Generate an API key in Blogs API settings, grant the scope emails/builder.readonly, and connect it to the Zapier App Connector for secure access.
Zapier App Connector authenticates via OAuth 2.0 tokens or API credentials. Store credentials securely and refresh as needed.

How we securely connect Blogs API to the Zapier App Connector.
A URL path used to perform a specific action in the Blogs API.
An event in an app that starts a Zap in Zapier.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post.
Automatically publish posts after drafts are approved by coordinating POST /blogs/posts and status updates.
Pull author data and latest posts to populate email templates and campaigns.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs before publishing.
Enter your API key, select scope emails/builder.readonly, and secure the connection.
Choose triggers and actions using endpoints like GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Run tests, verify slug checks, and ensure authors and categories sync correctly.
Authentication uses an API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) to securely access Blogs API from Zapier App Connector. Keep keys secret and rotate them periodically. If you encounter permission errors, reauthorize the connection and confirm scopes are correctly set.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with taxonomy and author data.
To check a slug, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug value. If the slug exists, you should adjust the slug or content before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate posts and broken links.
Yes. The integration supports reading email templates and schedules via GET emails/builder and GET emails/schedule, enabling you to coordinate email campaigns alongside blog publishing.
Authors and categories are retrieved through GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. You can reference them when composing posts and aligning content with taxonomy for better organization in campaigns.
Limits depend on your Blogs API plan and Zapier quota. Monitor API usage within Blogs API settings and leverage batching where possible to stay within limits.
If a connection fails, reauthenticate, verify scopes, test endpoints individually, and review API response messages. Check network connectivity and ensure the Zapier app is allowed to reach the Blogs API host.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
