When integrated with Callingly, you can automatically trigger notifications and workflows based on content events. This enables real-time updates to subscribers and CRM records without manual intervention.
Required permissions typically include read and write access to blog data (e.g., /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories). Ensure the API key or OAuth token has the least privilege needed for the tasks. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely.
Yes. You can trigger notifications for existing posts by querying for posts and enabling event triggers on updates or re-publishing events. Use the slug exists check to avoid duplicates, and then fire Callingly actions as needed.
Use API keys with scoped permissions and secure storage. Prefer environment variables and secret managers. Rotate keys periodically and monitor usage for unusual activity.
Test in a staging environment or using sandbox data. Use test API keys, simulate events, and verify that Callingly workflows trigger correctly before going live.
If a post is deleted, you can configure Callingly to archive related notifications or notify subscribers of the change. This keeps your data consistent without breaking automation.
