To authorize the Blogs API connection from Donorbox, generate API credentials in the Blogs API and securely store them. Use API keys or OAuth as supported by your plan.
To authorize Donorbox, create a connected app in Donorbox and grant the necessary scopes for reading and writing donor data and posts. Use OAuth or API keys as available.
Core endpoints used in this Donorbox integration with Blogs API include GET emails/builder POST emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId GET emails/schedule GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: donation completed in Donorbox; Action: create a draft blog post via POST /blogs/posts and populate with donor data and donation amount
Actions: call POST /blogs/posts to create the post, then update slug and metadata using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as needed
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields: title, content, donorName, donorEmail, donationAmount; optional: categoryId, authorId
Trigger: donor data changes in Donorbox; Action: fetch authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories
Actions: pull authors and categories, then create or update blog posts with POST /blogs/posts and assign authorId and categoryId
GET /blogs/authors
Fields to map: authorId, categoryId, postId
Trigger: new blog post published; Action: schedule emails using POST emails/builder and view schedule with GET emails/schedule
Actions: craft email content with POST /emails/builder, then schedule delivery via GET /emails/schedule
POST emails/builder
Fields: recipientList, templateId, scheduleTime
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code and reduce manual data entry
Keep donor focused content fresh with auto generated blog posts and timely emails
Speed up time to value with ready to use triggers and actions
Core elements and processes used in this integration include endpoints, triggers, actions, and mapping rules
An API is a set of rules that allows one app to talk to another, enabling data exchange and automation
An endpoint is a specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action or retrieve data from a service
A slug is the URL friendly version of a post title used in links
A webhook is an automated callback that sends real time data between apps when an event occurs
Automatically publish donor spotlight posts when a donation exceeds a set threshold and share stories with your audience
Create timely blog posts celebrating donor milestones and publish across channels
Publish a weekly digest post and send a summary email to your donor list via Donorbox
Generate API credentials from the Blogs API and Donorbox and securely store them in your automation platform
Define events in Donorbox that should trigger blog posts or emails
Map donor fields to blog post fields and email templates to ensure correct data flow
No coding is required. Use the built in connectors and intuitive UI to link Donorbox with Blogs API. You can set triggers for donations to author blog posts and emails. If you prefer, you can also use the API endpoints listed to build custom automations. Start by authenticating both sides, then configure triggers, map fields, and test the workflow.
You will primarily use endpoints to read and write emails and manage blog posts such as GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Also fetch taxonomy with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate post metadata. These endpoints let you create posts, check slug availability, fetch categories and authors, and schedule emails.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens. In the Blogs API generate credentials; in Donorbox create a connected app; store tokens securely and pass them with each request. Use least privilege scopes and rotate credentials periodically for security.
Yes you can schedule emails based on blog activity. Use the emails/builder to craft templates and the emails/schedule endpoint to set delivery times. Configure triggers when a blog post is published or updated to automatically enqueue a donor notification.
Blog posts are stored in the Blogs API. Slug management is handled via the slug exist endpoint and update calls. Ensure unique slugs by checking GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing, and update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId if needed.
Yes mapping fields between Donorbox and Blogs API is supported. Map donor fields like name and email to post author metadata and to recipient fields in email templates. Use consistent field mappings to ensure accurate data flow.
Logs and errors can be viewed in the integration dashboard or via error responses from endpoints. Enable verbose logging, check request responses, and verify credentials and mappings. For any failure start with testing authentication and triggers.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
