Use OAuth 2.0 where supported and API keys for read-only endpoints. Ensure your GHL scopes include emails/builder.readonly for access and keep credentials secure. Scope: emails/builder.readonly.
In Zapier, configure OAuth 2.0 or API key-based authentication, input client ID/secret, and test the connection from the test environment before enabling workflows.

Deliver faster content campaigns by automating data flow
Easily extend with new endpoints as you grow
Understand how endpoints, triggers, actions, and mappings work together to connect Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
A defined URL path that performs a specific operation (read, create, update, delete) on a resource.
A secure authorization framework that grants limited access tokens for API requests.
A callback URL that notifies your app when a specified event occurs.
A URL-friendly version of a resource title used in web paths.
Create a weekly summary of new posts and automatically send a digest to subscribers via the Emails Builder.
Keep blog post slugs consistent across platforms and email content.
Automatically feature new authors in newsletters and blog recaps.
Authorize both sides and select Blogs API as the trigger app.
Map fields such as title, excerpt, and slug to email builder fields.
Run tests, monitor, and enable automation in production.
The Blogs API in GHL provides programmatic access to blog content and email templates. It lets you pull posts, update posts, manage categories, and drive email campaigns from a single API surface. This guide uses the Blogs API to illustrate real-world no-code workflows with Zapier App Connector.
You can get started with no code using Zapier App Connector. Authentication can be OAuth 2.0 or API keys depending on the endpoint. The no-code setup allows you to chain triggers and actions across Blogs API and Emails Builder.
Key endpoints for blog posts include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use URL slug check endpoints to avoid duplicates.
HTTPS, OAuth tokens, and scoped permissions keep data secure. Regular token rotation and minimal scopes help reduce risk. Zapier logs provide auditability.
Yes. You can fetch and sync categories and authors via the endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors and map them into your workflows.
Use Zapier’s test feature to verify triggers and actions. Check request/response bodies and adjust field mappings. Monitor error alerts if any step fails.
Endpoint details are listed in the ENDPOINTLIST section of this article. You can also refer to the GHL API documentation for full specs and rate limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
