Obtain your Blogs API key from the GHL developer portal and configure token-based access to secure endpoints.
In Zapier, create a new connected account for the Blogs API and approve access scopes required for reading and posting blog data.
Core endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: create post, publish it, and share to newsletters or social channels.
POST /blogs/posts
Required: title, content, slug, category_id, author_id
Trigger: an existing post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: update post, re-publish, and sync tags
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: scheduled publish time is reached
Actions: schedule, publish, and notify subscribers
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, schedule_time

Key elements: authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping. Processes: connect, test, deploy, and monitor integrations.
A unique token used to authenticate requests to Blogs API.
A URI path on the API that performs a specific function.
The process of proving identity to access the API.
A URL that receives real-time data pushes from the API.
Create a Zap that compiles newly published posts into a weekly digest email.
When a new post goes live, automatically post brief snippets to social platforms.
Use content analysis to assign accurate categories and improve discoverability.
Register an API key in GHL and note the client ID and secret.
In Zapier, configure the connected account with the required scopes, such as emails/builder.readonly.
Run test calls to endpoints and verify responses before going live.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog content, including creating, updating, retrieving posts, and managing metadata. It enables automation of publishing workflows from GHL. The Zapier App Connector allows you to wire these actions into your existing automation stack without writing code.
No traditional coding is required. The integration uses Zapier’s triggers and actions to connect Blogs API endpoints. You can map fields like title, content, and slug to ensure data flows correctly, then test with built-in tools.
Supported endpoints cover common blogging tasks: create posts, update posts, fetch categories and authors, and check slug uniqueness. You can chain these endpoints with other apps in Zapier to automate publishing, promotion, and analytics.
Security is addressed via API keys and OAuth; you control which scopes are granted (for example emails/builder.readonly). Zapier stores credentials securely and you can revoke access any time from your connected accounts.
Yes. You can schedule posts and automate distribution to newsletters, email campaigns, and social channels. Use the scheduling trigger with post creation to ensure timely publication across platforms.
Start by testing the connection with a few sample requests in Zapier’s test editor. If errors occur, check authentication, endpoint permissions, and mapping of fields like title and content; enable logs to troubleshoot.
For more resources, consult the Blogs API docs, Zapier help center, and developer forums. If you still need help, reach out to support for guidance on complex workflows and troubleshooting.
