Authenticate to the Blogs API using the credentials for your app. Use the provided scope and secure storage for access tokens. Follow the recommended OAuth 2.0 flow or API key method to obtain access.
Connect your Zapier account to the Blogs API by granting permissions to the available endpoints. Store tokens securely and rotate credentials as recommended.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/categories; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Trigger on new blog posts to auto-create and queue emails using the Email Builder endpoints.
Actions include assembling email content from post data and scheduling delivery via the emails/schedule and related endpoints.
Common methods used: GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST emails/builder to create emails, and POST /emails/builder/data to insert content.
templateId, locationId, postId, subject, body, slug
Trigger on updates to a blog post; use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify a slug.
Actions cover create and update posts, assign categories and authors, and publish status.
Methods include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger during drafting to ensure slug uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Actions validate slug availability and map to the correct category via GET /blogs/categories and related endpoints.
Methods used: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
slug, postId, categoryId
Automate repetitive publishing tasks without writing code.
Keep blog and email content consistent by mapping fields once and reusing across workflows.
Move faster with templates, triggers, and testable flows that scale with your content calendar.
This section covers API endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and data fields used to connect and automate workflows between the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface that allows applications to communicate and share data.
A specific URL and HTTP method for a function exposed by an API.
The process of verifying identity to access an API, typically via tokens or keys.
A URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs.
Publish a new post and automatically generate and send an email to subscribers.
Publish in your blog and instantly post summaries to social channels and email.
Auto-create draft snippets and previews for editors based on post content.
Connect your accounts and grant permissions to access Blogs API endpoints.
Align blog fields to email templates and define endpoint usage.
Run tests, verify data flow, and activate automations.
Absolutely. No coding is required thanks to the no-code interface and predefined actions that map Blog data to email templates. If you do need advanced logic, you can add simple conditional steps or utilize additional connectors to customize behavior.
Common workflows typically involve endpoints for creating and updating blog posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) along with retrieval endpoints like GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories. For email automation, use GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, and POST /emails/builder/data to assemble and dispatch email content.
To test, enable the Zapier test mode, run a sample post creation, and verify the data flow from Blogs API to the email builder and back. Use the endpoint test tools in the app to simulate triggers and validate mappings before going live.
Yes. You can customize email templates during setup by selecting the template, then mapping blog fields to subject and body. If needed, you can edit templates later in the email builder and re-run mappings without touching code.
Data security is handled via standard OAuth2 or API key authentication, encrypted connections, and token rotation. Keep access tokens in a secure vault, follow least-privilege scopes, and audit endpoint usage regularly.
Yes. The connectors support scheduling for both blog post publications and email deliveries, so you can align with your content calendar. Set up triggers and delays in Zapier to publish posts and send emails at planned times.
Endpoint documentation is available in the developer portal for the Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector, including endpoint paths and required fields. You can also access live updates and version notes to stay current on new endpoints and capabilities.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
