To securely connect the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector, establish a trusted authentication flow (OAuth 2.0 or API keys) scoped to the endpoints you plan to use, ensuring tokens are stored securely and rotated regularly.
Zapier App Connector supports OAuth 2.0 and API key methods. Configure credentials in the Apps area and authorize access to your Blogs API resources for seamless, secure automation.
Core endpoints used in this integration include: – API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder – API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write – API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder – API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data – API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly – API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule – API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write – API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts – API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write – API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly – API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly – API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories – API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly – API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog post is created in Blogs API, initiating a real-time workflow in Zapier.
Actions: Create or update the post in your CMS, publish to social channels, and notify teams via email or Slack.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: title, content, slug, category, authorId, status
Trigger: Daily or hourly sync to ensure posts are up-to-date across platforms.
Actions: Bulk create/update posts, archive outdated entries, and refresh category/author metadata.
Methods/Paths: POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug, postId, title
Trigger: Draft slug generation prompts a validation check before publishing.
Actions: Validate slug via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and create if available; otherwise adjust slug.
Methods/Paths: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: slug

Blogs API supports OAuth 2.0 and API key authentication. Use OAuth for user-level access and API keys for service-to-service connections. Always store credentials securely and rotate them regularly. In Zapier App Connector, configure the chosen method in the authentication tab and test the connection. For best results, scope tokens to the specific endpoints you’ll use (e.g., posts and categories) to minimize exposure and improve security.
Common endpoints for blog post management include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, and GET /blogs/categories to fetch categories. You can also use GET /blogs/authors to associate posts with authors and GET /blogs/posts to list posts as needed. Combine these with endpoints for slug checks and category/author lookups to build robust publishing workflows.
No, you don’t need to be a developer to use Zapier App Connector. The connector provides a no-code interface to authenticate and map fields between Blogs API and your apps. However, a basic understanding of endpoints and data fields helps you design effective workflows quickly. If you run into limits, you can consult the API docs and adjust scopes or payload formats accordingly within Zapier.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. In Zapier, you can implement retries with exponential backoff and design idempotent workflows to handle duplicates. Monitor run history in Zapier and the API provider’s dashboard to adjust polling frequencies and batch sizes as needed. Caching and selective field mappings also help reduce unnecessary requests and improve reliability.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. If the slug is taken, adjust the slug (e.g., add a date or unique suffix) and recheck. This helps prevent duplicate content and preserves SEO value.
Scheduling is possible by designing a workflow that triggers at set intervals (e.g., daily digest or timed publication). You can create posts in advance and release them on a schedule by combining the Blogs API endpoints with Zapier’s scheduler or delay actions. Always test scheduled runs to ensure time zones and publish times align with your content calendar.
Field mapping involves aligning Blogs API data (title, content, slug, category, author) with the corresponding fields in Zapier actions. Use Zapier’s built-in mapping to convert and validate data types, and add transform steps if needed (e.g., slug sanitization or date formatting). Test each step to ensure data flows correctly from trigger to action.
