To use the Blogs API with Formspark, generate an API key or OAuth token and include it in your requests from Formspark. Follow the API docs for required scopes and grant types.
Formspark securely sends form data to the Blogs API. Use the configured webhook URL and include the necessary credentials to authorize your requests.
Key endpoints used include: POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, GET /blogs/authors to fetch authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories to fetch category data.
Trigger: when a submission is received in Formspark
Actions: create blog post via POST /blogs/posts, assign author, set slug, and category
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, author_id, category_id, slug
Trigger: edited form submission
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, refresh slug
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status
Trigger: new form submission with selected category
Actions: GET /blogs/categories, map category IDs to post.category
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name
No-code automation lets teams publish blog content directly from form submissions without custom development.

The method by which you prove your app can access the API, typically API keys or OAuth tokens.
A way for apps to send real-time data to each other via HTTP callbacks.
Trigger a new blog post whenever a form is submitted, including title and content from the form fields.
Use category data from the form to assign the proper blog category via the API.
Store drafts in a Formspark step and publish via the Blogs API when ready.
Create an API connection from Formspark to the Blogs API and authorize access.
Choose how form submissions map to blog posts or categories.
Run tests and deploy your workflow to production.
No coding is required. Use the built-in integrations to connect Formspark with the Blogs API. Start by creating an API connection in Formspark, then map fields to your blog fields. If you get stuck, consult the docs or reach out to support for step-by-step help.
Formspark can use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories, and GET /blogs/authors to pull author data. You’ll typically configure triggers in your form and map fields to blog fields.
Authentication issues are usually due to expired tokens or missing scopes. Re-check the API key, ensure the token has the blogs scope, and verify the endpoint URL. If problems persist, regenerate the token or contact support.
Yes. Map the form fields to blog fields in the action settings. For example, map the form title to blog post title and the content to the blog body.
The connection uses TLS encryption in transit and follows best practices for API security. Store tokens securely and rotate credentials periodically.
If you hit rate limits, stagger requests, cache results where possible, and check the API quota in your dashboard. Consider upgrading to a higher plan if needed.
API docs are available on the Blogs API developer site. Look for sections on authentication, endpoints, and example payloads.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
