Use an API key or OAuth as supported by the Blogs API to authorize Zapier requests. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Zapier uses signed webhooks and API tokens to verify requests. Configure your account and test secure connections.

No coding is required to set up a basic Zapier connection with the Blogs API. The no code workflow builder in Zapier lets you trigger events from one app and perform actions in another. You can wire data fields from theBlogs API into Zapier actions without writing any scripts. If you are new to Zapier, start with a simple trigger and a single action to validate the flow. As you become familiar, you can expand to multi-step automations.
A basic workflow typically needs endpoints for creating posts and retrieving post data. For example, POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Depending on your use case, you may also need GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs and GET /blogs/authors to populate author data.
Authentication is typically performed via API keys or OAuth tokens. In Zapier, store credentials securely and use signed requests for webhooks. Regularly rotate keys, limit access to the minimum required scope, and enable logging to monitor activity.
Yes. Zapier can schedule posts by setting a publish date in the Blogs API or by queuing a post for automatic publishing at a future time. You can build a trigger from a calendar or content calendar and map the publishDate field to ensure timely posting.
If a post is deleted in GHL, the Zapier workflow will need to handle the event gracefully. Depending on your setup, you can archive related records in Zapier, skip subsequent actions for that post, or trigger a cleanup task in associated apps.
Map fields by matching the source data to the API field names. For example map title to title, content to content, slug to slug, and categoryId to the target category field. Use Zapier’s data transformer to format values as needed and validate required fields before sending requests.
