To begin, generate API credentials in your Blogs API settings on GHL, then securely enter them into Zapier under the Blogs API connection.
In Zapier, locate the Blogs API app and authorize access using the preferred method (OAuth 2.0 or API key) supported by the connector.
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) and push it into a Zapier workflow for downstream actions.
Actions: create a blog post, update a post, or notify teams via email or chat when a post is published.
Key methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure a unique slug.
Title, Content, Slug, Author, Categories, Publish Date
Trigger on updates to posts or authors in Blogs API and reflect changes in Zapier.
Actions: fetch and map categories and authors; update post metadata across systems.
Core endpoints: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Post ID, Title, Slug, Category, Author
Trigger when a post is created or updated and distribute content to channels via Zapier.
Actions: publish to email newsletters, social channels, and internal dashboards.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder (for newsletters), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Post Title, Content, Slug, Publish Date, Channels
Launch automations in minutes without writing code.

A quick glossary of essential terms and how they relate to connecting the Blogs API with Zapier.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with a service, e.g., GET /blogs/authors.
A mechanism for one app to notify another in real time when an event occurs.
The process of proving identity to the API (OAuth, API keys, etc.).
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and slugs.
When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, automatically generate a weekly digest email and push it to your team’s Slack channel.
Route posts to different channels based on category or author using Zapier workflows.
Create a review and publish cycle by routing drafts through an approval step in Zapier.
In your Blogs API settings on GHL, generate and copy your API credentials to your Zapier connection.
In Zapier, locate the Blogs API app and authorize the connection using the provided credentials.
Choose a trigger, add actions, and test the workflow to automate your content processes.
Zapier supports OAuth 2.0 and API key methods for the Blogs API connection. Choose the method your team uses, then authorize in the Zapier prompt. If you’re using API keys, keep them secure and rotate regularly.
For basic publishing, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify custom slugs. You can also fetch categories via GET /blogs/categories and authors via GET /blogs/authors.
Yes. You can fetch and map category and author data using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, then use that data in triggers or actions within Zapier to route content accordingly.
Use the Test feature in Zapier to simulate triggers and actions. Check the API responses in the Zapier task history and adjust the payloads to match API expectations.
No coding is required. Zapier’s visual workflow builder handles triggers, actions, and data mapping, while the Blogs API endpoints perform the heavy lifting.
Required fields typically include title, content, slug, and publish date. Optional fields can include summary, author, category, tags, and feature image.
API rate limits vary by plan. Check the Blogs API docs for current quotas, implement retries with exponential backoff, and respect token scopes to avoid overages.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
