Authenticate using your Blogs API credentials and ensure the required scope emails/builder.readonly is granted for read access to templates, schedules, posts, and related resources.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector to your Blogs API account using the defined OAuth flow or token-based method. Ensure scopes cover reading and writing posts, emails, and schedules as needed.
Endpoints covered include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/authors, blogs/post.write, blogs/category.readonly, blogs/author.readonly, blogs/post-update.write.
Use GET emails/builder as a trigger for new or updated email templates that tie into blog notification flows.
Create or update templates with POST emails/builder, manage posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and fetch details via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Methods used include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories.
Key fields include locationId, templateId, postId, slug, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger on new blog post data to publish via POST /blogs/posts and keep templates in sync with emails.

Methods include: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Fields to map: postId, slug, title, content, categoryId, authorId.
Use GET emails/schedule to coordinate posting times with author calendars.
Schedule posts, rotate authors, and manage drafts using blogs/authors and blogs/categories.
Methods include: GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories.
Fields to track: scheduleId, authorId, categoryId.
Automate publishing, scheduling, and content updates without writing code.
Sync blog data with email templates and campaigns for cohesive workflows.
Centralize monitoring and error handling within Zapier, reducing manual steps.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, fields, and data mappings. It explains how to authenticate, test, and deploy no-code automations between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
The API layer used to read, write, and manage data for emails, blogs, authors, and categories within the GHL ecosystem.
An event that starts a Zapier workflow, such as a new blog post or a schedule update.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, e.g., create a blog post or update a template.
A specific URL path to access or modify resources in the API.
Automatically draft blog posts from email templates using Blogs API endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and emails/builder to drive content creation without code.
Sync author calendars with publish dates and metadata using blogs/authors and blogs/categories for organized planning.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to maintain uniqueness.
Register credentials, set the required scope (including emails/builder.readonly), and connect the Blogs API to Zapier.
Run sample GET/POST requests to map postId, templateId, slug, authorId, and categoryId into your Zapier fields.
Build triggers and actions to automate publishing, scheduling, and categorization.
Blogs API supports API key or OAuth-based authentication depending on your setup. In the Zapier App Connector, choose the appropriate flow and grant the requested scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly) to enable access to templates, posts, and schedules. Keep credentials secure, rotate keys regularly, and test in a development environment before going live. If your organization uses OAuth, ensure the callback URL is whitelisted.
To create posts, use POST /blogs/posts. To update existing posts, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can also fetch post data with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. For templates and email-triggered content, use POST /emails/builder and related endpoints such as POST /emails/builder/data. Map fields like postId, slug, title, and categoryId in Zapier.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug existence. The response indicates if the slug is available or already in use. If the slug exists, you can fetch the existing post details and adjust the title or slug accordingly before publishing.
Yes. Use GET emails/schedule to coordinate timing and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. You can associate posts with authors and set publish times. You can also use blogs/categories to organize content and ensure consistency across posts and emails.
Scopes like emails/builder.readonly control access. Respect rate limits defined by the Blogs API and implement retries with exponential backoff in your Zapier workflows. Monitor for API errors and set up alerting in your integration to avoid disruptions.
Map fields such as postId, slug, title, content, authorId, and categoryId to corresponding Zapier fields when configuring triggers and actions. Use test data from the endpoints to ensure mappings are accurate and consistent across runs.
No code is required. The Zapier App Connector orchestrates the Blogs API endpoints without writing custom code. If you need more complex logic, you can add filters and conditional paths in Zapier, but the core connections rely on the documented endpoints.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
