Authenticate the Blogs API using your API credentials with the required scope: emails/builder.readonly. Use secure storage for keys and rotate credentials regularly.
Authenticate Affinda to connect with Blogs API by creating an app in the platform and obtaining client credentials or an API key as required. Keep credentials confidential.

Automate content workflows without custom code using standard actions and triggers.
Faster time-to-value by reusing existing endpoints and data fields.
Easier maintenance with centralized auth and versioned endpoints.
This section defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and field mappings that power the Affinda–Blogs API integration.
A specific URL and method combination that allows reading or modifying data in Blogs API.
The process of proving identity and granting access to the Blogs API and Affinda integration.
An event that starts an automated workflow, such as a new blog post or schedule change.
A URL-friendly version of a blog post title used for linking and SEO.
Use Affinda to extract content ideas and metadata, then publish drafts via Blogs API.
Keep author and category mappings synchronized between systems for accurate attribution.
Validate and optimize slugs before publishing to improve SEO across platforms.
Register the Affinda app and obtain API credentials; configure scopes and endpoints.
Use OAuth or API key-based auth to authorize; run test calls to confirm connectivity.
Define field mappings (title, content, author, slug) and set triggers/actions.
Yes—you will typically need proper permissions and API credentials to securely connect. Ensure your account has the necessary scopes and follow Best Practices for credential management. In many cases, you can use a no-code integration builder to set up read-only access where appropriate. If you’re unsure which permissions are required, start with the least-privilege principle and request additional access only as needed.
For a basic sync, you’ll commonly use GET emails/builder (read), POST /blogs/posts (create), and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (validate slug). You can also use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich data. Start with these, then add write endpoints as your workflow needs grow.
Use the GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists endpoint to verify slug availability before publishing. Combine with a slug-generation rule to ensure SEO-friendly URLs.
Yes. Schedule-based triggers from Blogs API or Affinda’s scheduler can automate posting times. Map publishDate or similar fields to trigger sends or publications at your desired cadence.
When an endpoint returns an error, review the HTTP status, error message, and any response details. Implement retries with exponential backoff and guard conditions to prevent repeated failures.
Yes. Most no-code platforms provide test calls or sandbox environments. Use those to validate authentication, endpoints, and data mappings before going live.
No. You can build and test all flows using no-code tools. You may need to add custom scripts in some advanced cases, but the core integration can be done without coding.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
