Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 and API keys with defined scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write. Use refresh tokens to maintain access and store credentials securely for uninterrupted automations.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to Blogs API. Grant the requested scopes, test the connection, and enable token renewal to keep workflows flowing.

Answer 1: You authenticate using OAuth 2.0 and API keys with scopes appropriate for emails and blogs. Obtain an access token and refresh it as needed. Store credentials securely and renew tokens automatically to keep automations running. The process is designed to work smoothly with Zapier App Connector.
Answer 2: The Emails endpoints include GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, and DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId. These allow reading templates, creating and updating email content, and deleting templates when needed.
Answer 3: Yes. You can schedule blog posts using endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and update scheduling with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Zapier can trigger these actions based on your chosen workflow schedule.
Answer 4: No coding is required. Use Zapier App Connector’s visual editor to configure triggers, actions, and field mappings and test your automation.
Answer 5: Required fields typically include post title, content, author, category, and publish date. Depending on the endpoint, you may also need slug or status fields.
Answer 6: Use Zapier’s field mapping to align source app fields with Blogs API endpoints. Map title, content, metadata, and publish details to the corresponding API fields.
Answer 7: API rate limits are documented in the developer portal. Design back off and retry logic and cache frequent reads to stay within limits.
