To securely access the Blogs API from GHL, configure OAuth 2.0 or API credentials, and use scoped tokens to limit access to needed endpoints.
Authenticate Ziflow with the Blogs API via GHL by exchanging tokens and storing them securely in your Zapier App Connector configuration.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and more for full lifecycle management.
Trigger: When a Ziflow draft is approved, create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts. This streamlines content publishing.
Actions: Create, update, and enrich posts with title, content, slug, author, and category using endpoints 9-17.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId
Trigger: When a Ziflow draft is updated, sync via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: Update title, body, slug, and metadata; ensure consistency with authors and categories.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate author and category metadata for posts.
Actions: Retrieve authors and categories to enrich posts in Ziflow and set default mappings.
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, categoryId
Automate publishing workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual steps.
Keep content synchronized across Ziflow and your blog database with real-time updates.
Centralize metadata like authors and categories to improve search and organization.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and field mappings used to automate the blog workflow.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that enables software components to communicate.
A specific URL path that performs an action in an API.
An event that starts an automation in a workflow.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to API resources.
When a Ziflow draft is approved, automatically generate a blog post through the Blogs API and publish on your site.
Pull author and category metadata from the GHL endpoints to enrich your blog posts.
Coordinate release times by scheduling posts from Ziflow through the Blogs API.
Register the Blogs API in GHL and obtain credentials (client_id and client_secret).
Connect Ziflow fields to blog fields like title, content, slug, author, and category.
Run tests, verify data flows, and deploy your automation to production.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to blog management tasks such as creating posts, updating content, and managing categories and authors. When used with GHL and Ziflow, you can automate the end-to-end publishing workflow without manual steps. This is ideal for teams that publish frequently and want consistent metadata handling.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate metadata. For draft management, you may use GET emails/builder to fetch draft data if you’re coordinating email content with posts.
No-code automation is possible through GHL and your Zapier App Connector by configuring triggers and actions that call the appropriate endpoints. You can map fields without writing code and test in a sandbox environment before production.
Use OAuth 2.0 or API tokens with scoped permissions. Store credentials securely, rotate them regularly, and follow least-privilege access to protect your data across GHL, Blogs API, and Ziflow.
Yes. You can map authorId and categoryId using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate dropdowns and automatically assign metadata to new posts.
Test with sample drafts and verify that the post data, metadata, and status flow as expected. Use mock data and sandbox environments before deploying to production.
Rate limits and best practices are documented in the API guide. Implement exponential backoff, cache author and category lookups, and monitor API usage to prevent throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
