To access the Blogs API, obtain your API credentials and include them in requests. Use the appropriate auth method supported by the Blogs API (API key or OAuth) and ensure your token has the necessary scope for emails/builder and blog operations.
In Zapier, connect your Blogs API account by selecting the Blogs API service and authorizing with your GHL credentials. This creates a secure, reusable connection for automated workflows.

Run tests to verify data flows, then deploy the workflow to automate publishing and notifications.
The Blogs API integration enables automated publishing, updates, and notifications by connecting your GHL data with the Zapier App Connector. It lets you create, update, and manage blog posts, authors, and categories from within Zapier workflows. This setup helps you streamline content workflows without manual data entry. You can trigger actions from your CMS and push updates to Blogs API or trigger downstream applications like email services.
Authenticate through Zapier by choosing the Blogs API service and linking your GHL account credentials. You’ll authorize access to the necessary scopes (such as blogs, emails, and authors). Once connected, Zapier stores a secure token for repeated use across workflows. Always follow the principle of least privilege and rotate tokens regularly for security.
Common endpoints include GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for content management, and GET /emails/builder for email templates. For emails, you’ll typically use POST /emails/builder to draft and POST /emails/builder/data to populate content, then GET /emails/schedule to queue sends. These endpoints cover publishing, updating, and notifications.
Yes. You can schedule email sends whenever a blog post publishes by creating an email draft with POST /emails/builder, populating content with POST /emails/builder/data, and scheduling with GET /emails/schedule. This allows automated distribution of new content to your audience.
In your Zapier mapping, align post fields like title, content, slug, excerpt, and author to corresponding fields in the Blogs API. You can also map categories and publish status. Thoughtful mappings ensure consistent data flow and accurate automation results.
Rate limits depend on your GHL API plan. If you anticipate high throughput, space requests across intervals and implement retries with backoff. Monitoring dashboards and alerts help you stay within limits while maintaining reliable automation.
Use Zapier’s test tool to simulate triggers and actions end-to-end before enabling live runs. Verify that blog post data flows correctly to Blogs API, emails are drafted or sent as expected, and updates propagate to downstream apps. Then monitor first live runs for any edge cases.
