Authenticate your Blogs API connection using your API keys or OAuth credentials to securely access endpoints such as emails and blogs.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 and API keys to securely connect to Blogs API, enabling triggers and actions without exposing credentials.
Core endpoints include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors.
When a new post is created in Blogs API, Zapier can start a workflow.
Actions: Create or update posts, manage categories, and publish across channels using endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug
When an existing post is updated in Blogs API, Zapier can react.
Actions: Update post content, slug, or category using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and related endpoints such as blogs/post-update.write.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
When a category is added or updated via Blogs API, Zapier can sync it.
Actions: Fetch and map categories using GET /blogs/categories and validate slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name, slug
No coding required—build powerful automations with clicks, not code.
Faster publishing, updates, and scheduling across emails and blogs.
Unified automation that coordinates content and communications in one place.
A quick glossary of the elements and processes you’ll use when connecting Blogs API with Zapier App Connector: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
An API is a set of rules that allows software applications to communicate and exchange data.
An event in Blogs API that starts a Zap in Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL on Blogs API that performs an action or returns data.
A URL-friendly identifier used to reference a blog post in URLs and checks.
Publish new posts automatically to connected social channels when you create a blog post.
Sync upcoming posts with your team’s calendar and reminders via Zapier tasks.
Auto-assign tags, meta descriptions, and slugs based on content analysis.
Log in to your Blogs API account and grant access to Zapier App Connector.
Select endpoints like blogs/posts and blogs/categories to drive automation.
Run tests in Zapier to verify data flows and then deploy.
Blogs API supports API key-based and OAuth 2.0 authentication, allowing secure connections from Zapier App Connector. You can choose the method that best fits your security posture and workflow needs. Ensure your credentials are kept secret and rotate keys as recommended. In most setups, OAuth 2.0 provides a smoother, token-based authentication flow that doesn’t require storing long-lived credentials in Zapier. This minimizes risk while enabling reliable triggers and actions.
Begin with core content endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/categories to fetch category data. These provide the essential building blocks for most blog automation flows. As you grow, add endpoints like PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing.
Yes. You can automate posting, updating, and publishing workflows. For example, create posts in Blogs API via Zapier, then publish them or update metadata automatically across connected channels. Use the post-update endpoint and slug checks to ensure consistency and avoid duplicates as part of your Zap workflows.
Basic automation is accessible to non-developers via Zapier’s visual builder. You’ll configure triggers, actions, and data mappings without writing code. Some familiarity with API concepts helps, but the platform guides you through setup with templates.
Use Zapier’s test flows to validate each step. Run a test post to confirm data is created, then verify subsequent steps such as updates or category syncing. Zapier will show data mappings and errors if any fields are missing or invalid.
Commonly synced data includes blog posts (title, content, slug, author, category), categories, authors, and scheduling data. Endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/posts drive what you can automate, and you can tailor mappings to your needs.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Rate limits depend on the Blogs API plan you use; plan accordingly and implement retries in Zapier to handle temporary throttling. Always test changes in a sandbox or staging environment first.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
