Use secure API keys and OAuth scopes to authorize requests from Brandfolder to the Blogs API. Start by creating an API key with the appropriate scopes, then attach it to your requests.
Brandfolder authentication relies on API tokens or OAuth. Ensure your integration user has read and write access to assets and metadata used for posts.
Key endpoints cover blog creation, updates, slug checks, category and author listings, and related email templates. Examples include POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors, and GET emails/builder for template data.
Trigger: when a Brandfolder asset is approved or updated, create a new blog post.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts with title, slug, content pulled from asset metadata; attach featured image from Brandfolder.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, slug, content, excerpt, authorId, categoryId, imageId
Trigger: asset metadata changes or asset version updates
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content and metadata; refresh slug or featured image.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, imageId, tags
Trigger: asset readiness status changes to ready for publication
Actions: create or update blog posts and set status to published; map Brandfolder metadata to post fields.

No code is required to start linking Brandfolder with the Blogs API. Use the visual builder to connect Brandfolder assets to blog fields and set up basic triggers. This makes it easy to automate post creation without writing code. You can customize mappings to fit your publishing workflow and review content before going live.
Core endpoints used include creating posts with POST /blogs/posts, updating posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and listing categories or authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These endpoints enable end-to-end post creation, updates, and organization from Brandfolder data.
Map fields such as title, excerpt, and image to the corresponding blog post fields. Use the asset’s title for the post title and the Brandfolder image as the featured image. Validate the slug to avoid duplicates before publishing. Review the mapping in the workflow designer and test with a sample asset.
Use API keys with appropriate scopes or OAuth for Brandfolder and the Blogs API. Keep credentials secure and limit permissions to what is needed for the integration. Rotate keys regularly and monitor usage to detect anomalies.
Yes. You can preview content by using draft or staging paths and by inspecting the mapped fields before publishing. The workflow designer lets you simulate a run and verify the resulting post content and assets.
Enable logging and error handling in your workflow. Use retries with backoff for transient errors, and set up alerts for failures such as authentication issues or missing required fields. Validate inputs at every step to minimize failures.
Endpoint details are documented in the API reference for Blogs API. You can explore endpoints like /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories, /blogs/authors, and slug checks at /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to understand available operations.
