Use the official authentication method provided by the Blogs API. Include API keys in request headers and apply the scope constraints defined for reading and writing blog data.
In Zapier, connect the GHL Blogs API app using OAuth 2.0 or API key depending on the endpoint. Ensure the configured scopes align with the access you need (reading posts, creating posts, managing categories and authors).

Connect the Blogs API app in Zapier and grant access using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, with the required scopes.
Choose a trigger (new post, post update) and map actions (create, update, categorize) to your CMS.
Test the workflow, enable live runs, and set up alerts for failures.
You can start with endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to create, update, or verify posts and metadata. These endpoints enable creating new posts, updating existing ones, and validating slug availability before publishing.
Authenticate the connection via OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on the endpoint. In Zapier, configure the Blogs API app with your client credentials and required scopes (e.g., blogs/post.write, blogs/post.readonly) to access and modify posts, categories, and authors.
Yes. You can sync authors and categories by querying GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories and then mapping that data into your CMS taxonomy. Regular syncing keeps metadata aligned across systems.
If a slug already exists, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check availability. If it’s taken, generate a new slug or modify the title to create a unique slug before publishing.
GHL APIs have rate limits that apply per endpoint and per app. Plan your workflows to batch updates when possible and space out requests to avoid throttling. Consider applying retries with backoff in Zapier.
In Zapier, map fields from the trigger to the action by selecting corresponding fields (title, content, author, categories, slug). Ensure data types align and required fields are provided for successful posts.
Use Zapier’s test feature to simulate runs with sample data. Validate mappings, test both create and update paths, and then deploy to live once you’re confident the data flows correctly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
