Set up authentication to allow Epson Connect to call Blogs API endpoints. Use your API key and the specified scopes to grant access (scopes include emails/builder.readonly).
Authorize Epson Connect to access your Blogs API resources with the proper permissions and scoped access for safe operation.
The integration leverages endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to manage posts, authors, categories, and slug validation.
Trigger: A new draft in Epson Connect creates a blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to publish posts, including title, content, slug, status, and metadata.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, status, authorId, categories
Trigger: Updates to authors or categories in Epson Connect trigger sync in Blogs API.
Actions: Fetch authors via GET /blogs/authors and categories via GET /blogs/categories to keep metadata aligned.
GET /blogs/authors
Key fields: authorId, name, bio, avatar
Trigger: When drafting a post, check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publish.
Actions: Validate slug, then publish with POST /blogs/posts or update existing with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, postId, status

Understand endpoints, triggers, actions, and methods used to connect Epson Connect with Blogs API.
An article published in the Blogs API, created via POST /blogs/posts and managed through standard metadata.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform an action (e.g., POST /blogs/posts).
An event that starts an automation workflow (e.g., a new draft in Epson Connect).
An operation executed as part of a workflow (e.g., publishing a post via POST /blogs/posts).
Generate weekly roundup posts from Epson Connect drafts and publish through Blogs API.
Push new posts to email campaigns or Slack channels via endpoints.
Suggest SEO-friendly slugs and validate existence before publishing.
Obtain your API key and set the proper scope (emails/builder.readonly) for read-only operations.
Map endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/authors, and GET /blogs/categories to your Zapier app.
Test triggers in a sandbox environment, review logs, then enable live connections.
You can achieve this without custom code using GHL’s built-in Zapier connector. It provides triggers and actions that you can configure with a few clicks. If you need more control, you can switch to code-free paths or add simple scripts.
Essential endpoints for posting include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Slug validation via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicates.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check for existing slugs. If the slug exists, modify or add a unique suffix to ensure a unique URL.
Syncing authors and categories can be done by regularly pulling data from GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then mapping to your app. Schedule periodic syncs or trigger-based updates.
Common methods include API key-based authentication or OAuth. Use the scope emails/builder.readonly to read email-related data and scheduling information as needed.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test mode in the API and Zapier connector to simulate triggers and actions without affecting live data.
Rate limits vary by plan. Check the API docs for current quotas and backoff guidelines; implement retries and exponential backoff in your workflow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
