ClockShark time entries, project names, and activity types can be used to craft post titles, fill content, and assign categories or tags. You can map hours, dates, notes, and project metadata to SEO fields or meta descriptions to tailor each post for search visibility.
No traditional coding is required—use a no-code builder to configure triggers and actions visually. You may need to set up API keys or OAuth credentials, but there are guided steps to complete the setup without writing code.
Yes, you can publish to multiple blogs if your Blogs API account supports multiple blog destinations. Configure the target blog in the action step and route posts accordingly.
Yes. To update a published post, use the update endpoint PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and modify fields like title, content, or tags. Maintain unique slugs to prevent duplicates.
Required permissions include read/write access to blogs, authors, and categories. Ensure the app has appropriate scopes and keeps credentials secure. Rotate keys regularly.
If a sync fails, check the integration logs for error messages, verify API keys or OAuth tokens, and confirm end-to-end mapping between ClockShark events and Blog endpoints.
Integration logs can be viewed in the ClockShark–Blogs API connector dashboard. Review request/response details, retry failed runs, and monitor upcoming scheduled posts.
