To authorize requests from airfocus to the Blogs API, use your API key and limit scope to the required permissions (Scope: emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
Grant access from airfocus to read and update blog content. Use a dedicated key and apply the principle of least privilege. Revoke access if the connection is no longer needed.
Important endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET emails/builder (read), POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly (GET), 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. These endpoints enable content and email workflows and blog lifecycle automation when connected to airfocus.
Trigger: a new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: map title, slug, and author to a new airfocus item; set due date and assign to editor; attach link to the post.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categories
Trigger: a blog post is updated in Blogs API.
Actions: fetch updated content and reflect changes in the corresponding airfocus item; update status and notes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, updatedFields
Trigger: draft post ready with a slug.
Actions: verify slug via Blogs API; if exists, block publish and prompt for a change.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug
Faster content workflows through automated data syncing and task creation.
Reduced manual errors from consistent data mapping and centralized status updates.
No-code automation lowers maintenance and speeds up publishing pipelines.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect Blogs API with airfocus.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action within an API.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title for clean, readable links.
A blog entry containing a title, content, and metadata such as author and category.
A mechanism for receiving real-time updates from another service via callbacks.
Automatically generate airfocus items when a new post is published to track topics, owners, and deadlines.
Mirror post updates back into airfocus so stakeholders see current content status and progress.
Use slug checks to prevent duplicates and ensure consistent publishing names.
Obtain a Blogs API key, set the scope to the required permissions (emails/builder.readonly), and securely store credentials.
Define how blog post fields (title, slug, author, categories) map to airfocus fields for consistent data flow.
Run tests, monitor logs, and flip the switch to enable automation once you’re confident the mappings are correct.
The connection between airfocus and the Blogs API lets you automate content tasks without manual switching between tools. It uses a dedicated API key with scoped permissions to secure data access. Follow the three steps above to configure authentication, map fields, and test the workflow. If you run into limits, adjust scopes or endpoints to fit your use case. In practice, start with a simple workflow such as creating an airfocus task when a new post is published, then expand to updates and checks as you gain confidence.
No heavy coding is required. This guide focuses on no-code or low-code automation using standard endpoints and field mappings. If you do need custom logic, you can add small scripts in your integration layer or use automation tools to handle exceptions. Always test in a sandbox before going live.
Common workflows typically involve creating posts, updating posts, and validating slugs. You’ll use endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to support publishing and maintenance. Mapping these endpoints to airfocus items keeps your content plan in sync.
Security comes from least-privilege access, key rotation, and encrypted connections. Use scoped API keys, restrict IPs if possible, and monitor usage. Airfocus should store credentials securely and never expose keys in public pages.
Yes. Use a staging or sandbox environment to verify data flows without impacting production content. Test all mappings, error handling, and retries. Once you’re satisfied with the results, migrate to production and update your credentials as needed.
Implement retries with exponential backoff and log errors for debugging. Use the API’s status codes to determine failures and provide meaningful messages in airfocus. Consider fallback paths for transient issues and alerting for sustained problems.
Logs and telemetry can be reviewed in both airfocus and the Blogs API platform. Look for request metrics, success rates, and failure details. Set up alerts for unusual patterns to catch problems early.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
