To begin, generate your API key from the Blogs API dashboard and grant the Zapier App Connector the required scopes (emails/builder.readonly) to access posts, categories, authors, and schedules.
In Zapier, connect the Zapier App Connector to your Blogs API by entering the API key and approving the requested permissions.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API
Actions: Publish the post to your site, send a notification email, and update your content calendar.
POST /blogs/posts
Title, content, slug, category, author
Trigger: New blog post published in Blogs API
Actions: Send email via Emails API to your subscriber list, optionally schedule a digest.
POST emails/builder
Recipients, subject, body, email template
Trigger: Post updated in Blogs API
Actions: Update category mappings and reflect slug changes on your site.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Post ID, category IDs, slug

Core terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
A defined set of endpoints and methods that let applications request and transfer data with the Blogs API.
A specific URL path that performs a function, such as creating a post or fetching categories.
A blog article with title, content, and metadata (slug, category, author).
A URL-friendly string derived from the post title used in the post URL.
Aggregate top posts and share a weekly digest via email to subscribers.

Obtain an API key from the Blogs API and grant the Zapier App Connector the required scope emails/builder.readonly.
In Zapier, select the Blogs API app and authorize the connection, confirming permission scopes.
Create Zaps that trigger on new posts and route data to emails, schedules, and categories.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets apps create, fetch, update, and manage blog content, categories, and authors. It exposes endpoints to publish posts, check slug availability, and retrieve categories and authors for richer content workflows. When connected via the Zapier App Connector, you can automate these actions without writing code.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides prebuilt triggers and actions that cover common blog publishing and email workflows. For advanced scenarios, you can string multiple Zaps together to achieve complex automation without touching code.
Key endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create a post, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts. You may also interact with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
Yes. You can automate scheduling of posts and sending of emails by linking the Blogs API endpoints with the Emails API endpoints in Zapier, enabling timely publication and notifications without manual steps.
API keys are generated from the Blogs API dashboard. Create a new key, copy it securely, and paste it into Zapier when configuring the Blogs API app. Keep your keys secret and rotate them periodically for security.
You typically need the blogs/ endpoints for read/write access (e.g., blogs/posts, blogs/categories) plus emails/builder.readonly for email actions. The exact scopes depend on the endpoints you intend to use in your Zaps.
Documentation for the Blogs API endpoints is available on the Blogs API docs site. Zapier’s help center also provides step-by-step guides for connecting apps and building Zaps with the Blogs API.
