Authenticate requests from Zapier using your GHL API credentials. Use API keys or OAuth 2.0 where available, and limit scope to the endpoints you’ll use (for example: blogs and emails).
Zapier securely stores and uses access tokens to authorize calls to GHL. You’ll create a connection in Zapier, then select the connected GHL account when building workflows.

This section defines the essential elements and the processes you’ll use to connect GHL Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface that allows software to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a function, such as creating or updating a post.
A URL-friendly identifier used to reference a blog post in links and SEO.
An authorization framework that enables tokens to access resources securely without sharing passwords.
Automatically pull content from your CMS and publish to Blogs API on a schedule or trigger.
Repurpose existing posts to social, email, and other channels via Zapier actions.
Ensure slug, meta title, and meta description fields are populated for better search performance.
Create your GHL connection and authorize Zapier App Connector to access your Blogs API resources.
Select and map the endpoints you’ll use in Zapier, such as creating or updating posts and checking slugs.
Run tests, validate data mappings, and enable automated workflows in production.
The Blogs API lets you manage blog content in GHL from external apps. Using the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger post creation, updates, and slug checks directly from your workflows, reducing manual data entry and keeping content in sync across systems. Map fields precisely (title, content, slug, category, author) to ensure posts publish with correct SEO and structure.
Endpoints cover creation, updates, slug checks, and retrieval of categories and authors. For example, create posts with POST /blogs/posts, update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and verify slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate reference data.
Yes. Before publishing, check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and handle conflicts by adjusting the title or slug. You can add a conditional step in Zapier to avoid duplicates.
Authentication is handled by connecting your GHL account to Zapier. Use API tokens or OAuth 2.0 where supported, and let Zapier pass scoped tokens with each request to GHL.
Scheduling is possible by adding a delay or using Zapier’s scheduling tools in your workflow. The Blogs API supports create and update actions, which you can trigger according to your publishing calendar.
Include slug, meta title, and meta description when creating posts. Map these fields in Zapier so your content remains SEO-friendly across platforms.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. To improve reliability, stagger requests, batch updates where possible, and implement retries with backoff in your Zapier workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
