Answer: You authenticate by using OAuth or API keys and then grant Zapier App Connector access to the Blogs API. Ensure tokens are stored securely and refreshed as needed. Test the connection to confirm authorization.
Answer: To publish a post you typically use POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and ensure the slug is unique by checking GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists first.
Answer: Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability and prevent duplicates before creating a post.
Answer: Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns; set validation for slug, title, and content.
Answer: Yes, write permissions are required for endpoints that create or update content; read-only scopes are enough for listing or checking existence.
Answer: Enable detailed logs, use test data, and monitor webhooks; use Zapier’s task history to debug failed runs.
Answer: Depending on rate limits, spread requests, implement retries, and cache results where possible.
