How to connect Zapier App Connector to Blogs API (GHL)

Blogs API + Zapier App Connector: Quick start and best practices

Connecting Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector

This guide explains how to connect the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector within GHL. Learn about authentication, core endpoints, and practical workflows to automate blogging tasks without code.

Authentication for Blogs API

Use OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly to securely access blog data via GHL. Include the API token in headers where required and refresh tokens as needed.

Authentication for Zapier App Connector

In the Zapier App Connector, authorize the connection to the Blogs API and grant access to the needed endpoints such as blogs/post.write and GET /blogs/authors.

Core endpoints used in this integration

GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; POST /blogs/post-update; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors

Top 3 connection patterns for Blogs API + Zapier App Connector in GHL

1) Trigger-first workflows from emails builder events

Use triggers from GET emails/builder or GET emails/schedule to start automations when new templates are created or schedules update.

Create posts with POST /blogs/posts, update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and map categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.

Apply RESTful HTTP methods for each operation (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) as shown by the endpoints.

Map fields like postId, templateId, locationId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId

2) Slug-aware publishing and validation

Preflight slug checks with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates before publishing.

Publish with POST /blogs/posts; update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or POST /blogs/post-update; validate slug using blogs/check-slug.readonly.

Use reads for checks and writes for creates/updates; follow the endpoint methods provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate with the Blogs API via the Zapier App Connector?

Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 with the required scope emails/builder.readonly for read access to blogger data. In the Zapier App Connector, securely store the access token and refresh it as needed. For write operations, use the appropriate tokens or API keys as configured in the connection settings. Always include the token in the Authorization header when making requests to the Blogs API. In production, rotate credentials periodically to maintain security.

Begin with read endpoints to understand your data model, such as GET emails/builder and GET /blogs/categories. Then move to write endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. This approach minimizes errors and helps you map fields consistently.

Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug is already in use. If the slug exists, modify it or generate a new slug before attempting to publish. This prevents duplicate posts and preserves clean URLs.

Categories and authors are retrieved with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Map these IDs to your posts to ensure correct taxonomy and author attribution. This keeps content organized and improves searchability across channels.

Required fields typically include title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId. Depending on your workflow, you may also supply postId for updates and locationId for template associations. Ensure the data types and formats match the API expectations to avoid validation errors.

Endpoint details live in the Blogs API docs and are reflected in this page’s endpoint list. You can also view specific endpoint paths and methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) directly in your GHL developer portal or the Zapier App Connector guide.
