Authenticate your Blogs API integration in GHL by generating an API key or OAuth token and attaching it to requests within Zapier. Ensure you grant the needed scopes to read and write blog data.
In Zapier, create a secure connection for the Zapier App Connector to talk to GHL’s Blogs API. Use OAuth 2.0 where supported and store credentials securely in Zapier’s connection settings.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for posts, categories, authors, and slug checks, plus related utility endpoints. Below is a high‑level view of common endpoints used in automation with Zapier App Connector.
Trigger: New blog post draft created in your CMS or via Zapier with POST /blogs/posts. Action: Publish or schedule through PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: create, update, and delete posts; assign categories; manage authors.
Method Path: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug.
Key fields: title, content, slug, status, authorId, categoryIds, publishedAt.
Trigger: When creating a post, verify slug using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: validate slug; abort if exists; proceed if unique.
Method Path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
Trigger: When composing a post, fetch available authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Actions: map post metadata to author and category IDs.
Method Path: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: authorId, categoryIds
Benefit: Build automated publishing workflows without coding; connect to CMSs and marketing stacks.
Benefit: Schedule, update, and publish posts across platforms in minutes.
Benefit: Centralized content management with consistent metadata.
Key elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and mappings between post fields and GHL data.
A blog entry containing title, content, slug, metadata, and publishing status.
URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used to access the post.
The person who wrote or is responsible for the blog post.
A taxonomy grouping posts for organization and navigation.
Create a Zap that posts new blogs to social networks when status changes to published.
Automatically add new posts to a weekly newsletter list via email endpoint.
Validate slug uniqueness and update metadata to improve SEO.
Generate credentials in GHL, connect them in Zapier, and test the connection.
Map blog fields (title, content, slug, author, category) between your CMS and GHL.
Set up a Zap that triggers on new posts and performs create/update using POST/PUT endpoints.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints enable creating, updating, validating, and organizing blog content via Zapier. You can chain multiple endpoints in a single Zap to automate end-to-end workflows from draft to published post. Use the endpoint list in your Zapier app connector to quickly map triggers to actions and ensure data fields align with your CMS.
No coding is required to use the Zapier App Connector with the Blogs API. Zapier provides a no-code interface to configure connections, triggers, and actions that call the Blogs API endpoints. You can build multi-step automations, test them in real time, and deploy across teams without writing server code. For advanced needs, you can insert custom filters and conditions within Zapier to refine when actions run.
Authentication is set up by creating a secure connection in Zapier that references your GHL Blogs API credentials. Depending on your setup, you may use OAuth 2.0 or an API key and attach it to requests. Test the connection to confirm that Zapier can read and write blog data. Store credentials securely in Zapier’s connection settings. If the connection fails, verify the token scope and ensure the API key is active and not expired.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
