Use your Blogs API credentials with the scope emails/builder.readonly to access post and email builder endpoints safely.
Connect Canto to Blogs API by registering the app and obtaining an access token. Grant the necessary scopes and test the connection in a sandbox before going live.
Core endpoints involved: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: a new draft is created in Canto, which initiates a POST to /blogs/posts to create the blog post and then schedules it for publishing.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate metadata.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Key fields: title, content, postSlug, authorId, categoryId, status.
Trigger: updates to emails via the Blogs API emails builder prompt a blog post update or creation.
Actions: POST emails/builder to create templates; POST /emails/builder/data to fill content; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId to remove templates.
Methods/Paths: POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId.
Key fields: templateName, locationId, templateId, emailContent.
Trigger: a scheduled sync refreshes author and category data from Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to retrieve data; optionally GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key fields: authorId, categoryId, slug.
Build automations quickly with drag-and-drop connectors—no coding required.
Keep blog data in sync across platforms with automated workflows and real-time updates.
Speed up publishing by reusing authors and categories between Apps without duplicating effort.
This section defines the core elements: API endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and key fields used to connect Blogs API with Canto.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the post URL.
A notification sent automatically from one app to another when a specified event occurs.
The creator or writer of a blog post.
Drafts created in Canto automatically publish to Blogs API with metadata like author and category.
Use author data to suggest relevant categories from Blogs API to classify posts in Canto.
Verify slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing from Canto.
Register your Canto app with the Blogs API and collect credentials; configure the necessary scopes (emails/builder.readonly).
Align fields such as title, content, authorId, categoryId, and slug between Canto and the Blogs API.
Run tests for triggers and actions; verify data integrity; then deploy to production.
The Blogs API is the data layer you use to create, update, and publish blog content from your workflows. It exposes endpoints for managing posts, categories, authors, and related email templates. In this integration, it serves as the source of truth for blog content and publishing metadata. The combination with Canto lets you drive publishing from your content hub without coding.
Canto is treated here as the content app that holds drafts, authors, and categories. It acts as the front-end workspace where you prepare posts and organize content, while the Blogs API handles the publishing pipeline and post storage. Together they enable a seamless no-code publishing flow.
No traditional coding is required. Using a no-code integration platform, you connect the Apps with predefined actions and triggers. You configure endpoints, map fields, and test the workflow so that updates in Canto propagate to Blogs API automatically.
To sync posts, you primarily use endpoints under blogs/posts, including creating (POST /blogs/posts), updating (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). You may also pull categories and authors to enrich posts via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Yes. You can update existing posts from Canto by using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and by syncing reference data like authorId and categoryId. Ensure you validate the slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before re-publishing.
Testing involves running your triggers and actions in a staging environment, checking for data alignment between Canto and Blogs API, and validating that updates propagate correctly. Once verified, promote the workflow to production with monitoring in place.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
