Use OAuth 2.0 or API key depending on the endpoint; ensure you have the proper scopes, such as emails/builder.readonly for reading templates and blogs endpoints for posting.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API app by providing your GHL credentials and selecting the required scopes. Save the connection for reuse in workflows.
– GET emails/builder: retrieve email templates for use in campaigns and posts – POST emails/builder: create or update email templates – POST /emails/builder/data: attach data payloads to email templates – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId: remove a template from a location – GET emails/schedule: fetch scheduled email actions – GET blogs/posts: list blog posts (via blogs endpoints) – POST /blogs/posts: create a new blog post – POST /blogs/posts: publish or save a draft of a post – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId: update a specific blog post – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists: check if a slug is available – GET /blogs/categories: list blog categories – GET /blogs/authors: list blog authors – GET /blogs/categories: read-only category data – GET /blogs/authors: read-only author data – POST /blogs/post-update.write: update an existing post’s content or status – GET /blogs/posts: generic post retrieval – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists: verify slug availability for new posts
Trigger: When a new draft template is finalized, automatically create a blog post using POST /blogs/posts and populate metadata from templates.
Actions: Retrieve template via GET emails/builder, then publish via POST /blogs/posts; update slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists if needed.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts, GET emails/builder, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: templateId, locationId, postId, slug, title
Trigger: When an email template is updated, generate a corresponding blog post draft to maintain branding consistency.
Actions: Use POST emails/builder to update templates and POST /blogs/posts to create drafts; synchronize categories and authors as needed.
Method paths: POST emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: templateId, categoryId, authorId, postId
Trigger: Schedule reads of templates and categories to plan upcoming content without writing changes.
Actions: Read GET emails/builder, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors to inform content calendars.
Method paths: GET emails/builder, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: templateId, categoryId, authorId
Automate repetitive blogging tasks without writing code.
Publish posts to multiple channels using one workflow and existing endpoints.
Maintain consistency with templates, categories, and author assignments across posts.
This glossary explains the core elements you’ll use to connect the GHL Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
The GHL API provides endpoints to manage emails, blogs, categories, authors, and schedules for automation within your integrations.
A GHL module focused on blog content, including posts, categories, and authors management.
A specific URL and HTTP method pair used to perform an action against the GHL API.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in the blog post URL.
Pull top posts from drafts and schedule a weekly digest post to publish across channels.
Auto-create weekly slots using categories and authors to maintain a steady publishing rhythm.
Sync email templates to generate draft blogs with consistent branding and messaging.
In Zapier, authorize access to the Blogs API using the required scopes and save the connection for reuse.
Choose endpoints like blogs/posts, emails/builder, and categories to build triggers and actions.
Create a Zap that reads templates and publishes posts automatically using the endpoints.
The Blogs API is a set of endpoints that lets you manage blog content, including posts, categories, and authors, within GHL. It enables creating, updating, and retrieving posts and related data. In Zapier App Connector, you can trigger workflows when posts are created or updated and automate distribution across channels. This combination reduces manual steps and ensures consistent branding across content.
Endpoints include retrieving and creating email templates (emails/builder), creating and updating blog posts (blogs/posts), listing categories (blogs/categories), and listing authors (blogs/authors). Some endpoints are read-only, others support write actions. Always verify required scopes and authentication for each endpoint.
Yes. You can schedule blog-related actions using the appropriate endpoints (for example, scheduling posts or coordinating publish times). The Blogs API supports post creation and updates that can be scheduled within Zapier workflows.
No heavy coding is required. Set up your connection in Zapier App Connector, map fields from your trigger data to the blog fields, and choose the endpoints to automate your workflow.
Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or an API key, depending on what the GHL API supports for your account. Store credentials securely in Zapier and authorize the Blogs API app once to enable multiple zaps.
If you hit rate limits, implement retry logic with exponential backoff in Zapier, distribute requests across time, and batch calls where possible to reduce bursts.
Use Zapier’s test mode and built-in test actions to verify connections, then monitor task history and error logs to troubleshoot any issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
