To begin, obtain your Blogs API credentials and configure a secure connection in Zapier App Connector so requests are signed and authorized.
Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key to authenticate the Zapier App Connector and grant required scopes for creating, updating, and listing blogs.
– GET emails/builder\n- emails/builder.write\n- POST emails/builder\n- POST /emails/builder/data\n- DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId\n- emails/schedule.readonly\n- GET emails/schedule\n- blogs/post.write\n- POST /blogs/posts\n- blogs/post-update.write\n- PUT /blogs/posts/:postId\n- blogs/check-slug.readonly\n- GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists\n- blogs/category.readonly\n- GET /blogs/categories\n- blogs/author.readonly\n- GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new article is created in your source system and ready to publish.
Actions: post a new blog entry to Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts and map title, content, slug, and categories.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categories
Trigger: an existing post is updated in the source or CMS.
Actions: update post in Blogs API via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and maintain slug.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: new post creation requires slug validation.
Actions: verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetch post details if exists.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Fast setup without developers; drag-and-drop automation between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Automate cross-system content publishing and updates.
Centralize content workflows across teams with shared automations.
This section defines authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping used in the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration.
An Application Programming Interface (API) defines how software components communicate, enabling the Blogs API and Zapier App Connector to exchange data.
An endpoint is a specific URL in the Blogs API that performs a listed operation (e.g., create post, check slug).
A trigger is an event in one system that starts a Zap in Zapier (e.g., new blog post created).
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier used to locate a specific blog post.
Example: When a new article is published in your CMS, automatically create a corresponding post in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts.
Schedule posts to publish at set times by connecting to a calendar service.
Keep author info and categories consistent by syncing between apps using endpoints like GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
In Zapier, create a connection to Blogs API by providing credentials and completing the OAuth2 or API key flow.
Select a trigger (e.g., New Post) and an action (e.g., Create Post), then map fields between apps.
Run tests, verify data flows, and deploy your automation to ensure reliability.
The Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector lets you automate content workflows without custom code. You connect your Blogs API account, authenticate securely, and choose triggers and actions to move data between systems. This makes publishing, updating, and organizing posts faster and more reliable.
Yes. You will typically use OAuth2 or an API key to authenticate, depending on how your organization configures access. Prepare your app credentials and grant the necessary scopes for reading and writing blog content.
Supported authentication methods include OAuth2 and API keys. OAuth2 supports user consent and token refresh; API keys provide a straightforward approach for server-to-server integrations.
Common endpoints for content publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. Slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) help avoid duplicates.
Yes. Use field mapping in Zapier to align title, content, slug, and categories between Blogs API and your source app. You can transform data in Zapier before sending it to the endpoint.
Rate limits can apply based on your plan. Plan accordingly and implement retries and exponential backoff in your Zap to handle transient limits gracefully.
Use the built-in test feature in Zapier to simulate triggers and actions, review payloads, and confirm successful posts to Blogs API before enabling the automation in production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
