Map Grain fields to Blog post fields and run a test flow
Yes. You will need access to both systems to connect them. In most cases you can register an app in the Blogs API developer portal and grant Grain the necessary permissions. Then test the connection from the Grain dashboard to confirm the integration is working. Two practical tips are to use sandbox data and start with read only scopes before enabling write permissions.
Absolutely. You can set a Grain trigger to create new posts and an automation to schedule or publish them. Start with a basic create post flow using POST /blogs/posts and iterate with updates as needed.
Typically you need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts for creation, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. You can also use GET /blogs/categories to organize content.
Testing is done from the Grain integration panel. Use a sandbox environment, run a test flow, and review the Logs to identify errors. Verify authentication tokens and endpoint paths.
Most integrations use API keys or OAuth-style tokens. Keep credentials secure, rotate as recommended, and use token refresh where available.
Rate limits depend on your plan. If you hit limits, implement exponential backoff and batch requests where possible.
Error logs appear in your Grain integration console and the Blogs API dashboard. Review status codes, error messages, and retry guidance to resolve issues.
