Authenticate requests to Blogs API with your API key or OAuth credentials. Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly and use the Authorization header for each call.
Authenticate the UpLead side of the connection using the recommended method from UpLead either OAuth 2.0 or API key. Keep tokens secure and refresh as needed.
Key endpoints used in the Blogs API integration with UpLead: – GET emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – blogs/post.write – blogs/check-slug.readonly – blogs/category.readonly – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/posts – POST /blogs/posts – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – POST /emails/builder – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId
Trigger: When a new lead is captured in UpLead, create a new blog post draft via Blogs API POST /blogs/posts using lead data for title and outline.
Actions: map lead properties to post title, content, and author; optionally add tags and SEO metadata via endpoints such as PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields include title, content, authorId and a slug or status
Trigger: lead status change or new comment updates trigger a blog post update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: modify title or body and push changes; optionally update slug and publish status
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content
Trigger: before publishing, verify the slug is unique with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Actions: if slug exists, adjust it or skip publish; then publish with POST /blogs/posts
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug

The Blogs API offers a REST interface to manage blog content and related assets from your GHL connection. It supports creating, updating and retrieving posts, categories and authors. By connecting UpLead data you can auto populate post fields with lead details. This enables rapid content generation without manual copy and paste. In practice you will set triggers in Zapier to create drafts or update posts when leads are added or updated.
No heavy coding is required. Use the Zapier App Connector to map fields and call REST endpoints. For more complex scenarios you can add small custom scripts or use built in functions to transform data before pushing to Blogs API.
The essential endpoints typically include creating posts POST /blogs/posts, updating posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and slug checks GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You may also pull author and category data via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate drop downs and metadata.
Use API keys or OAuth tokens securely. Do not expose tokens in public tools. Rotate credentials regularly and use the Authorization header for requests. Consider IP allow lists and least privilege access.
Yes. You can automate updates by triggering a PUT request when lead data changes or on a scheduled check. This keeps content aligned with current lead information and campaigns.
Slug existence is checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug already exists you should modify the slug or postpone publishing to avoid duplicate URLs and SEO issues.
Error logs and troubleshooting can be viewed in the API dashboard and Zapier task history. Enable detailed logging on the Apps and check for HTTP status codes to identify integration issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
