To begin, generate an API key for the Blogs API and store it securely in your Zapier credentials. Use that key to authenticate requests and verify scopes like emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write.
In Zapier, create a connection for the Blogs API by providing the API key and choosing the appropriate authentication method (API Key). This creates a secure bridge for triggers and actions.
Endpoint list and permissions you can leverage from the integration:\n- GET emails/builder\n- emails/builder.write\n- POST emails/builder\n- POST /emails/builder/data\n- DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId\n- emails/schedule.readonly\n- GET emails/schedule\n- blogs/post.write\n- POST /blogs/posts\n- blogs/post-update.write\n- PUT /blogs/posts/:postId\n- blogs/check-slug.readonly\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists\n- blogs/category.readonly\n- GET /blogs/categories\n- blogs/author.readonly\n- GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API
Actions: Use Zapier to POST /blogs/posts, map fields like title, content, author_id, slug, and category_id
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, slug, category_id
Trigger: Blog post updates in Blogs API
Actions: Update posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and map fields such as title, content, and slug
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: On-demand fetch of categories or authors
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns and mappings
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
category_id, name; author_id, name
Rapid automation without custom development; connect triggers and actions in minutes.
Centralized workflows across emails and blogs, reducing manual handoffs.
Easier data synchronization and reporting across platforms.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, data mappings, and authentication. Understanding these will help you model reliable automated flows between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface that enables communication between software components and allows data exchange.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a resource, typically a blog post slug.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
A URL that receives real-time notifications from an API when data changes.
Pull the latest posts from Blogs API and assemble a digest in an email or newsletter via emails/builder.
Publish blog post updates to social or email channels via Zapier when a post changes.
Route posts into category-specific automations to target audiences based on slug or category.
Create a new connection using your API key and set up authentication.
Choose triggers like new post, updated post, and map fields to actions such as POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Run tests in Zapier, verify data mappings, and enable the live automation.
You can connect Blogs API to the Zapier App Connector with API Key authentication; no coding required. The app will expose triggers and actions based on the endpoints you enable in your connection. Once connected, you can start automating post creation and distribution flows right away. Follow the authentication steps in Zapier to confirm the connection, then use Zapier’s test tool to verify that the data maps correctly between Blogs API and your chosen actions.
Yes. Use endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull available categories and authors. You can then map these fields into your downstream apps within Zapier. This enables dynamic dropdowns and accurate content routing in your automations.
Some endpoints are read-only (for example blogs/category.readonly, blogs/author.readonly, blogs/check-slug.readonly, and blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Writable endpoints include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and POST /emails/builder data. Plan your flows accordingly and handle permissions in your Zapier app.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. Provide the URL slug in the request; if it exists, adjust the slug in your input or generate a unique slug before creating the post. This helps prevent duplicate content and keeps your URLs clean.
Yes. You can manage email templates via DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId and POST /emails/builder to create templates. The integration can orchestrate template creation and deletion from Zapier, but always test changes in a staging environment first.
Scheduling is supported through the emails/schedule endpoints and can be coordinated with blog posting via Zapier workflows. Use emails/builder to create templates and schedule deliveries, while blogs endpoints manage post publishing and updates. Combine these to automate scheduled communications around new content.
Start with the test runner in Zapier to validate each trigger and action. Verify authentication, ensure endpoint permissions match your intended operations, and review mapping accuracy. If issues arise, consult endpoint docs and re-run tests until the flow behaves as expected.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
