Use OAuth 2.0 with the required scope emails/builder.readonly to access blog data such as posts, categories, and authors
In the Zapier App Connector, configure OAuth 2.0 credentials and request the same scope so your app can securely invoke the Blogs API
– GET emails/builder; – POST emails/builder; – POST /emails/builder/data; – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; – GET emails/schedule; – POST /blogs/posts; – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; – GET /blogs/check-slug; – GET /blogs/categories; – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API and appears in the feed for publishing
Actions include publishing the post via POST /blogs/posts, updating via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and validating the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Triggers use GET /blogs/posts (poll for new items); actions use POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger when a post is updated in Zapier and needs syncing to Blogs API
Actions include updating the post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and revalidating slug if needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content, categoryId, authorId
Trigger a slug check prior to publish to ensure uniqueness
Action uses GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
No coding required to automate blog publishing and content updates across apps
Faster time to publish with reusable workflows and triggers
Consistent data across platforms with centralized controls
A concise glossary to help you understand the terms used when connecting the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector
A specific URL and HTTP method exposed by the API to perform an action
A URL friendly identifier used to reference a blog post
A piece of content published under the Blogs API
Entities that classify posts and attribute authors
Create a Zap that posts draft content to the Blogs API when your team approves it, then publish and share automatically
Route new posts through a review step and publish to the Blogs API only after approval
Send summary dashboards to Slack or email when new posts are published or updated
Create a Zapier App Connector connection to the Blogs API by authenticating with OAuth 2.0 and approving the required scope
Set up triggers for new posts and actions to publish updates using the provided blog endpoints
Run tests to verify slug checks and post creation, then enable the workflow in production
Both sides use OAuth 2.0 tokens. The Blogs API requires a valid access token with scope emails/builder.readonly to read blog data. The Zapier App Connector stores credentials securely and refreshes tokens automatically. Follow the setup wizard to grant access and test endpoints such as GET /blogs/categories to confirm connectivity.
The core endpoints are POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. You can also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. For metadata, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors are helpful.
Yes you can with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and by passing the slug parameter. If the slug already exists, adjust it and retry until you obtain a unique slug.
Use GET /blogs/authors for authors and GET /blogs/categories for categories. Cache results in Zapier where appropriate to reduce calls and improve performance.
No heavy coding is required. Zapier App Connector provides a no code UI to map triggers and actions. For advanced needs you can extend with lightweight logic or webhooks.
Store credentials securely in Zapier, rotate tokens regularly, and apply least privilege with scopes. Monitor logs and use secure webhooks where possible.
