Use a secure API key or OAuth token to authenticate requests to the Blogs API. Store credentials safely in Zapier’s connection settings.
Zapier authenticates with connected apps like Email by Zapier through OAuth 2.0. You’ll grant permissions during the connection setup.
Core endpoints you may use include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: When a new blog post is created in Blogs API
Action: Send an email via Email by Zapier to your subscriber list with the post title, excerpt, and a link to the full article
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, excerpt, publishDate, slug
Trigger: Blog post updated in Blogs API
Action: Send an updated post email; include the changes and new publish date
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, updatedAt, slug
Trigger: New author added in Blogs API
Action: Send a welcome email to the new author using Email by Zapier; optionally notify editors
GET /blogs/authors
authorId, name, email, joinDate
Automate workflows without custom development, saving time and reducing manual data entry
Fast setup with prebuilt triggers and actions across endpoints
Scalable automation that grows with your content output
This glossary covers API endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data fields used in connecting Blogs API with Email by Zapier.
Application Programming Interface – a set of rules that lets different software programs communicate.
A specific URL path on an API that performs a defined action, like retrieving posts or sending emails.
A callback mechanism that allows apps to send real-time data to each other.
An authorization framework that lets apps obtain limited access to user accounts without sharing passwords.
Create a Zap: trigger on a new post in Blogs API and send an email with the post title, excerpt, and a link to the article.
Whenever a new author is added in Blogs API, fire a welcome email to that author and notify editors.
Log post details to a Google Sheet or Airtable for reporting and content planning.
In Zapier, connect Blogs API and Email by Zapier accounts and authorize the apps with the required permissions.
Select a trigger such as New Blog Post in Blogs API and set filters as needed.
Select Email by Zapier action to send emails; map fields like title, excerpt, and link.
Authentication is typically done via API keys or OAuth tokens. Ensure you store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically. In Zapier, set up a dedicated connection for this integration to keep access scoped to the required permissions. Always follow your security policy for credential storage.
A practical set of endpoints includes creating and managing emails (GET/POST emails/builder), scheduling, and managing posts (GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). These allow you to trigger emails on new posts, updates, and related activities. Use the endpoints most aligned with your automation goals and map data fields accordingly.
Yes. Zapier supports scheduling actions after triggers. You can set delays or schedule emails to align with your content calendar. Ensure your trigger captures the exact post publish or update time to maintain accuracy.
No coding is required. This is a no-code integration built through Zapier connections and presets. You configure triggers, actions, and field mappings in the Zapier UI.
Security is handled via OAuth 2.0 or API keys and encrypted connections. Use least-privilege access, keep credentials confidential, and review app permissions regularly. Zapier also provides audit logs for connection activity.
Yes. Use Zapier’s test feature to run a test trigger and action. Validate data mapping and email formatting before enabling live runs. Monitor task history for any errors and adjust mappings as needed.
When an error occurs, Zapier retries according to its retry policy. You can configure retries for specific steps and use filters to skip problematic data. Implement logging in your emails or connected apps to diagnose issues quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
