Access to the Blogs API is controlled via tokens with defined scopes. Use the supplied credentials to obtain an access token and apply the scope that matches your needed permissions (for example, emails/builder.readonly as a reference scope). Store tokens securely and rotate them regularly to maintain a trusted connection.
To connect Granola to Blogs API, register the Granola app to receive client credentials, configure redirect or callback URLs, and test the connection with a lightweight request. Keep client secrets secure and use token-based authentication for ongoing requests.

Trigger: A Granola article is updated
Action: Update the corresponding blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with new title, content, or metadata
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: Preparing to publish a new article
Action: Verify slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; proceed to create if available
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Automate content publishing without writing code, reducing manual steps
Seamless data flow between Granola and Blogs API for accurate post data
Scalable workflows that adapt as your content strategy grows
Essential terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating Granola with the Blogs API, including endpoints, data fields, and workflow triggers.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that lets apps talk to each other and access functionality.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in the blog URL.
A specific URL in an API that exposes a resource or action.
A mechanism for one app to send real-time data to another app when a specified event occurs.
Automatically publish approved Granola drafts to a new blog post in Blogs API using POST /blogs/posts.
Attach images and media URLs from Granola to blog posts via the Blogs API media fields.
Automatically move completed posts to an archive category or repurpose content through Blog API fields.
Register Granola with the Blogs API to obtain client credentials and set the required scopes for your use case.
Store tokens securely, test the connection, and handle token refresh flows for uninterrupted access.
Align Granola data fields (title, content, slug, author, category) with the corresponding Blogs API fields for accurate data transfer.
You typically authenticate using token-based OAuth. Obtain an access token with the appropriate scopes for your tasks, then include the token in the Authorization header of each request. Rotate tokens regularly and implement error handling for expired tokens. This keeps connections secure and reliable. If you’re using a no-code tool, store the token securely in a vault or secret manager and use built-in retry logic to handle intermittent network issues.
To publish a blog post from Granola, you’ll primarily use POST /blogs/posts to create the post with fields such as title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryId. You may also need GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate the slug before creation. Depending on your workflow, you might also update posts later with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Slug checks help prevent conflicts. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify whether a slug is already in use. If the slug exists, modify it (for example, by adding a suffix) and retry. This reduces publishing errors and maintains clean URLs.
No heavy coding is required if you use Zapier or another integration platform. You can configure the workflow with triggers, actions, and field mappings using the available endpoints. A basic understanding of REST concepts and field mapping is enough to build functional automations.
Scopes like blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write govern your access to create and modify posts, while blogs/category.readonly and blogs/author.readonly let you read categories and authors. For template-related actions, you’ll rely on emails/builder scopes or equivalent templates endpoints depending on your setup.
To update a published post, run PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the updated fields. Ensure the postId matches the target post, and validate that required fields (title or content) are present. After a successful update, you may trigger a downstream workflow to refresh caches or notify subscribers.
If a sync fails, first check token validity and endpoint accessibility. Verify the correct endpoint, method, and required fields. Review error messages for hints about rate limits or malformed data, fix the issue, and retry. Implement retry logic and logging to diagnose recurring issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
