Use the API credentials you obtain in your Blogs API developer console and ensure your app has the necessary scopes to read and write blog data (such as blogs.post.write and blogs.post-update.write) for full workflow automation.
Configure authentication in Zapier—use OAuth 2.0 where available or API keys, and securely store tokens. Follow best practices for credential rotation and scope minimization.
Endpoints overview: – GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – 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 added in your source (e.g., a content CMS) to automatically create and publish via Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create a post, update a post, and set categories/author using the blogs endpoints.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categories, authorId, publishDate
Trigger: check slug existence to prevent duplicates before creating a post.
Actions: call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug, then proceed with POST /blogs/posts if available.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Trigger: pull categories and authors to enrich posts and enable dynamic field mapping.
Actions: fetch GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns and autofill mappings.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, authorId
Automate blog publishing without writing code, from draft to live post across connected apps.
Sync drafts, updates, and metadata to multiple channels with zero custom development.
Schedule, update, and monitor content pipelines with reusable Zap templates.
This glossary covers endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and common error handling for the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration.
A specific API URL path that performs a function, such as creating or retrieving a blog post.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the post URL.
An authorization framework enabling secure access to API resources without sharing passwords.
A blog entry stored in the Blogs API, containing content, metadata, and IDs.
Create a Zap that triggers on a new post in Blogs API and automatically shares the post URL to connected social channels or CMSs using available actions.
Upon publish, back up content and metadata to cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive or Dropbox) for compliance and backups.
Set up recurring workflows to update republished versions, adjust categories, or re-share to newsletters automatically.
In the Blogs API developer portal, create an app and generate client credentials or an API key for secure access.
In your Zapier app, set up OAuth 2.0 or API key authentication, test the connection, and save credentials securely.
Add actions to call POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; map title, content, slug, categories, and author to Zapier fields; test thoroughly.
Most common endpoints used are POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. You may also leverage GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. For read-only needs, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate mappings and dropdown fields in Zapier. If you need to manage emails or schedules alongside blogs, you can refer to the accompanying emails endpoints as needed. Always start with a test connection in Zapier to confirm credentials and scopes before building automated workflows.
The typical options are OAuth 2.0 for secure token-based access or API keys where supported by the Blogs API. In Zapier, configure the chosen method, request the necessary scopes (such as blogs.post.write, blogs.post-update.write, blogs.check-slug.readonly), and securely store tokens. Rotate credentials periodically and monitor for invalid token errors.
Yes. Use POST /blogs/posts to create a new post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts. You can also validate slugs first with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates. Map fields like title, content, slug, and metadata to ensure accurate post creation and updates.
Before publishing, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique. If the slug exists, you can either update the existing post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or generate a new slug. Automate this check within your Zap to prevent conflicts in your blog catalog.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Plan for bursts during campaigns and implement exponential backoff in your Zapier steps. If you anticipate high volume, batch operations where supported and stagger requests to stay within quotas.
Yes. You can fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories and authors with GET /blogs/authors to populate dynamic fields and ensure accurate labeling in posts. Use these endpoints to create consistent mappings in your Zap workflows.
If you run into errors, review authentication tokens, scopes, and endpoint permissions. Check API responses for error codes and messages, and enable verbose logging in Zapier during testing. The glossary and endpoint references in this guide provide quick context for common issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
