Start by generating an API key for the Blogs API with the required scope. Store the key securely and enter it in the Zapier App Connector connection settings to authorize requests.
In Zapier App Connector, follow the on screen prompts to authorize access to your Blogs API connection. Choose the correct API key and test the connection.
Core endpoints you may use include GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST blogs/posts, PUT blogs/posts/:postId, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET blogs/categories, GET blogs/authors and POST /emails/builder/data to manage content when needed. These endpoints cover content creation, updates, schedules, and metadata like slug validation and category and author data.
Trigger: a new post draft is created in Zapier App Connector that should be posted to Blogs API
Actions: create post, update post, check slug, fetch categories and authors
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds
Trigger: when a post is updated in APPNAME or when a slug needs validation, perform a GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists check
Actions: check slug, retrieve post by slug, update post
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Slug field for lookup and postId for updates
Trigger: schedule periodic fetches to support analytics and reports
Actions: fetch posts, fetch authors, fetch categories for dashboards
GET /blogs/posts
Optional query parameters such as author, category, date range

Map post fields to APPNAME actions and run a test before going live
You do not need to code to start. The App Connector provides visual builders and triggers that map to Blogs API endpoints. Use the connection setup to authorize and then drag and drop actions to create your automation. If you do run into roadblocks, consult the endpoint reference and testing tools within APPNAME.
For basic publishing you will primarily use POST /blogs/posts to create content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. You can also validate a slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and check category and author data with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Slug validation helps avoid duplicate URLs. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to ensure the slug is unique. You can include slug checks in your automation steps to prevent errors.
The Blogs API supports API keys or OAuth depending on your configuration. Use the connection setup in APPNAME to choose the appropriate auth method and store credentials securely.
Yes. You can schedule posts by including timing details in the payload or by using a separate scheduling endpoint if provided. Use APPNAME to trigger delayed publishes as part of your workflow.
Rate limits depend on your plan. Plan for retries and implement exponential backoff in APPNAME to avoid hitting limits during peak times.
Sample payloads for creating posts are available in the endpoint reference. Use the fields title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryIds as a starting point and adjust to your schema.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
