To use Blogs API in the Zapier App Connector, connect your Blogs API account and provide the necessary API credentials. Use a stable API key or OAuth method as supported by the Blogs API, then test the connection to ensure secure access to endpoints.
In APPNAME, configure a secure authentication method for the Blogs API connection. Store credentials securely, enable token refresh if available, and verify that Zapier can access the required endpoints on every run.

Trigger: When a new draft is ready in your workflow, create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts to verify, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id, published_at
Trigger: New post updates trigger a GET or PUT cycle to sync content.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists for slug validation.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: New category or author is added to keep metadata current.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST/PUT endpoints as needed to manage metadata.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
category_id, author_id, name
Automate publishing workflows without writing code. Trigger posts based on schedules or events, instantly publishing to your blog.
Synchronize content across platforms with real-time or scheduled updates, reducing manual data entry.
Centralize error handling and logs in Zapier, making debugging faster and more reliable.
Key elements and processes involved in connecting Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, including endpoints, authentication, and data mapping.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to access a resource in an API.
The method by which a client proves identity to access API resources (e.g., API keys, OAuth).
A URL-friendly version of a string (often a post title) used in links and routes.
A defined URL and method to perform a specific action on a resource in an API.
Set up a Zap that drafts posts in Blogs API and publishes them on a predefined schedule, reducing manual timing errors.
When a new draft enters your CMS, automatically create a blog post via POST /blogs/posts, then publish or review.
Push key blog content into email campaigns automatically to maximize reach and engagement.
Connect your Blogs API account in APPNAME and verify the connection is active.
Select the endpoints you plan to use (e.g., create, update, list posts) and map fields to your Zapier triggers and actions.
Create Zaps to automate publishing, updating, and retrieval of blog posts with minimal setup.
You’ll typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, GET /blogs/posts to list posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. The Email endpoints listed in this guide are for a broader example; focus on the blogs endpoints for publishing workflows. Ensure your authentication method is configured in APPNAME to authorize requests.
In APPNAME, set up authentication by selecting API Key or OAuth as supported by Blogs API. Save credentials securely and enable token refresh if available. Use test requests to confirm a successful connection before building Zaps.
Yes. Use a trigger such as a new draft or a new CMS item to fire a Zap that creates a blog post via POST /blogs/posts. You can then add actions to publish, tag, or categorize automatically.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness before creating posts. This helps prevent duplicate content and ensures clean URLs.
Map fields like title, content, slug, category_id, and author_id to Zapier fields. Use consistent data types and validate required fields to avoid failed runs.
Use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate pickers in Zapier. You can create or update categories/authors with dedicated endpoints as your workflow requires.
Explore sample Zaps: publish posts automatically on a schedule, sync drafts to live posts, or pull author data into a CRM. Start with a simple publish flow and expand as needed.
