Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 and API keys within the Zapier connection. The recommended scope is emails/builder.readonly to read content safely while enabling automation.
Set up a connected app in Zapier or provide your API token to securely authorize the connection between Zapier and Blogs API.
Endpoint examples for Blogs API integration with Zapier:\n- GET emails/builder (Endpoint1)\n- POST emails/builder (Endpoint2)\n- POST /emails/builder/data (Endpoint4)\n- DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId (Endpoint5)\n- GET emails/schedule (Endpoint7)\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (Endpoint13)\n- GET /blogs/categories (Endpoint15)\n- GET /blogs/authors (Endpoint17)\n- GET /blogs/posts (via blogs/post.write)\n- POST /blogs/posts (Endpoint9)\n- POST /blogs/post-update.write (Endpoint10)\n- PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (Endpoint11)\n- GET /blogs/categories (Endpoint15)\n- GET /blogs/authors (Endpoint17)\n- GET /blogs/posts (Endpoint16)\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (Endpoint13)\n- GET /blogs/authors (Endpoint17)\n- etc.
Trigger: A new draft is created in your workflow and sent to the Blogs API to publish.
Actions: create or update posts using POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; fetch post data with GET /blogs/posts; update slug with endpoint like blogs/check-slug.readonly or GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts to read, POST /blogs/post-update.write for batch updates.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, status
Trigger: Time-based scheduling to publish posts via Blogs API.
Actions: queue posts for publishing; use POST /blogs/posts to create scheduled posts and manage timing via internal scheduling logic.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, GET /blogs/posts to review, and optional endpoints for scheduling validations like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key fields: postId, scheduleTime, status
Trigger: Updates to categories or authors refresh related post metadata in automations.
Methods: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to assign metadata.
Key fields: categoryId, authorId
Automate publishing workflows without writing code.

Save time, reduce errors, and accelerate content production.
Overview of essential elements and processes in the Blogs API and Zapier integration.
OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that enables apps to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service.
Slug is a URL-friendly version of a post title used to create clean, memorable URLs.
An API key is a secret token used to authenticate requests to an API.
A webhook is a URL endpoint that receives real-time data when an event occurs.
Aggregate drafts and publish on a set schedule, then notify your team with a recap.
Auto-create social media posts, newsletters, and email summaries from blog content.
Automatically assign categories and authors using content signals and audience data.
Obtain client credentials or API keys and securely store them in Zapier.
Set up OAuth 2.0 or token-based authentication in the Zapier app.
Connect endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts and POST /blogs/posts, then run tests to verify data mapping.
The Blogs API integration with Zapier allows you to automate blog management without traditional coding. By configuring triggers, actions, and searches in Zapier, you can publish, update, and organize posts directly from your workflows. This setup saves time and reduces manual steps. There is also flexibility to expand automations as your content strategy grows.
No extensive coding is required thanks to Zapier’s visual builder. You configure connections, triggers, and actions in a few clicks. Advanced users can still customize using API keys and direct endpoint calls if needed for custom data shaping or special auth flows.
Supported endpoints include publishing posts, updating posts, fetching posts, and managing categories and authors. Examples include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/categories. You can also check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Connection security relies on standard OAuth 2.0 flows or API keys. Use appropriate scopes to limit access (such as emails/builder.readonly for reading content). Always store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically.
Yes. You can schedule posts by creating posts with a scheduled publish time and using Zapier to trigger at the specified time. This enables automated, time-based publishing without manual intervention.
Map essential fields such as title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId. Validate required fields and ensure IDs align with your Blogs API catalog to avoid errors during publish.
Endpoint details are documented in the developer docs and accessible from your Blogs API integration page in Zapier. Always test in a staging environment before going live to confirm mappings and triggers behave as expected.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
