Authenticate requests with your GHL API key (scope: emails/builder.readonly). Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer
Zid uses the same API credentials. Ensure Zid is authorized in your GHL developer console and that the connected app has the needed scopes for reading emails and managing posts.
Key endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new draft is saved in Zid, create a post in the Blogs API.
Actions: Publish, update metadata, schedule publish.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId
Trigger: Zid checks slug existence and pulls post data without writing.
Actions: fetch post data, verify status, queue scheduling.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, postId, status
Trigger: Zid updates categories and authors; Blogs API mirrors changes.
Actions: sync lists, refresh mappings.
GET /blogs/categories
Key fields: categoryId, authorId, name
Faster content automation with drag-and-drop workflows and templates.
Better data consistency across apps with centralized endpoints.
Lower maintenance with fewer custom integrations.
This glossary defines API terms and the core processes for connecting Zid and the Blogs API, including keys, endpoints, slugs, and authentication.
A unique token used to authenticate requests to the GHL Blogs API.
A specific URL path for an API operation.
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title.
Process to verify identity and authorize access to resources.
Automatically push new Zid drafts into the Blogs API as scheduled posts to save time.
Trigger email notifications when posts are updated or published.
Check and correct slugs automatically to improve search visibility.
Request API keys with the required scopes and test in a sandbox.
Set up read/write endpoints for emails and blogs in Zid.
Run validations, monitor logs, and refine automations.
The Blogs API and Zid integration lets you create, edit, and schedule blog posts while managing related emails from a single workflow. It enables automated content publishing and email notifications to keep teams aligned. Two-way data sync reduces manual updates and speeds up publishing. Explore endpoints for posts, emails, and categories to design robust automations that fit your editorial process.
Yes. You can set up many integrations with little to no code using templates and automation builders. For more complex flows, you can add small scripts or use webhooks. Start with the no-code templates and expand as needed. As you grow, you can add custom logic to handle edge cases and error handling.
Start with read operations to understand data structures (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Then move to write endpoints (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) to publish and update content. Test each step in a sandbox before going live to ensure data maps correctly and automation behaves as expected.
Use a secure API key with restricted scopes and rotate credentials regularly. Always pass the key in the Authorization header as Bearer
Yes. Scheduling posts can be automated via the Blogs API when a Zid trigger occurs (for example, draft complete or approval). Use the scheduling endpoints to queue publication times and space out posts. Combine with email templates to notify teams when posts go live or require review.
Slug existence is checked with endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Validate the slug before publishing to avoid duplicates and improve SEO. If a slug exists, you can generate a new one or modify the title to produce a unique slug automatically.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal. It covers authentication, available endpoints, and example requests. Review the docs for best practices on scopes, rate limits, and error handling to build reliable automations.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
