Use your Blogs API key or OAuth tokens to authorize requests. Include the token in the Authorization header and scope requests to emails/builder.readonly to keep operations secure.
Authenticate Detrack in the Zapier connector using OAuth2 or an API key provided by Detrack. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger when a new blog post is published via the Blogs API, then automatically send a templated email through Emails Builder.
Actions include sending the post via email templates, optionally updating post metadata, and scheduling follow-up emails.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author
Trigger on blog post updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) to push updated content to subscribers via email and in-app notifications.
Actions include updating email templates, resending notifications, and adjusting schedules for follow-up emails.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, status, slug
Trigger when a slug exists check is performed (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
Actions include creating a validation alert if slug exists and optionally routing to a QA channel or updating a status field.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
No coding required—the flow is built in Zapier with endpoints mapping between Blogs API and Detrack.
Drag-and-drop workflow builder lets you map fields and define triggers without writing code.
Fast time-to-value with reusable templates for emails and blog updates.
This glossary covers API, endpoints, triggers, actions, and common fields used in the Blogs API to Detrack integration.
An application programming interface that enables data exchange between two software systems.
The process of granting access to an API securely, typically via tokens or OAuth flows.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in web addresses and routing.
A callback mechanism that notifies your app when events occur in another service.
Automatically generate and distribute emails whenever a new blog post is published.
Use author or category data to personalize emails and updates for different segments.
Check slug uniqueness before publishing and alert the team if conflicts occur.
In Zapier, connect Blogs API and Detrack accounts and grant the necessary permissions.
Create a Zap that maps blog post fields to email template fields and defines the trigger conditions.
Run tests with sample data, verify deliverability, and turn on the automation for production use.
No heavy coding is required. The flow is built in Zapier using pre-built actions and simple field mappings. You can achieve most scenarios with drag-and-drop logic. If you need more control, you can layer in a small amount of custom Webhook handling or a light script.
At minimum you will use endpoints to retrieve slug existence, create posts, and send emails. Examples include GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, and POST /emails/builder. Depending on your use case you may also use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and POST /emails/builder/data.
Yes. You can customize email content by mapping blog post fields (title, slug, author) to the email template variables in the Emails Builder. Templates can be reused across posts for consistency and efficiency.
Connections use secure tokens and HTTPS. Store credentials in a secure vault and limit scope to only the endpoints you need. Rotate credentials regularly and monitor access logs.
Yes. You can schedule emails by using the emails/schedule endpoints or by setting time-based triggers in Zapier. This lets you control delivery timing and pacing of notifications.
If a blog post is deleted, the automation can skip sending updates or trigger a fallback workflow to notify internal teams. You can also archive related emails or reassign them to a fallback template.
API documentation for the Blogs API and the Detrack app connector is available in the respective developer portals and in-app help. You can also view endpoint references directly in the integration setup screens.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
