Blogs API authentication uses the provided API scope: emails/builder.readonly, combined with your API key to securely authorize requests from Zapier App Connector.
To authorize the Zapier App Connector with Blogs API, obtain OAuth credentials in your Zapier developer account and grant the required scopes.
GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger ideas include detecting new or updated blog posts using the Blogs API endpoints.
Actions include creating or updating posts via POST /blogs/posts and updating existing ones with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, plus validating slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Methods used: GET for retrieval, POST for creation, PUT for updates on the blogs endpoints.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger: when an email template is created, updated, or scheduled.
Actions: create, update, delete emails; manage templates with POST /emails/builder and DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; data payload via POST /emails/builder/data.
Methods: GET, POST, and DELETE on emails/builder; POST on emails/builder/data.
Key fields: locationId, templateId, data.
Trigger: changes to categories or authors via blogs endpoints.
Actions: fetch categories and authors, map to your app, and pull posts by author.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, slug.
Automate publishing workflows without writing code.
Centralize content management and distribute posts to multiple platforms via Zapier.
Quick setup with ready-made triggers and actions for the Blogs API.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields used when integrating Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
A URL path used to perform a specific operation in the GHL Blogs API.
An event in Blogs API that starts an automation in Zapier App Connector.
A task performed by Zapier in response to a trigger, such as creating a blog post.
A URL-friendly version of a blog post title used to build accessible URLs.
Automatically populate meta title, description, and tags using endpoints like blogs/post.write and related author/category data.
On publish via POST /blogs/posts, push content to social channels and newsletters using additional endpoints.
Check URL slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and auto-adjust if needed.
Generate API credentials, set scope to emails/builder.readonly, and authorize the Zapier App Connector.
Configure triggers and actions using endpoints like GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts.
Test connections, validate slug checks, and deploy your Zapier workflows.
Yes. Use the Blogs API authentication steps and ensure the scope is set to emails/builder.readonly. In Zapier, create a connection to Blogs API using your API key and OAuth credentials. Then configure triggers and actions to access emails builder endpoints or blog endpoints safely. This ensures only the permitted data is accessed and you stay within the defined scope. You can further test by triggering templates and posts to confirm authorized access.
For posting new content, use POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts to verify existing posts. Map fields such as title, content, authorId, categoryId, and slug in Zapier. You can also use blogs/post.write to push content and then confirm via GET endpoints that the post exists. This combo covers creation and verification in one flow.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug existence before publishing. If the slug exists, you can modify it or generate a new one. The blogs/check-slug.readonly endpoint can also be used for a read-only check in a test environment to prevent duplicates.
Yes. The emails/builder endpoints let you create and manage email templates, while POST /emails/builder/data can populate dynamic content. You can schedule emails through the emails/schedule endpoints. This enables end-to-end email template management from Zapier without coding.
You can fetch and map authors using GET /blogs/authors. This enables author-based workflows and allows you to attach authorId to posts. Use GET /blogs/authors in your Zapier trigger to keep author data synced.
Yes. You can schedule email campaigns with the emails/schedule.readonly endpoint and coordinate posting or promotion timing via your Zapier workflows. Scheduling can be combined with posts or email templates to coordinate multi-channel promotions across platforms.
Test your integration by using a staging Zapier connection to simulate triggers (new posts, new templates, etc.). Validate slug checks, verify data mapping, and ensure endpoints respond as expected. When satisfied, deploy to production and monitor activity.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
