The Blogs API is a structured interface that lets you create, read, update, and manage blog content. When connected to Flodesk, you can automatically trigger email campaigns based on new posts and post updates. Authentication is performed via API keys or secure tokens to ensure only authorized applications can access content. To get started, obtain your API key, assign the blog read/write scopes you need, and store credentials securely.
You can authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens, depending on how your environment is set up. Ensure your tokens are kept confidential and rotated regularly. When establishing the Flodesk connection, configure the credentials in your automation tool so requests from Flodesk to Blogs API are signed and verified. This helps prevent unauthorized access while enabling seamless automation.
Essential endpoints for posting new blog entries include POST /blogs/posts to publish content and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness. Additional supporting endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help populate post metadata for richer campaigns. You can also verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing.
Yes. By using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, you can update existing posts and automatically propagate changes to linked Flodesk campaigns. This ensures your email content remains aligned with the latest post title, excerpt, and body. You can trigger updates from your CMS or via a webhook from Blogs API.
When an API error occurs, review the response payload for error codes and messages. Implement retry logic for transient issues and use fallback flows to notify your team. Logging and alerting help diagnose authentication failures, rate limits, or missing fields in your requests.
No-code connections generally require a suitable plan that supports API access and automation. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access blogs data and create campaigns in Flodesk. If your plan restricts endpoints or reads, upgrade accordingly to enable full integration.
The no-code approach saves time by automating content publishing and email distribution. It reduces manual data transfers, improves accuracy, and provides real-time visibility into how posts drive engagement. You can iterate on campaigns quickly without writing custom code.
