Use your Blogs API key with the required scope to access posts categories and authors. Verify the connection with a test request before going live.
Authorize Appointedd to access your Blogs API resources using OAuth or an API key. Ensure the app has permissions to read and write posts and to fetch categories and authors.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, etc.
Trigger: a new booking is created in Appointedd.
Actions: create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts attach booking details and schedule publish.
Endpoint: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title content bookingId postDate
Trigger: an appointment is confirmed in Appointedd.
Actions: update the relevant blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with booking details and schedule.
Endpoint: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId content scheduleDate
Trigger: a new promotion or event is created in Appointedd.
Actions: fetch or create blog categories and post content mapped to blogs via GET /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/posts
Endpoint: GET /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: categoryId name postContent tag
Automate content from bookings without writing code using triggers and actions.
Keep blog content fresh with real time event data updates.
Consolidate marketing by linking posts to Appointedd campaigns and schedules.
This section defines essential elements and processes for integrating the Blogs API with Appointedd.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets apps communicate and exchange data.
A URL friendly string used to identify a blog post.
A callback that notifies apps when a specific event occurs.
A published article stored in the Blogs API.
Turn new bookings into draft blog posts with scheduled publishing.
Append reminder content to existing posts as updates.
Route events to relevant blog categories to target audiences.
Get API keys for the Blogs API and authorize Appointedd to use them within the required scope.
Define mappings for title content and scheduling using post fields.
Run tests monitor responses and enable automation for live use.
There are multiple endpoints you can leverage depending on the workflow. Core blog endpoints include GET /blogs/posts for retrieving posts, POST /blogs/posts for creating new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. You can also manage categories with GET /blogs/categories and retrieve authors with GET /blogs/authors. For appointment driven automation you may also use emails endpoints such as GET emails/builder and POST /emails/builder to craft related communications. This allows you to coordinate blog content with booking data without leaving the platform.
Permissions are determined by the API key scope. For Blogs API, ensure the key has write access to posts and categories and read access where appropriate. In Appointedd you will need authorization to access and modify blog posts and related resources. Always test with a restricted sandbox key to validate permissions before moving to production.
Yes. You can map posts to multiple blogs or categories by using the GET /blogs/categories to pull categories and POST /blogs/posts to publish content under a chosen category. Ensure post payload includes categoryId or category name and use multiple POST requests as needed. This enables campaigns that target different audiences across several blogs.
Slug conflicts can occur if two posts share the same slug. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. If a conflict exists, modify the title or slug and retry. Implement a small retry loop to resolve conflicts automatically.
When errors occur you should inspect HTTP status codes and error messages from the API. Implement retries with exponential backoff for 5xx server errors and limit retry counts for 4xx client errors. Log failures and include context such as postId bookingId and endpoint called to aid debugging.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan your automation with sensible batching and caching where possible. If you hit a limit, back off and retry after a short delay. Consider scheduling frequent lightweight checks rather than constant polling to stay within limits.
To test the connection start with a sandbox API key and a small dataset. Validate authentication, then run a few end-to-end flows from a test booking to a draft post, then to published post. Use sample data for titles contents and scheduling times to ensure the workflow behaves as expected before going live.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
