Authenticate requests to Blogs API from Zapier App Connector using an API key or OAuth flow. Store credentials securely in your GHL and Zapier connections and test access with a quick ping.
In Zapier, create a new connection for Blogs API and choose OAuth2 or API Key methods. Validate the connection to ensure connectivity before building automations.
Core endpoints for the Blogs API you’ll use with Zapier App Connector include: – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog draft is created or published in GHL triggers a post in Blogs API.
Action: Use POST /blogs/posts to create a new blog post with data mapped from GHL (title, content, slug, author, categories).
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, author_id, categories
Trigger: A post is updated in GHL which should be reflected in Blogs API.
Action: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to sync changes (title, content, status) with the corresponding post in Blogs API.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status
Trigger: New or updated categories/authors in GHL should propagate to Blogs API.
Action: Create or update entries in Blogs API for categories and authors (e.g., POST /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/authors) and map fields accordingly.
POST /blogs/categories
category_name, slug, description
Automate repetitive publishing and updating tasks without writing code.
Real-time syncing of posts, categories, and authors to keep content consistent.
Faster go-to-market with repeatable, testable workflows.
This glossary covers common terms used in the integration between GHL, Blogs API, and the Zapier App Connector, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
Go High Level (GHL) is a CRM and marketing automation platform used to manage contacts, campaigns, and content workflows.
Blogs API is the content management API used to create, update, check, and retrieve blog posts, categories, and authors.
Zapier App Connector enables no-code integrations between apps, triggering actions and transferring data securely.
An endpoint is a specific URL path you call to perform an action in an API (e.g., create a post or fetch categories).
Automatically publish new drafts created in GHL to Blogs API through Zapier to keep your blog current without manual steps.
Maintain consistent attribution by syncing authors and categories from GHL into Blogs API records.
Automatically update SEO-friendly slugs in Blogs API to reflect title changes, preserving link integrity.
In Zapier, add a new connection for Blogs API and authorize using the chosen method (OAuth2 or API Key).
Select triggers like new post or post updated, then map fields to corresponding endpoints (title, content, slug, author).
Run tests, review logs, fix mappings, and deploy your workflow to live.
To authenticate, connect Zapier App Connector to Blogs API using OAuth2 or an API Key method. Confirm the connection by performing a simple GET request or ping, and ensure the credentials are stored securely in both systems. If access fails, verify scopes (emails/builder.readonly in this context may differ; use the appropriate blogs scopes) and re-authenticate. Keep credentials rotated and never hard-code keys in your workflows. Use Zapier’s built-in secure storage for tokens and secrets.
For basic blog post creation you’ll typically need to call POST /blogs/posts with a payload including title, slug, content, and author/category mappings. Validation of required fields happens server-side, so map only available fields and provide defaults where needed. You’ll usually also want to check slug uniqueness via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title, content, or status of an existing post. Ensure you pass the postId and any changed fields. Consider implementing a versioned update so trailing changes aren’t overwritten by concurrent edits.
Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness prior to creation. If the slug already exists, adjust the title or slug to maintain unique URLs and avoid content duplication.
To sync authors and categories, map GHL author and category records to Blogs API equivalents and use the appropriate endpoints (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories for reads; POST to create or update those resources as needed). Regular reconciliation keeps data consistent across platforms.
Test with a controlled set of posts and categories in a sandbox environment. Validate field mappings, endpoint responses, and error handling. Use Zapier’s test mode to simulate real flows, then gradually roll out to production after confirming stability.
If something goes wrong, check the Zapier task history for error messages and API response codes. Verify credentials, scopes, and endpoint availability. Review field mappings for mismatches and test with minimal data to isolate the issue.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
