To connect, you will generate and manage API credentials in the Blogs API admin panel, then authorize the connection in AppFollow.
AppFollow uses OAuth 2.0 plus an API key for access. During setup, you will grant the Blogs API scope and authorize the connection.
Primary endpoints used in this integration include:\nGET emails/builder\nGET emails/builder.write\nPOST emails/builder\nPOST /emails/builder/data\nDELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId\nemails/schedule.readonly\nGET emails/schedule\nblogs/post.write\nPOST /blogs/posts\nblogs/post-update.write\nPUT /blogs/posts/:postId\nblogs/check-slug.readonly\nGET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists\nblogs/category.readonly\nGET /blogs/categories\nblogs/author.readonly\nGET /blogs/authors

The Blogs API scope typically includes permissions to read and write blog content (for example, blogs.post.write and blogs.post.update) and may include access to authors and categories. During OAuth setup, you’ll select the exact scopes you want AppFollow to use. If you don’t see the required scopes, contact your Blogs API admin to enable them.\nKeep your credentials secure and rotate secrets regularly to maintain security. Reauthorize if you suspect any credential compromise.
Yes. You can filter or map which posts should sync by using fields like slug, postId, and publishDate. In AppFollow, configure your mapping to include only posts that meet your criteria (e.g., publishDate in the future or posts with specific tags). You can also disable syncing for certain categories or authors.\nThis helps keep content aligned with your editorial calendar and avoids duplications.
If you encounter authorization failures, start by reauthorizing the connection and verifying the redirect URL. Check that the client ID and secret are correct, and confirm the requested scopes match what AppFollow needs. If errors persist, review the integration logs in AppFollow and consult the Blogs API admin to verify that your app is allowed to access the requested endpoints.\nEnsure there are no IP allowlist restrictions or expired tokens, then retry the OAuth flow.
At minimum, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to publish content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. To prevent slug conflicts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps validate slugs before publishing. You may also pull metadata with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate post fields.\nThese endpoints support the core publishing flow and content management.
Yes. Webhook-style notifications can be used to alert AppFollow of blog events such as new posts or updates. Configure the Blogs API to notify AppFollow when events occur, and configure AppFollow to react (e.g., trigger distributions, update calendars, or alert teams).\nWebhooks enable near real-time synchronization without manual checks and improve responsiveness.
Scheduling is supported by using a publish date field and AppFollow’s calendar integration. You can plan posts in Blogs API and have AppFollow trigger the distribution and social updates at the scheduled time.\nThis helps maintain a consistent posting cadence across your channels without manual intervention.
AppFollow provides a centralized view of integration activity in the dashboard, including successful syncs and errors. You can also pull logs via API endpoints or access related metrics in the reporting sections. If you need deeper diagnostics, enable verbose logging or contact support to review specific error codes and timestamps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
