Access to the Blogs API requires a valid token or API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly (as applicable). Store credentials securely in Zapier and refresh tokens on a regular cadence to avoid interruptions.
Freedcamp connects to external APIs using OAuth or API tokens. In this integration, you’ll configure a secure connection in Zapier, rotate credentials every 90 days, and keep access limited to the necessary scopes for blogging and project management tasks.

No coding required—build automations with Zapier to sync blog content and Freedcamp tasks in minutes.
Streamlined content workflows keep teams aligned, with updates flowing in near real-time.
Rapid setup, easy maintenance, and the ability to adjust mappings as your blog and project needs evolve.
This glossary covers API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and common data fields used to connect Blogs API with Freedcamp.
A specific URL path that performs a defined action in the Blogs API, enabling data retrieval or updates.
The method by which apps prove identity to access the API, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
A mechanism for receiving real-time notifications when data changes in connected apps.
HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE used to interact with API endpoints.
Automatically convert new blog drafts into Freedcamp tasks with due dates and assignees mapped from blog metadata.
Push status changes from Freedcamp back to a live blog post to reflect review and publishing progress.
Sync blog categories and author lists to Freedcamp so teams can tag and organize content consistently.
Obtain a valid API token or OAuth credentials for Blogs API, then configure the connection in Zapier with the required scopes.
Create triggers for new blog posts, updates, or new categories/authors that should start automations.
Define actions to create or update Freedcamp tasks and blog posts, mapping fields like title, slug, author, and dates.
No coding is required. Use Zapier’s visual builder to connect the Blogs API to Freedcamp and set triggers and actions with simple drag-and-drop steps. You can create multi-step workflows that run automatically without writing code. If you need more control, you can customize data mappings and conditionals within Zapier to tailor the flow to your team’s needs.
The Blogs API typically uses token-based authentication (OAuth or API keys). You’ll generate credentials in the API dashboard and store them securely in Zapier. Rotate credentials periodically to maintain security.
For a basic blog-to-task workflow, essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to pull reference data. You can extend with POST /blogs/post-update.write for incremental updates.
Map fields such as title, slug, author, publishDate, and a Freedcamp project/task identifier. Use Zapier’s field mapping to ensure blog metadata flows correctly into Freedcamp tasks with due dates and assignees.
API rate limits vary by plan. Monitor your calls in Zapier task history and implement throttling or batching if needed. If limits are reached, stagger cron-like triggers or add filters to reduce unnecessary calls.
Yes. When a Freedcamp task updates (e.g., status changes), you can push updates back to the blog post using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or blogs/post-update.write to reflect the latest state.
If something goes wrong, check the connected accounts in Zapier, verify credentials and scopes, review the endpoint paths for accuracy, and consult the API’s status page. You can also enable detailed logging in Zapier to pinpoint where the failure occurs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
