No code is required for standard flows. The connectors provide drag and drop triggers and actions. If you need advanced customization you can add optional scripting or use webhooks to extend behavior. For most teams a no code setup covers 80 percent of use cases, while seasoned users can layer in custom logic when needed.
Commonly used endpoints include creating and updating posts, slug checks, and retrieving authors and categories. These endpoints enable you to publish content from Blueshift and manage taxonomy from the Blogs API. Use POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure uniqueness.

Yes, always test in a sandbox or staging environment before going live. Use dummy data to validate endpoints, mappings, and error handling, then gradually promote to production. Review logs and responses to confirm expected results before enabling live publishing.
Logs are available in Blueshift and in the Blogs API dashboard. Enable end to end tracing for triggers and actions and set up alerts for failures. Review historical runs to diagnose intermittent issues and optimize mappings.
