GHL provides access tokens tied to your Blogs API scope (emails and blogs). Generate a token from the developer console and attach it to requests from Zapier.
In Zapier, connect your GHL Blogs API app using OAuth 2.0. Set the client credentials and scopes to match the APIs you call (emails and blogs).
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors

No code automation lets your teams connect blogs, emails, and workflows without custom development.
Rapid iteration; test and deploy new automations in minutes.
Centralized authentication and consistent data from all endpoints reduces errors.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, request/response formats, and data mapping between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of rules that lets software components talk to each other securely.
A specific URL path through which a service provides a function.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access credentials for requests.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used in routing and SEO.
Trigger when a new brief is submitted and automatically create a draft post in Blogs API, then route to editors via email templates.
Collect top posts for the week and send a digest using the emails/builder workflow.
When a post is updated, pull updated author data and refresh bios via Blogs API.
Register the Blogs API app in the GHL developer console and request the blogs and emails scopes required for your automations.
Set up OAuth 2.0, capture client credentials, and assign the correct scopes for endpoints you intend to call.
Build Zaps that call endpoints like GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts to move data between Blogs API and your apps.
Short answer: No heavy coding is required—Zapier App Connector handles the glue. You will configure a connection to the Blogs API within Zapier and map the endpoints you need to your Zaps. The Blogs API tokens are stored securely in the GHL OAuth flow and used by Zapier to authenticate requests.
For basic workflows, you’ll typically use: GET emails/builder to fetch email templates, POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata.
Testing is done in Zapier’s Test tab and in a staging environment. Use sample payloads and the built-in endpoint tests to verify responses before enabling live Zaps. Check authentication, error responses, and data mapping.
OAuth 2.0 is the recommended method for Zapier connections. It provides token refresh and scoped access. Alternatively API keys may be used if your GHL setup supports it, but OAuth is preferred for production.
Yes. You can schedule blog emails by using the emails/builder endpoints and Zapier’s scheduling trigger. Create an automation that compiles posts and sends emails on a cadence you choose.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and the endpoint. Plan for retries and backoff in your Zapier workflows and respect the readonly endpoints for data reads.
API docs are available in your GHL developer portal and the Blogs API reference. You can also check the endpoint list above and use the live test console to try requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
