To use the Blogs API with Asana, generate an API key or OAuth token from your Blogs API dashboard, keep it secure, and include it in your requests as a Bearer token.
Authenticate Asana with OAuth 2.0 or a Personal Access Token to securely connect to external apps like Blogs API.
Key endpoints you may use in this integration include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/posts (for reference). Focused endpoints for blogging workflows are POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure clean slugs; you can also retrieve categories and authors as needed.
Trigger: A new task labeled for blog content is created in Asana.
Action: Use POST /blogs/posts to create a new blog post with the task details.
Endpoint: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author, published date, tags.
Trigger: A blog post in Blogs API is updated.
Action: Update the corresponding Asana task with status and notes.
Endpoint: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, title, content, status, lastEdited.
Trigger: Draft post created in Asana.
Action: Check slug availability via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and pull categories/authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Endpoint: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Fields: slug, postId, categories, authors.
Automate content workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual errors.
Maintain a single source of truth by syncing editorial calendars between Asana and your blog system.
Accelerate approvals with clear tasks, comments, and automated post publishing.
Key elements include APIs, authentication, endpoints, and data mapping; processes cover authentication setup, mapping fields, and testing.
An interface that allows software components to communicate with each other.
A URL-friendly identifier used in a blog post URL.
A lightweight event notification mechanism enabling real-time updates between apps.
An open standard for token-based authorization that grants limited access to resources.
Create blog drafts automatically when milestone tasks are completed in Asana and attach related files.
Sync dates from Asana to blog post publishing schedule without duplication.
Route drafts for review via Asana comments and approvals, then publish.
Obtain a Blogs API key and configure your Asana OAuth client.
Create triggers in Asana for new tasks and map actions to blog creation or updates.
Test the workflow end-to-end, then deploy to production with monitoring.
No advanced coding skills are required; you can set up via guided UI and standardized endpoints. If you are comfortable with OAuth and API keys, you can customize mappings for your workflow. This is ideal for marketers and admins seeking repeatable, scalable automation without bespoke development.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. You may also fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints support typical blogging workflows from draft to publish.
Authenticate both apps using OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Store tokens securely, rotate them regularly, and use scope restrictions to limit access. Use secure vaults or credential managers and follow least-privilege principles for best security.
Yes. Use PUT to update and DELETE where applicable, and ensure you handle proper error responses from the API. Best practices include idempotent updates, confirming post status, and logging any failed retries.
Slug checks are performed with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure uniqueness before publishing. Keep a naming convention to minimize conflicts and streamline automation.
Yes. Rate limits vary by endpoint; monitor quota and implement exponential backoff on 429 responses. Consider batching requests where possible and caching slug checks when appropriate.
When errors occur, review API responses for codes and messages, retry with backoff, and implement fallback workflows. Set up alerts for failures to maintain publishing reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
