No advanced coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides triggers and actions for the Blogs API that you can configure with point-and-click flow. If you’re already using Zapier, you can map fields and build automations quickly. For complex data transformations, light scripting can be added, but most workflows work well with built-in steps. For deeper customization, you can leverage additional endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to manage posts programmatically while keeping the no-code layer intact for daily operations.
Publishing posts typically involves endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. You’ll also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map metadata like category and author. For slug validation, consult GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Map fields like title, content, slug, and category to ensure accuracy. Test each step in Zapier to confirm the flow publishing behavior aligns with Disciple expectations.
