Establish a secure connection using API keys or OAuth 2.0 and authorize Basin to access Blogs API resources.
Grant Basin permission to call the Blogs API endpoints listed below and store credentials securely in your integration settings.
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder; Endpoint2: emails/builder.write; Endpoint3: POST emails/builder; Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data; Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly; Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule; Endpoint8: blogs/post.write; Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts; Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write; Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly; Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly; Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories; Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly; Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
Publishing a new blog post in Blogs API automatically queues related emails in Basin Email Builder.
Actions include generating email drafts for post announcements and updating subscribers on new content.
Typical use calls: POST /blogs/posts to create posts and POST /emails/builder/data to populate email content, then optional PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates.
postId, templateId, locationId, slug, authorId
Changing a blog category triggers updates to related email templates.
Auto tag and group newsletters by category, including category specific digests.
Use GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug safety.
categoryId, slug, templateGroupId
Adding or updating authors updates subscriber lists and author based segments.
Populate author lists in templates and schedule author focused digests.
Use GET /blogs/authors to fetch author data and GET /blogs/posts to tie posts to authors.
authorId, postId, emailTemplateId
Build complex blog to email automations without writing code.
Keep blog content and campaigns in sync with real time or scheduled updates.
Visual workflow mapping lets you connect endpoints to triggers and actions with click and drag.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, data fields, and the flow of information between Blogs API and Basin.
A standard interface that lets apps communicate and exchange data.
A URL friendly identifier derived from the post title used in URLs and slug checks.
A specific API function exposed to perform a defined operation.
Permission granted to access resources usually via API keys or OAuth credentials.
When a new post is created in Blogs API, Basin automatically creates an email draft and schedules it for delivery to subscribers.
Group posts by category and generate category specific digests for subscribers interested in those topics.
Pull author data from Blogs API to build personalized newsletters that highlight author contributions.
Obtain API keys or OAuth credentials from the Blogs API developer console and securely store them in Basin.
Enable the necessary endpoints such as blogs/posts and emails/builder and set up data mappings between fields.
Run test calls, validate data flow, and deploy your integration once everything passes.
No code is required to connect Basin with Blogs API. The platform provides visual mappings and ready endpoints to link blog data to email campaigns. Use triggers like new posts or category changes to automate actions without writing scripts. You can adjust mappings in the integration settings to fit your workflow. You can also duplicate successful configurations and reuse them for new blogs or newsletters, speeding up deployment across multiple domains.
For a basic blog to email automation you typically need endpoints for blogs posts, blog categories, and the emails builder. Mapping post fields to email templates lets you generate announcements, digests, and newsletters automatically. You can extend with author data and slug checks to enrich content targeting. The no code editor handles field alignment and transformations so data flows cleanly from Blogs API to Basin email campaigns.
Yes. You can tailor email content based on category or author by routing posts to specific templates and segments. Category based digests and author spotlight blocks are common patterns. Data fields like categoryId and authorId drive the dynamic sections in your emails. This personalization enhances engagement and keeps readers connected to the topics they care about.
Yes, you can run test calls before going live. Use sandbox or test posts and email drafts to verify data flows and template rendering. Review mappings, test with multiple categories and authors, and confirm that triggers fire and emails populate correctly. Once tests pass, you can deploy the integration to production with confidence.
If a post slug exists, the blogs check slug endpoint helps prevent duplicates. You can either adjust the slug or create a new version of the post. The slug existence check ensures clean URLs and avoids conflicts in routing. In many setups you can also automate slug regeneration if a collision is detected, keeping content delivery smooth.
Integration health is typically shown in a dedicated logs or activity dashboard that includes endpoint status, recent triggers, and failed requests. You can configure webhooks and alerts to notify you of errors. Regular review of run histories helps identify bottlenecks and optimize data mappings for reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
