Use OAuth 2.0 credentials or API keys provided in your Blogs API developer dashboard to securely authorize requests.
Formstack Documents uses your chosen authentication method to securely receive data from Blogs API and perform actions.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors;
Trigger when a new draft is created in Formstack Documents and use Blogs API to create a corresponding post automatically.
Actions: create blog posts with POST /blogs/posts, update drafts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and attach summaries to Formstack emails.
Use POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update existing posts.
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categories, status.
Trigger when a blog post is updated in Blogs API, then pull the changes into Formstack Documents for document generation.
Actions: fetch updated post data (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/posts) and regenerate PDFs or doc templates.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify identity, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to reflect updates.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, lastModified.
Trigger when a post is approved in Blogs API, then generate a final document in Formstack Documents and distribute via email templates.
Actions: assemble final document from templates, align with emails/builder templates, and use POST /emails/builder/data to attach content.
Involve endpoints for emails and blogs where appropriate, such as POST /emails/builder/data and GET /blogs/categories.
Key fields: postId, templateId, locationId, recipientList, emailSubject.

When you draft content in Formstack Documents, automatically create a corresponding blog draft in Blogs API to keep content synchronized.
Convert blog posts into printable PDFs via templates and attach them to email campaigns.
Use endpoint data to tag posts and assign categories automatically, then publish to channels via Formstack Documents templates.
Obtain API keys or OAuth credentials from Blogs API and set up your app connection in Formstack Documents.
Select endpoints like POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to drive your flows.
Run end-to-end tests with sample posts to verify data moves correctly from Blogs API to Formstack Documents.
The Blogs API provides endpoints to manage blog posts, categories, and authors. You can connect this API to Formstack Documents to automate document generation, email delivery, and PDFs from your blog content. This integration uses no-code automation to trigger actions based on posts, drafts, or templates. Set up secure authentication and map fields between systems to start automating.
No, you don’t need to write code. This guide shows how to use the Zapier App Connector and pre-built endpoints to create workflows with drag-and-drop logic. You configure triggers, actions, and field mappings in plain language. If you need deeper custom logic, you can still extend with small scripts outside the tool.
For basic post creation you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts and update with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Slug checks can use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists or GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly. For content generation, you may also pull category and author data via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Use the test feature in your integration tool to simulate a new post and verify the data flows to Formstack Documents. Check field mappings, endpoint responses, and any authentication tokens. Review logs for errors and adjust mappings as needed.
Yes. Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content, title, or slug after creation. You can also trigger re-generation of documents or emails when a post changes. Ensure your App has proper write permissions for updates.
Most integrations support API keys and OAuth 2.0. The choice depends on your security needs and how you manage credentials. API keys are quick to set up, while OAuth provides token-based access with refresh capabilities.
Endpoint documentation is provided in your Blogs API developer portal. You can browse available endpoints, request keys, and review sample requests and responses. The Guides section often contains code-free workflows you can adapt.
