The Blogs API in GHL exposes endpoints to create, read, update, and delete blog posts, authors, categories, and email templates, enabling automation via Zapier Interfaces. You can trigger from new content and perform actions to publish or update posts. Ensure proper authentication and respect rate limits.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys with appropriate scopes; in Zapier, connect the Blogs API by selecting the connected app and granting access, then test the connection.
To publish content, use POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; you can also check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before posting.
Yes, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists checks slug availability. If it exists, adjust the slug or update the existing post.
Yes, you can schedule posts by including a publish date in the post payload or by using dedicated scheduling endpoints in the Blogs API via Zapier.
Map authorId to the blogs/authors endpoint and categoryIds to blogs/categories by pulling lists from those endpoints and wiring IDs into your post payload.
Zapier task history and API response details provide error messages; enable retries and review rate limits and quotas in your GHL and Zapier accounts.
