Use your GHL API key with the appropriate scope and securely store credentials. If applicable, follow OAuth2 flows supported by the platform to obtain access tokens for subsequent requests.
Connect Zapier to GHL using the OAuth flow or API key depending on the app settings. Test the connection to confirm permissions for reading and writing blog data.

This glossary covers essential terms and concepts to help you understand the integration workflow between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that allows software applications to communicate with each other.
A specific URL in an API that you call to perform an action or retrieve data.
A URL-friendly version of a string, used in blog post URLs and SEO.
A standard protocol for obtaining and using access tokens to authorize API requests securely.
Create a zap that publishes new drafts from your CMS to Blogs API automatically, reducing manual steps and ensuring timely publication.
When a post is published, automatically generate social media summaries and schedule posts to drive reach.
Aggregate weekly posts into a digest and distribute it to subscribers via automation.
Obtain your Blogs API key and set up authentication in the Zapier App Connector, ensuring proper permission scopes.
Create a new connection in Zapier, authorize access to Blogs API, and run a test to confirm connectivity.
Map blog fields (title, content, slug, category, author) to the API fields and configure triggers and actions to automate publishing workflows.
Blogs API supports API key based authentication and OAuth 2.0 where applicable. In Zapier, configure your connection to securely store tokens or keys and ensure the app has the necessary read/write permissions. Always use the least-privilege scope required for your automation to minimize risk. For development, rotate credentials regularly and monitor access logs.
To create a post, you typically use POST /blogs/posts with the required fields such as title, content, slug, and metadata. You may optionally supply publish_date and author/category identifiers. After creation, verify the post appears in Blogs API and adjust the slug if needed to avoid conflicts.
Yes. You can check slug availability using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to prevent duplicate URLs. This helps maintain clean SEO-friendly URLs and avoids conflicts in your blog catalog.
No coding is required for standard publish/update workflows. Zapier’s no-code interface lets you map fields, set triggers, and configure actions. More advanced automation may require custom fields or conditional logic, but many use cases work well with built-in steps.
No-code connections enable rapid prototyping, easier maintenance, and the ability to iterate without engineering cycles. You can deploy multi-app automations that connect content creation, editing, and distribution across platforms in minutes.
The endpoint list includes documented routes such as GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and POST /blogs/post-update.write. Your exact needs determine which endpoints to use; start with creating posts and checking slugs, then fetch authors and categories as needed.
