Authenticate to the Blogs API using a secure API key with the appropriate scope. For example, read access to emails/builder requires emails/builder.readonly, while write actions require corresponding write scopes (e.g., emails/builder.write and blogs/post.write). Always use HTTPS and keep keys secret.
Zapier securely manages OAuth tokens and API keys. To connect, select the Blogs API in Zapier, follow prompts to authorize access, and store credentials securely within Zapier’s vault. No hard coding is required.

Key fields: title, content, slug, author, category, publishedStatus
Trigger: read upcoming schedules from emails/schedule and align with blog publication dates.
Actions: PUT to /blogs/posts/:postId to adjust publish times; fetch slug existence with blogs/check-slug.readonly to avoid duplicates.

This glossary explains the terms used in connecting the Blogs API to the Zapier App Connector, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and authentication concepts.
A defined URL and HTTP method that performs a specific action within a service.
A piece of content published on a blog, including title, body, slug, and metadata.
A secure authorization framework that enables apps to access user data without sharing passwords.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used in the post link.
Set up a trigger from emails/builder to create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts, including automatic slug generation and category tagging.
Link your calendar with the blogs posting schedule using the schedule endpoint and publish dates to align with events.
When a blog post is updated, automatically push a summarized version to emails/builder-based campaigns using the appropriate endpoints.
In the Blogs API dashboard, create an API key with the required scopes (read/write as needed).
Enter the API key in Zapier and authorize access to allow Zapier to perform actions on your behalf.
Create your workflows in Zapier, run tests to verify triggers and actions, and deploy to production.
The Blogs API provides programmatic access to create, update, and manage blog posts, authors, categories, and related data. When paired with the Zapier App Connector, you can trigger blog actions from email events, calendar events, or other app events without writing code. This enables you to automate content publishing and distribution across platforms. To get started, ensure your API key has the correct scope for the actions you intend (read vs write) and configure your Zapier project to use the corresponding endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Supported endpoints for creating and updating posts include POST /blogs/posts to create and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing, and GET /blogs/authors or GET /blogs/categories to enrich posts with author and category data. For content updates, the blogs/post-update.write endpoint can be used in conjunction with your Zapier workflows. Keep in mind that write operations require appropriate write scopes on your API key to ensure secure access.
No heavy coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions you can configure through a visual editor. You can connect your Blogs API endpoints to automate tasks such as creating posts from emails or updating posts from other apps. If a task requires dynamic data mapping, you can map fields like title, content, slug, and author in the Zap editor.
Security is handled with standard OAuth or API keys over HTTPS. Tokens are stored securely within Zapier and can be rotated as needed. Always apply the principle of least privilege by granting only the scopes necessary for a given workflow (e.g., read-only for fetching data, write for creating or updating posts). Regularly rotate keys and monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Yes. You can schedule publishing by combining the blogs/posts endpoints with your calendar or scheduling data. Use the schedule data from emails/schedule to set publish times, then call POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId at the scheduled time. This enables consistent release cadences without manual intervention.
The scope emails/builder.readonly allows read access to email builders. If you need to create or modify email builders, you must request emails/builder.write. Other write operations (e.g., blogs/post.write) require their respective write scopes. Always ensure your API key has the minimum required scopes for your intended workflows, and monitor usage to stay within any rate limits.
In Zapier, use the Test action in your Zap to validate triggers and actions against real data. Start with a simple trigger (e.g., a new email in emails/builder) and a basic action (e.g., create a blog post). Review the results, verify fields like title, slug, and content, and adjust mappings as needed before turning on live automations.
