Answer: For Blogs API, use OAuth 2.0 or API key per provider guidance; store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly. In the Cakemail connector, use the supported auth method configured in your integration settings and grant necessary permissions to read posts and manage newsletters.
Answer: Focus on endpoints like POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/authors to build a reliable automation. Map triggers from Blogs API to corresponding actions in Cakemail for newsletters and templates.
Answer: Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability. If the slug is taken, adjust the title or slug; include a fallback slug strategy in your workflow.
Answer: Yes. When a blog post updates, trigger a renewal of the related newsletter draft using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or recreate the newsletter as needed to reflect changes.
Answer: No heavy coding required. Use graphical builders like Zapier or the GHL connector to map triggers and actions. You may need some basic scripting for data transformations.
Answer: You can pull category and author data via endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors; map this data to newsletter templates as needed.
Answer: Look for official docs for the Blogs API and Cakemail connector, example templates, and community tutorials on integration patterns and best practices.
