To connect, obtain an API key from the Blogs API and grant the requested scope. The example scope used here is emails/builder.readonly for safe testing, but you can request broader access as needed.
Authorize ZenMaid to access the GHL connection and receive callbacks. Follow your platform’s app installation steps to complete the link.

A subset of the GHL API focused on creating and managing blog content, posts, categories, and authors
ZenMaid is the app receiving data from GHL via the Blogs API connector to automate client communications
Slug is the URL friendly version of a blog title used in endpoints and routing
Set up an automation that publishes new posts and immediately sends a summary to subscribers via ZenMaid email templates
Connect category changes to targeted campaigns so clients receive relevant updates and promotions
Create author specific newsletters that highlight new posts and author profiles
Start by creating a secure connection and granting the necessary scopes for posts and emails
Define how blog fields map to ZenMaid fields including title, content, and publish date
Assemble a workflow that creates posts, sends emails, and schedules follow ups
The integration is designed for no code users with templates and drag and drop automation. If you need more control, you can extend it with simple HTTP calls or a middleware tool.
Start with essential endpoints for posts, lists, and emails and align them to your ZenMaid workflow. Expand gradually to include categories and authors.
Use the slug check endpoint to ensure uniqueness before creation. If a slug exists, adjust the title or slug in your workflow and retry.
Yes, you can automate email campaigns triggered by publish events. Use emails builder and scheduling endpoints to orchestrate the delivery.
Required fields typically include title, content, and author or category. Slug and publishDate help with routing and scheduling.
Verify your API key and ensure the scope matches the endpoints you call. If issues persist, check logs and retry after a short interval.
API rate limits vary by plan; consult the provider docs for quotas. If you hit limits, implement backoff and batching.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
