Authenticate to the Blogs API using an API key or OAuth token. Ensure the token has the correct scope and is kept securely. The required scope aligns with emails/builder.readonly in this setup.
Frill uses the connected API credentials to authorize actions with the Blogs API. Keep credentials in a secure vault and apply least-privilege access.
GET emails/builder; GET blogs/posts; POST blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; POST /blogs/categories; POST /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new post is created in Frill
Actions: Publish to Blogs via POST /blogs/posts and populate title, content, and slug
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author
Trigger: Frill post is updated
Actions: Update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, content
Trigger: Frill creates a new category or author
Actions: Create via POST /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/authors
POST /blogs/categories; POST /blogs/authors
Key fields: categoryName, authorName, authorId
Automate publishing and updates with no code using Frill workflows.
Keep your blog metadata in sync across tools without custom development.
Speed up publishing, improve consistency, and scale content operations.
Common elements and processes you’ll encounter when integrating Frill with the Blogs API, including endpoints, authentication, mapping metadata, and error handling.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against a service.
An open standard for access tokens that authorize API requests without sharing passwords.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in web addresses for SEO.
A callback URL that receives real-time updates from a service.
Whenever a new project is added in Frill, automatically draft a blog post in Blogs API with a title and outline, then queue for review.
Push publish dates from Frill calendars into Blogs API to automatically publish at the scheduled times.
Sync slug, tags, and categories as posts evolve in Frill to keep SEO intact.
In Blogs API, create an API key with the necessary scope and take note of the key securely.
Paste the API key and endpoints into Frill’s integration settings and test the connection.
Run a test publish and verify data flows to Blogs API without errors; monitor for failures.
Authentication uses a secure API key or OAuth token. Generate a key in the Blogs API dashboard with the required scopes and store it securely. Rotate credentials regularly and keep access restricted to your Frill integration. In requests, include the token in the Authorization header. For example, Authorization: Bearer {token}. If you use scoped tokens, ensure the scope covers the endpoints you plan to call, such as blogs and categories. The provided scope in this guide is emails/builder.readonly to align with the example setup.
Publish-related endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. For retrieving metadata, use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map categories and authors before publishing. Combine these with your Frill triggers to create smooth publishing workflows.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to retrieve existing metadata, and POST /blogs/authors and POST /blogs/categories to create new items as needed. Map Frill authors and categories to the Blogs API fields so posts publish with correct attribution and taxonomy.
Check slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating or updating a post. If a slug already exists, modify it or append a unique suffix to avoid duplicates. This protects your SEO-friendly URLs and prevents content collisions.
You can often set this up with no code using Frill’s built-in workflows or a no-code automation tool. Define triggers (for example, new Frill project created) and actions (call Blogs API endpoints). If you need advanced logic, small scripts can be added, but many setups work with drag-and-drop automation.
Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Typical limits are sufficient for automated publishing in most workflows, but if you anticipate bursts, request higher quotas or implement backoff and retries in your automation to avoid failed calls.
Handle errors with clear logging and retry policies. Check HTTP status codes, inspect error messages from the Blogs API, and implement exponential backoff. Ensure your authentication token is valid and not expired, and validate payloads for required fields before sending.
