Access to the Blogs API is secured with OAuth 2.0. In your integration, request the necessary scopes and test the connection. The sample scope shown is emails/builder.readonly to illustrate permission boundaries. Ensure you request the proper scope for your blog tasks and refresh tokens automatically.
Zapier uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to your Blogs API instance. After authorizing, Zapier stores tokens securely and handles request signing.

Trigger: New post draft or import triggers tagging workflow
Actions: List authors and categories and map to posts

Automate blogging workflows without writing code, saving hours each week.
Centralized, visual workflow design for triggers and actions.
Reliable publishing with built in retries and error notifications.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
GHL is the API namespace used to access the platform features through code and automation.
API stands for Application Programming Interface — the set of rules that lets apps talk to each other.
AUTH refers to authentication credentials and methods that secure API access.
WEBHOOK is a way for apps to notify each other in real time when events occur.
Turn incoming emails into blog drafts with titles and content ready to publish.
Automatically map authors and categories from your data sources when creating posts.
Publish posts and share summaries to newsletters or social channels via Zapier actions.
Set up OAuth 2.0, authorize the Blogs API in Zapier, and test the connection.
Choose triggers like new post drafts or updates and map actions to create or update posts.
Map required fields such as title, content, and slug and run tests to verify data integrity.
Blogs API exposes endpoints to manage blog content, categories, and authors within the GHL platform. When used with the Zapier App Connector, you can automate post creation from emails, schedule publishing, and keep your content in sync. Zapier acts as the bridge, handling authentication and workflow orchestration so you can focus on content strategy.
No advanced coding is required to set up typical workflows in Zapier. With triggers, actions, and field mappings you can automate many tasks without writing code. If you need to customize beyond the built in actions, consult the endpoint docs for required fields and formats.
Common endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for creating content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, GET /blogs/authors for author data, and GET /blogs/categories for taxonomy. Slug checks like blogs/check-slug.readonly and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help prevent duplicates.
Yes, you can map custom fields such as slug, authorId, and categoryId in your Zapier actions. This ensures the generated posts carry the exact metadata you need. Field mapping is done in the action step of your Zap.
Zapier App Connector includes retry logic and error notifications to handle transient failures. Use idempotent design by using unique slugs or identifiers for posts to avoid duplicates across retries.
Security is handled by OAuth 2.0 in both platforms and all requests use HTTPS. Tokens are refreshed automatically and stored securely to minimize risk.
Developer docs for the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector are available in the GHL docs and Zapier platform docs. Look for endpoint references, auth guides, and example workflows to speed up integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
