Begin by securing an access token for the Blogs API and granting your Zapier App Connector the required scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and blogs capabilities. Use OAuth 2.0 where supported or API keys from your developer dashboard.
Configure the Zapier app to authenticate with the Blogs API. Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.
GET emails/builder — fetch email templates; POST emails/builder — create templates; POST /emails/builder/data — update template data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId — remove a template; GET emails/schedule — view schedules; GET /blogs/posts — list posts; POST /blogs/posts — create a post; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — update a post; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — check slug availability; GET /blogs/categories — list categories; GET /blogs/authors — list authors
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API.
Actions: publish to social channels, add to content calendar, notify teams.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, datePublished, author
Trigger when a new or updated email template is created in Blogs API.
Actions: fetch template details, push to campaigns, trigger email sends.
GET /emails/builder
templateId, name, subject, body
Trigger when checking slug existence before publish.
Actions: validate slug, create or update post, notify channels.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId, title
No-code automation lets teams build workflows without writing code.
Pre-built endpoints for templates, posts, and scheduling simplify setup.
Seamless data flow between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector enables consistent publishing.
This glossary defines API terms, endpoints, and common concepts used in this integration.
A URL that you call to perform an action (e.g., GET /blogs/posts).
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links and routing.
Authorization framework to obtain access tokens securely.
A URL to receive event notifications from a service.
Whenever a new post is created in Blogs API, automatically push updates to your social accounts via Zapier.
When a template is added or updated in Blogs API, send it to your email marketing workflow in Zapier.
Route draft posts through an approval step and publish automatically after approval.
Obtain credentials and authorize the apps to access Blogs API resources.
Configure triggers and actions in Zapier’s workflow builder to match endpoints like /blogs/posts and /emails/builder.
Run tests, verify data flow, and enable automation in production.
The available endpoints span templates, posts, schedules, categories, and authors. Core endpoints include GET /blogs/posts to list posts, POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. Email-related endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder/data enable template management. This mix supports both content and email workflows from a single integration.\nFor production apps, consult the endpoint list and choose only the endpoints you need to minimize scope and maintain security.
To authenticate, generate an access token for the Blogs API and configure OAuth 2.0 in Zapier App Connector. Use the required scopes noted in your project (e.g., emails/builder.readonly for template access). Store credentials securely and rotate keys regularly.\nIf your setup uses API keys, ensure they are transmitted securely via HTTPS and kept private. Separate environments (dev/stage/prod) help prevent accidental data changes.
Yes. You can schedule posts or emails by leveraging endpoints like GET /blogs/posts for listing and POST /blogs/posts for creating timed entries, combined with scheduling features in Zapier. For emails, you can schedule template sends via the email builder endpoints and your marketing tools.\nAlways test schedules in a sandbox before going live to confirm timing and recipients.
emails/builder endpoints deal with email templates and their data, while blogs endpoints manage blog posts, categories, and authors. The former powers email campaigns; the latter powers content publishing. Both can be connected to Zapier to automate workflows, but they serve distinct content types.\nUnderstanding this distinction helps you map triggers and actions more precisely in your automation.
No extensive coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to map triggers, actions, and data fields. You may need to configure authentication, endpoint selection, and field mappings. For complex logic, you can add simple filters and paths within Zapier flows.\nIf you run into edge cases, you can leverage custom code steps in Zapier as a fallback, but it is not necessary for basic scenarios.
Required permissions depend on the endpoints you plan to use. At minimum, the Blogs API uses scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and relevant blogs permissions (read/write for posts, categories, and authors). Ensure your OAuth token includes these scopes and that your app has access to the necessary resources.\nRegularly review token scopes and rotate credentials to maintain security alignment with your data access needs.
Testing the connection involves authenticating, selecting the endpoints you intend to use, and performing a dry run of a few sample requests. Verify that responses return expected data and that triggers fire correctly in Zapier.\nAfter successful tests, enable the workflow in production and monitor for any errors or retries to keep automations reliable.
