No coding is required for a basic setup. The integration is designed for no-code builders, using prebuilt endpoints to connect BoomTown with Blogs API. You can drag and drop actions to trigger emails or publish posts. If you do need custom logic, you can add simple conditional rules without writing code. For more advanced automations, you can extend with additional steps or webhooks to accommodate unique business rules.
A typical starter set includes: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Additionally, you may use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. As you scale, you can add POST emails/builder/data for dynamic content and POST /emails/builder to push new templates.
Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys, depending on your security policy. You will exchange credentials to obtain access tokens with the required scopes (emails/builder.readonly for reading and emails/builder.write for creating templates, etc.). Store tokens securely and rotate them per your security cadence, updating the connected app in the Zapier platform when needed.
Yes. You can schedule emails and blog posts using the respective scheduling endpoints. Create templates, then schedule sends or publish posts at your preferred times. This enables a consistent publishing cadence without manual steps. Combine with BoomTown triggers to automate timely campaigns aligned with lead activity.
Yes, API calls are subject to rate limits; the exact quotas depend on your plan. To maintain reliability, implement simple throttling and stagger requests during peak times. If you hit limits, spread requests over time or batch operations where supported by the endpoints to stay within quota.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
