Blogs API supports API key authentication and OAuth for secure access. Generate credentials in your Blogs API dashboard and store them safely in Zapier. For best practices, rotate keys periodically and use restricted scopes tailored to your BrightHR integration. This keeps data access minimal and auditable. In Zapier, never share credentials in public spaces and enable two-factor authentication where available.
For a basic sync between Blogs API and BrightHR, start with endpoints that create and fetch posts (POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts) and endpoints that pull authors and categories (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories). These enable essential content creation, categorization, and author mapping. As you grow, add endpoints for updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to keep data consistent.
Data mapping is the key. Create a field map that aligns Blogs API post fields (title, content, authorId, categoryId, slug) with BrightHR task or campaign fields. Use Zapier to transform or rename fields as needed, ensuring that IDs from one system correspond to valid references in the other. Regularly validate mappings by running test zaps against sample records.
Yes. Blogs API has rate limits based on your plan. Plan your triggers and actions to avoid bursts that could hit the cap. Use batch operations where possible (e.g., fetch multiple posts in a single request) and implement backoff strategies in your automations. If you anticipate heavy use, consider upgrade options and request rate-limit guidance from support.
Absolutely. You can automate publishing from BrightHR to Blogs API by creating a Zap that takes BrightHR-approved drafts and uses POST /blogs/posts to publish. You can also set up scheduled updates so that changes in BrightHR reflect in your blog content at defined intervals.
Endpoint documentation for Blogs API is available in the official developer portal and within your Blogs API dashboard. You’ll find details for each endpoint, required parameters, authentication methods, and example requests. If anything is unclear, reach out to support for endpoint-specific guidance.
