Authenticate your Blogs API calls with your GHL credentials and the required scopes. Ensure access to blogs endpoints such as blogs/posts and blogs/authors, and store credentials securely.
In the Zapier App Connector, connect your Zapier account using OAuth2 or an API key, then test the connection to confirm access to the Blogs API endpoints.

Automate publishing workflows across channels without writing code.
Sync authors and categories automatically to keep blog metadata consistent.
Centralized error handling, retries, and logs inside Zapier for quick troubleshooting.
This glossary defines common terms like API endpoint, slug, post, and webhook and explains how they apply to connecting the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action in a web service.
A URL-friendly string that identifies a blog post.
A piece of blog content that can be created, updated, or published.
A real-time notification sent when an event occurs, used to trigger automations.
Create a Zap that automatically shares new Blogs API posts to LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook when you publish in Blogs API.
Pull author, category, and slug data from your CRM into the blog post record to keep metadata aligned.
Schedule archiving for posts after a set period and move them to an archive category or table.
No coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a visual setup to map Blogs API triggers to actions across apps. You can configure filters, delays, and multi-step workflows without touching code. This makes automation accessible to non-developers while staying flexible for advanced users.
To publish posts use the POST /blogs/posts endpoint to create a new post. Update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can also verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs before publishing.
Slug validation is done via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug exists you should modify it before creating or updating the post. A unique slug helps maintain clean URLs and prevents content duplication.
Categories and authors can be synced by calling GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull current data, then mapping those fields into your blog posts. Regular sync keeps metadata aligned across systems.
Yes. No-code automations reduce development time and risk. You can set up triggers, actions, and filters in a visual builder, then test and deploy with confidence.
Authentication involves connecting your GHL account for Blogs API and configuring Zapier App Connector to access the endpoints. Use OAuth2 or API keys as supported, and store credentials securely with proper scopes.
Errors and logs appear in Zapier as task history and in the connection test output. Use the built-in debugging tools to inspect requests, responses, and any failures to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
