The Blogs API is a RESTful interface within GHL that lets you read and write blog posts, categories, and authors. This enables automated content workflows when connected through the Zapier App Connector. In practice, you’ll create and update posts using endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, while checking slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. With the no-code Zapier App Connector, you can map these calls into a single workflow without writing code, accelerating editorial cycles.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to configure triggers, actions, and data mappings. If you need complex logic, you can still add conditional steps or filters within the workflow. For advanced scenarios, you can combine multiple endpoints to create robust publishing pipelines across channels.
To publish a post, you typically call POST /blogs/posts with the post data. To update an existing post, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. To ensure a slug is unique before publishing, you can call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These endpoints keep your content consistent and SEO-friendly.
Yes. You can retrieve and map categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. This lets you assign correct metadata to posts and maintain accurate author credit and category taxonomy in your workflows. If needed, you can also fetch updated lists to keep your mappings current.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. If the slug exists, you can adjust the title or slug in your workflow and retry the check. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and preserves SEO integrity.
Yes. You can schedule emails for post notifications using the Emails Builder endpoints (POST /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data). This enables timely alerts when new posts go live or when editors approve changes. You can also automate follow-ups or digests on a set cadence.
All endpoints are documented in the GHL API reference and surfaced in the Blogs API section of the Zapier App Connector docs. You can view the endpoint list and mapping guidance within the integration docs in your account.
