Secure access is required. Use your API key or OAuth token and request the scope emails/builder.readonly to read builder data.
In Zapier, connect the Blogs API app by entering client credentials and granting scopes. This keeps your data secure and ready for triggers and actions.

Trigger when a new draft is created to publish automatically.
Actions: create, update, or delete posts; fetch categories and authors to populate fields.
Methods to use: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
Key fields include title, slug, content, postId, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger when a post is published to automatically send a newsletter email.

Create workflows without coding; drag-and-drop triggers and actions.
Accelerate publishing and notification workflows across your blogs and emails.
Maintain consistency across platforms by centralizing content management through shared API endpoints.
Core elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, method paths, and fields used to connect Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that lets Zapier talk to Blogs API to perform actions.
A specific URL path used to perform an action, such as /blogs/posts or /emails/builder.
An event that starts an automation in Zapier (for example, a new draft is created).
A URL-friendly string used in blog post URLs and slug existence checks.
Draft new posts in your CMS can be automatically pushed to Blogs API and published via Zapier.
When a post is published, trigger a welcome email to subscribers using the Emails Builder.
Automatically ensure slug exists and updates propagate to SEO fields.
Step 1: obtain API keys, set the scope to emails/builder.readonly, and configure the Zapier app to use these credentials.
Step 2: map fields from Blogs API to Zapier actions; test data flow using sample posts.
Step 3: run end-to-end tests, verify slug checks, and deploy the automations.
Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions that talk to Blogs API without writing code. You can automate publishing, notifications, and content updates from a single workflow. Map data fields like title, slug, and author to the corresponding endpoints, and test the flow to ensure accuracy before going live.
For publishing and editing, you typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs. Combine these with the emails builder endpoints when you want to pair content with email notifications.
No coding is required to set up standard automations in Zapier App Connector; you configure triggers, actions, and data mappings in a visual editor. Advanced workflows may leverage conditional paths and multi-step actions, but the basics are drag-and-drop.
Slug existence checks can be done using GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or by attempting to create a post with a slug and handling the API response. Always validate slug availability before publishing to avoid conflicts.
Yes. You can schedule emails with endpoints under emails/schedule and emails/builder to create your email content. Use the schedule endpoint to set delivery times and recurrence for newsletters or alerts.
Scopes define what your app can read or modify. For this integration, include emails/builder.readonly for reading, and other write scopes as needed. Keep permissions minimal and request additional scopes only when you implement new features.
API endpoint details, parameter lists, and example requests are documented in the Blogs API docs and in the Zapier app’s integration guide. Refer to these docs for field names, required parameters, and error handling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
