To securely exchange data, configure authentication for the Blogs API in your GHL account and authorize the Zapier App Connector to access the required resources.
Authorize the Zapier App Connector to request and use Blogs API endpoints. Grant the necessary scopes and confirm permissions.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, PUT /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: a new or updated blog post in Blogs API starts the workflow.
Actions: publish to Vista Social, create or update email templates, and refresh category data.
Methods used: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: postId, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: new blog post publishes to email builder
Actions: create/update emails via emails/builder, data push to emails/builder/data
Methods: POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data
Fields: locationId, templateId
Trigger: publish blog post and propagate to channels
Actions: push to social, update sitemap, notify teams
Methods: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: slug, postId, authorId
No need to write code—assemble workflows with simple triggers and actions.

Rapid deployment lets you test ideas quickly and iterate.
Learn the core terms: API endpoints, triggers, actions, method paths, and key fields as they relate to connecting Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector in GHL.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the Blogs API in GHL.
An event that starts an automated workflow in the integration between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
A task executed in response to a trigger, such as creating a post or updating a template.
The RESTful path used for API calls, such as /blogs/posts/:postId.
Automatically publish new posts to Vista Social, email templates, and social channels with customized templates.
Aggregate recent posts and deliver digest emails to subscribers using the email builder.
Check slug availability, enrich with metadata, and publish with SEO-friendly details.
Verify you have access to Blogs API and required scopes, such as emails/builder.readonly, blogs/post.write, and blogs/schedule.readonly.
Create a trigger for a new or updated post and map actions like publish, update, and template creation.
Run tests to confirm data flow, monitor for errors, and deploy to production.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets you manage blog content, categories, authors, and posts from within GHL. It exposes endpoints for creating, updating, and scheduling blog content as well as for managing related email templates and communications. In this guide we focus on how to connect it via the Zapier App Connector to empower Vista Social workflows. The integration enables seamless content automation without leaving your GHL environment.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, and GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data. For email automation, use GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, and POST /emails/builder/data to create and populate templates, with scheduling via GET /emails/schedule.
You can authenticate via OAuth or API keys depending on how your GHL account is configured; both methods are supported by the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. Ensure the issued token includes the required scopes for your workflow (for example, blogs/post.write and emails/builder.readonly). Test tokens in a secure environment before going live.
No deep coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no code interface to map triggers and actions between Blogs API and GHL. If you need custom logic, you can add simple code steps in Zapier or use webhooks for advanced flows.
To troubleshoot, check the integration logs in Zapier and GHL for authorization errors, missing fields, or endpoint deprecations. Verify that scopes are granted, endpoint paths are correct, and test with sample posts to isolate the issue.
Yes. You can automate email templates with the builder and data endpoints, and schedule campaigns through the emails/schedule endpoint. Map triggers from blog events to email actions for a cohesive content distribution flow.
Endpoint documentation is available in the GHL developer docs, and the Zapier App Connector docs provide field mappings and examples. This guide also includes practical endpoints and scenarios to help you get started quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
