To securely use the Blogs API from Callbell, configure OAuth 2.0 with client credentials and scopes that preserve data integrity while enabling the required blog operations.
Callbell connects to external APIs by using API keys or OAuth tokens configured in the app’s integration settings; ensure credentials are stored securely and rotated regularly.
blogs/post.write — Create or update blog content\nPOST /blogs/posts — Create a new blog post\nblogs/post-update.write — Update post content\nPUT /blogs/posts/:postId — Update a specific post\nblogs/check-slug.readonly — Validate a slug before publishing\nGET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — Check if a slug already exists\nGET /blogs/categories — List blog categories\nblogs/author.readonly — Retrieve blog authors\nGET /blogs/authors — List all authors
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) or when a draft is published.
Action: Create a Notification message in Callbell and optionally distribute it to connected channels.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishedAt
Trigger: post updates via Callbell (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId).
Action: Update blog content in Blogs API and reflect changes in Callbell messages.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Before publish, verify slug with blogs/check-slug.readonly or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions: Check slug, map category, create or update as needed.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (and blogs/check-slug.readonly)
slug, postId
Fast setup with no coding required — connect Callbell to Blogs API using built-in integrator flows.
Automate publishing and notifications across channels without writing code.
Gain visibility with logs and dashboards to track engagement and results.
This section defines the core elements involved in the integration: endpoints, authentication flow, data fields, and event-driven triggers.
An API is a set of rules that lets software applications talk to each other. In this integration, the Blogs API exposes endpoints to create, read, update, and check posts, categories, authors, and slugs.
A webhook is an HTTP callback that notifies you when events occur. In this flow, webhooks can push post updates or publish events to Callbell when configured.
A slug is a URL-friendly version of a post title used to identify the post in URLs (for example my-post-title).
An endpoint is a specific URL path in an API that performs an action, such as creating or updating a blog post.
Notify teams or subscribers instantly when a new post goes live in Blogs API, triggering a Callbell message across channels.
Show a preview snippet of upcoming posts in Callbell conversations to drive engagement before publication.
Automatically push new blogs to connected social accounts from Callbell, expanding reach.
Generate API keys or OAuth credentials in the Blogs API console and enter them in Callbell’s integration settings.
Run a quick test to fetch authors, categories, and a sample post to verify connectivity.
Map blog fields (title, content, slug, author, category) and set up triggers for new posts and updates.
No extensive coding is required thanks to the no-code integration features. Use Callbell’s built-in connectors to configure the Blogs API and map fields like title, content, and slug. If you have developers, they can tailor advanced automations, but the core flow works with clicks and forms.\nThis setup is designed for marketers, support teams, and product teams who want to streamline publishing and notifications without writing code.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts) and updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). You’ll also want to check slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and validate slugs (blogs/check-slug.readonly). Category and author endpoints (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) help ensure proper metadata when publishing.\nUsing these in tandem lets Callbell trigger posts, sync updates, and keep content consistent across channels.
The Blogs API typically requires OAuth 2.0 credentials or API keys, configured in the Callbell integration settings. Scopes should permit read/write access to posts, categories, and authors as needed. Always follow your security policy to protect tokens and rotate credentials regularly.\nIf you’re using a service that supports webhooks, you can also configure callbacks for post events to keep Callbell synchronized with the blog system.
Yes. When a post is scheduled or published, a Callbell automation can trigger notifications to channels or teams. You can also push previews or summaries to conversations in real time as part of the workflow.\nConfigure a scheduling trigger that aligns with your publishing calendar and ensure the mapping between blog fields and Callbell message templates is correct.
Use the slug existence endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify whether a slug is already taken. This helps avoid duplicate posts and ensures clean URLs. You can also use blogs/check-slug.readonly for validation in a read-only check before publishing.\nIf a slug exists, you can generate a new one automatically or prompt for a manual update in your workflow.
Refer to the Blogs API documentation and the Callbell integration guide for step-by-step setup, field mappings, and example workflows. You can also reach out to support or consult the developer community for best practices, templates, and troubleshooting tips.
