Authenticate to the Blogs API with OAuth 2.0 tokens scoped for blogs and emails. Use secure storage in your Zapier connection and rotate tokens regularly.
Zapier handles the OAuth flow to authorize the Blogs API connection. Once connected, Zapier refreshes tokens automatically and retries failed requests.

This glossary defines core terms and concepts you’ll encounter when connecting the GHL Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
An interface that enables apps to read, create, update, or delete data in the GHL Blogs API.
A specific URL in the GHL API used to perform an action, e.g., POST /blogs/posts.
Token-based access control (OAuth or API keys) to verify permissions before calls.
A URL-friendly identifier for a post used in URLs and slug checks.
When a new post goes live in Blogs API, automatically draft and send a newsletter via emails/builder using the Blogs API.
Trigger updates when titles or content changes to keep followers informed.
Create monthly author highlight emails by pulling author data from /blogs/authors.
In Zapier, choose Blogs API and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access GHL data.
Select New Blog Post or Post Updated from Blogs API as triggers.
Map blog fields to email builder and schedule actions with the endpoints.
The Blogs API emails endpoint lets you read and draft email content retrieved from the GHL builder. Use the emails/builder endpoints to pull templates, create drafts, and manage schedules. In Zapier, map these outputs to your email campaigns for timely delivery. The same endpoints also support scheduling and rescheduling to fit your content calendar.
Authentication is handled via OAuth tokens issued by GHL. In Zapier, connect the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 and scope access to read or write emails and posts. Zapier automatically refreshes tokens and retries failed requests to keep workflows reliable.
Yes. You can read categories and authors with blogs/category.readonly and blogs/author.readonly, and fetch lists with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map data in workflows.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier for a post. Checking the slug helps prevent duplicates and ensures clean, SEO-friendly URLs such as /my-first-post.
No code is required. The integration uses the Zapier App Connector to connect GHL and Blogs API with pre-built triggers and actions.
Test the connection by running a test in Zapier, verify token validity, and confirm data flows between GHL, Blogs API, and the emails builder.
Review task history, retry on failure, and monitor quota usage in Zapier and GHL dashboards. Set up alerts for failed runs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
