Access to Blogs API requires a valid OAuth token or API key with the correct scopes for the endpoints you plan to use. For content work, request scopes that cover blogs and related resources, and ensure the token is refreshed before expiry.
In the Zapier OAuth flow, provide your client ID and secret, set the redirect URL, and authorize the connection to Blogs API. After authorization, test the connection to confirm credentials and permissions.
Core endpoints you may leverage with the Zapier App Connector include: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. Use these to manage blog content, categories, and author data, while email-related endpoints can support complementary workflows.
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API and push it to your CMS, social channels, or newsletter.
Actions: create a new post with title, content, slug, author, and category mappings; publish and notify downstream systems.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds, publishDate, status
Triggered when a blog post is updated in Blogs API to sync changes across connected apps.
Actions: update post fields (title, content, slug, categories); re-publish; adjust SEO fields.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryIds, publishDate, status
Trigger when you want to remove a post from public view.
Actions: archive or mark as inactive; optionally delete from downstream systems where supported.
N/A — Blogs API does not expose a dedicated delete endpoint in this flow; use status to archive.
postId, status
Automate publishing, updates, and distribution without writing code.
Create end-to-end workflows that move content between Blogs API and your apps in minutes.
Scale content operations with repeatable, auditable processes and logs.
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, data mapping, and testing steps to ensure reliable data flow.
A defined interface that allows apps to talk to each other and request data or perform actions.
A blog entry that can be created, updated, or published via the API.
A URL-friendly version of the title used in post URLs.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to the API using tokens or keys.
When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, push it to your CMS, social profiles, and email newsletter in one workflow.
Update posts across connected apps when changes occur in Blogs API.
Automatically archive outdated posts and re-share to appropriate channels on a schedule.
Register your app, obtain client credentials, and initiate OAuth to authorize access to Blogs API.
Select endpoints like posts, categories, and authors; map title, content, slug, and metadata.
Run tests, verify data sync, and enable live automation.
Most no-code connections can be set up in under an hour if you have the required credentials. For simple blog posting workflows, you can complete setup in less than 30 minutes after credentials are configured. If you are integrating multiple endpoints, allocate extra time for field mapping and testing.
No deep coding knowledge is required for this integration. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder that maps fields and endpoints. A basic understanding of API concepts helps, but you can accomplish most tasks with guided prompts and presets.
A basic connection typically uses endpoints for creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). You may also map authors and categories (GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories) for richer post data.
Yes. You can test the connection using sandbox or sample data if supported by your Blogs API account. This allows you to verify mappings and triggers before going live. If a live account is required, contact your API provider to obtain a temporary test environment.
Absolutely. Field mapping supports custom fields within the Blogs API and related resources. You can map title, content, slug, author, categories, and custom metadata to fit your workflow. If a field is not present, you can create a placeholder and adjust later.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Plan for bursts due to publishing schedules and concurrency. Implement retries with exponential backoff and consider batching where supported to maintain reliability.
Authentication is done via OAuth or API keys. Ensure your token or key has the necessary scopes for the endpoints you intend to use. Rotate credentials regularly and store them securely in your Zapier app configuration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
