanced scenarios, you can combine multiple steps and conditional logic.
Authentication typically uses an API key or OAuth. Generate credentials in Blogs API, configure them in Zapier during app connection, and test the connection. Rotate keys periodically and use separate credentials for development and production environments.
Yes. You can configure PUT endpoints such as PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update published content. Ensure your trigger reliably captures edits and that your actions update the post accordingly to keep data consistent across channels.
Follow endpoint naming and field conventions, validate required fields (title, content, slug), and handle errors gracefully. Use test runs, sandbox data, and rate-limit awareness to avoid throttling during peak times.
API rate limits vary by endpoint. Check the Blogs API docs for current quotas, implement exponential backoff, and consider batching frequent operations. If limits are reached, pause non-critical tasks and retry after the window resets.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
