Choose a secure method (API key or OAuth) and store credentials in your Zapier connection for every run.
Configure OAuth2 or API key provisioning within the Zapier app to securely access Blogs API.

Trigger: Publish new posts from Zapier to Blogs API.
Actions: Publish or schedule posts, update metadata.
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, author, status

Faster onboarding and deployment with visual builders and prebuilt actions.
No heavy programming required; map fields and test in minutes.
Scalable automations that grow with your content strategy.
This glossary explains core concepts and the data flows when connecting Blogs API to Zapier App Connector.
A set of rules that allow applications to communicate and exchange data.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets apps access user data securely without sharing passwords.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post, used in URLs and routing.
A way for apps to send real-time data to another service via HTTP callbacks.
Trigger from your CMS and publish via Blogs API to keep your site fresh without manual steps.
Sync product announcements to blogs for SEO and consistency across channels.
Check slug availability before publishing to prevent duplicates across platforms.
Obtain API keys or OAuth tokens from Blogs API and set them in Zapier.
Enter base URLs, scopes, and authentication in the Zapier app.
Map blog fields like title, content, slug to Zapier actions and test end-to-end.
You can use API keys or OAuth depending on how Blogs API is configured. In Zapier, open the connection settings and choose the appropriate authentication method for secure access. Save credentials and test the connection to ensure requests are authorized. If your API uses OAuth, refresh tokens automatically to maintain access.
Core endpoints include retrieving posts (GET /blogs/posts), creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). These endpoints enable publishing, updating, and validating content from Zapier workflows.
No heavy coding is required. Use Zapier’s visual workflow builder to map fields, set up triggers, and configure actions. Some familiarity with REST endpoints helps, but most setups are drag-and-drop with simple field mappings.
Slug collisions are prevented by checking the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If a collision exists, update the slug or modify the post to ensure unique URLs across platforms.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. In Zapier, implement exponential backoff and retries to gracefully handle limits and transient errors.
Yes. You can run test requests in Zapier’s connection setup to simulate real responses. Use test data for posts, slugs, and categories to validate mappings without publishing live content.
Zapier provides built-in task history and error notifications. Configure retries and alerting to monitor failures, and review API responses to diagnose authentication or permission issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
