Authenticate your connection using OAuth 2.0 with the required scope: emails/builder.readonly. This ensures secure access to form submissions and blog data.
Google Forms authenticates via OAuth 2.0 or API keys as supported, enabling the secure submission of data to the Blogs API when users complete a form.
– GET emails/builder – POST /blogs/posts – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – GET /blogs/categories – GET /blogs/authors – POST /emails/builder/data – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Trigger: When a new Google Form submission is received
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create a post; map form fields to title, content, and slug
POST /blogs/posts
title: form_title, content: form_content, slug: form_slug
Trigger: form submission with a mapped postId
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update title or content
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content
Trigger: new or updated form response with category/author fields
Actions: fetch /blogs/categories and /blogs/authors to populate options, then map to post metadata
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId, form_category, form_author
Automate content workflows without writing code.
Map standard form fields to blog posts to reduce manual effort.
Publish new posts in real time as form responses arrive.
This glossary defines the terms and processes used to connect Google Forms with Blogs API.
An instance of a user submitting a response via Google Forms, which can trigger automated actions in the Blogs API when integrated.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from your post title, used in the post URL.
A single article created in your blog via the Blogs API with a title, content, and metadata.
A lightweight HTTP callback that notifies your system about events like form submissions or post updates.
Capture a week’s form responses and generate a concise roundup post automatically, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Route submissions to the correct blog category and tag authors based on form fields.
Auto-fill author bios from form responses and attach to each new post to enrich content.
In the Blogs API, create OAuth credentials with the required scope and copy client ID and secret to your integration tool.
Define mappings from Google Form fields (title, content, category, author) to blog post fields.
Submit test form responses, verify posts appear, then enable live automation.
Authentication is handled by creating an OAuth connection for the Blogs API and selecting the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Use the client ID and secret to establish the link, then test the connection to ensure secure data flow. If your setup supports API keys, you can use them as an alternative where allowed. Always follow best practices to protect credentials and rotate them periodically.
Form fields such as title, content, category, and author can be mapped to corresponding blog post fields. You can create multiple mappings to support different post templates. Use consistent field names in your form to simplify mapping and avoid data mismatches.
Yes. When a form is submitted, you can trigger the creation of a new blog post or update an existing one if a postId is provided. Real-time publishing ensures your content appears as soon as submissions come in. Consider adding validation to prevent duplicates.
Common errors include authentication failures, field mapping mismatches, and missing required post fields. To prevent duplicates, implement idempotent triggers or check for existing post slugs before creation. Use retries with exponential backoff for transient issues.
Typically you will use endpoints to create and update posts (POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). Other helpful endpoints include GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns and metadata. Email-related endpoints can be used to notify stakeholders when new posts are created.
Yes. You can attach category and author metadata by pulling available categories and authors from the Blogs API. Map form fields to categoryId and authorId to ensure accurate classification and author attribution in each post.
You can monitor the connection status via your integration tool’s diagnostics. Check API response codes, rate limits, and webhook events if used. Regularly review logs to confirm that submissions are triggering the intended actions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
