A secure flow that grants access to a third party app to perform actions on behalf of a user
A URL friendly string derived from the post title used in the post URL
The process of connecting form fields to blog post fields to transfer data automatically
Turn each form submission into a ready to edit blog draft in Blogs API
Use a publish date from the form or a scheduling queue to publish posts at a chosen time
Map a category or tag field to blog post taxonomy to automate tagging
In the GHL dashboard authorize the Blogs API and select Zoho Forms as the connected app
Create mappings from Zoho Forms fields to Blogs API post fields such as title content and slug
Submit a test form verify the blog post creation and then enable live automation
No code is required in most cases. The integration uses the GHL app builder to connect Zoho Forms to Blogs API with a simple trigger. You can customize mapping and logic in both apps to tailor post data before publishing.
For basic posting you will use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories. The exact endpoints depend on your workflow. You will typically map the form title content and slug to the corresponding blog post fields.
Yes you can map multiple form fields to blog fields. Use the field mapping settings in the GHL app to match names and data types for a smooth transfer.
Yes with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId you can update an existing post. Pass the correct postId and ensure you do not overwrite critical data unintentionally. Consider versioning for safety.
Authorization uses OAuth. You will grant the app scope and reauthorize when needed. Keep credentials secure and monitored for access.
Most integrations run in real time on submission but you can also configure a delay or queue to batch posts. This helps manage load and review.
Use the built in test mode in the GHL dashboard to simulate submissions and verify that posts are created correctly. Review logs and adjust mappings before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
