Use an API key or OAuth credentials with the required scope emails/builder.readonly to securely access blog data via the Zapier App Connector.

Key endpoints used in this integration include: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and related blog data calls.
Trigger: A new approved content brief in your CMS triggers creation of a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: Map title, content, slug, category, and publishDate; call POST /blogs/posts; optionally update with PUT.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, excerpt, publishDate
Trigger: Scheduled or on-demand sync to fetch latest /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors.
Actions: Retrieve and map categories and authors; store IDs and names in your app; keep mappings up to date.
Method path: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
Fields: id, name, slug
Trigger: Before publishing, verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.

No coding required—connectors and triggers let you automate content workflows in minutes.
Automate publishing, updates, and categorization across charity websites and blogs.
Use a visual workflow builder to coordinate teams without developers.
This section covers API concepts, endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and how the Blogs API connects with the Zapier App Connector to automate charity blog workflows.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software components interact.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used to create readable, SEO-friendly links.
Ways to securely authorize access to the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action, such as creating or fetching posts.
Automatically generate blog posts from CRM data when campaigns end and publish to your site.
Schedule posts based on campaign timelines and donor activity.
Publish the same post to multiple channels from one workflow.
In Blogs API, generate API key or OAuth credentials and configure in Zapier.
Run a test to ensure endpoints like /blogs/categories and /blogs/posts respond correctly.
Create a sample Zap to publish a post when a form is submitted or a campaign launches.
The Blogs API lets you manage charity blog content, posts, categories, and authors from your own systems via secure API calls. When connected to Zapier App Connector, you can automate post creation and updates without writing code. The combination enables you to push briefs into posts and keep sections mapped to your CMS fields.
You can access endpoints for blog posts, categories, and authors, including GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier provides a pre-built connector and simple field mapping to connect Blogs API to your charity site. When needed, light scripting can be used for custom mappings.
The recommended scope in the CSV is emails/builder.readonly, and you’ll authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens configured in your Zapier connection to control access.
To avoid duplicate slugs, use the slug-check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating posts, and implement deterministic slug generation based on the post title.
Map fields like title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId from the Blogs API to your CMS fields in Zapier, using a simple mapping in your Zap.
Zapier logs and error handling provide troubleshooting details. Check task history in Zapier and any API response messages from Blogs API for root causes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
