Authenticate to the Blogs API using a secure token that includes the required scopes for emails and blogs endpoints. Store credentials safely, rotate tokens regularly, and request additional scopes if you need to perform write actions.
Connect the Blogs API app in Zapier by providing OAuth client credentials or an API key, then authorize access. Zapier handles token refresh and secure storage so you can focus on building automations.
Endpoints include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; emails/schedule.readonly; POST /blogs/posts; POST blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/authors; blogs/author.readonly.

Answer: You do not necessarily need to be a developer, but you will need API credentials for the Blogs API. In Zapier, you can connect the Apps with OAuth or API keys and configure your first workflow without writing code. Always keep credentials secure and access limited to what is required. Two short paragraphs explaining setup help users understand access levels.
Answer: To create a post and an email template you will typically use POST /blogs/posts for posts and POST emails/builder for templates, plus supporting endpoints for data payloads (POST /emails/builder/data) and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Two paragraphs describing required fields and typical payload structure.
Answer: Authentication in Zapier is handled via the Blogs API app within Zapier. You’ll provide client credentials or an API key, select the required scopes, and Zapier will manage token refresh. Two paragraphs with practical steps to connect and verify access.
Answer: Endpoint rate limits exist; consult your API plan for specifics. Plan for retries with exponential backoff in your Zap. Two paragraphs explaining best practices.
Answer: Use Zapier’s test mode and sample data to validate triggers and actions, then monitor task history after deployment. Two paragraphs detailing testing steps and monitoring tips.
