To secure access, use OAuth2 or API keys issued by the Blogs API and configure credentials in the Zapier App Connector. Ensure you grant the required scope, such as emails/builder.readonly, and test the connection.
Set up OAuth2 or an API key in the Zapier App Connector to securely access the Blogs API. Verify the connection and test actions like post creation and email scheduling.
Endpoints used include: GET emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/post.write; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger: A new or drafted post in your CMS is ready; Zapier uses the Blogs API to create or update the post via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Actions: Create a new post, update the slug, publish, and assign categories and author with the Blogs API endpoints.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Required fields: title, content, slug, status, categories, and authorId.
Trigger: Publish date is reached; automatically queue or send an email using the Emails Builder endpoints.
Actions: Create an email template, schedule or send, and link to the post slug for dynamic content.
Method paths: POST emails/builder; GET emails/schedule
Fields: recipientList, subject, body, postSlug, sendDate.
Trigger: New author or category is added in your source and pushed to Blogs API.
Actions: Create or update authors (/blogs/authors) and categories (/blogs/categories).
Method paths: GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories
Fields: for authors — name, slug, bio; for categories — name, slug, description.

Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets software applications communicate with each other.
A URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs to improve readability and SEO.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
A mechanism for apps to push real-time data by notifying another app when an event occurs.
Set up a Zap to watch for new emails and convert key content into a blog post via POST /blogs/posts.
Pull post metrics from Blogs API and display alongside email analytics.
Aggregate weekly posts and send a digest to subscribers using email templates.
Obtain API key or OAuth client from Blogs API and configure in the Zapier App Connector settings.
Map the posts, authors, categories endpoints and required fields in Zapier.
Run tests, monitor logs, and deploy your workflow to production.
No code is required to get started. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder that maps fields from Blogs API endpoints to your Zapier actions. You will typically configure credentials, select the endpoints you need (such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/authors), and set up test runs to confirm data flows correctly. If you are integrating with email notifications, you can reuse templates and schedules without writing server-side code.
Essential endpoints for publishing are POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to assign taxonomy properly. For associated emails, endpoints like POST emails/builder and GET emails/schedule help you coordinate announcements with new posts.
Slug existence checks prevent duplicate URLs. Call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the candidate slug; if it exists, adjust your slug or handle versioning. This ensures clean, SEO-friendly URLs for each post. Automate fallback logic in Zapier to auto-increment or modify the slug if needed.
Yes. The Email Builder endpoints can be used to schedule and send blog notifications. Create an email template, schedule it, and link the postSlug so recipients see the latest post details. This enables timely updates without manual sending.
Connections should use standard OAuth2 or API keys with scoped permissions. Always store credentials securely in Zapier and rotate keys periodically. Use HTTPS and verify token scopes match the required operations.
Authors and categories can be managed via the corresponding endpoints. Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to fetch data, and POST/PUT operations to create or update records as needed. This keeps taxonomy aligned across posts.
Start with a test workflow in a staging environment, verify each endpoint response, and monitor logs for errors. Validate data mapping between Blogs API fields and Zapier actions, then gradually deploy to production with monitoring alerts.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
