Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate Groove with the Blogs API?

Authenticating Groove with the Blogs API typically involves using an access token or API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically to mitigate risk. Use OAuth where available to grant limited, revocable permissions for your integration.

Begin with core endpoints that manage templates and posts: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, and POST /blogs/posts. These provide the foundations for automating email campaigns and blog publishing from Groove. Then expand to metadata endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich content.

Yes. You can create blog posts via the API using POST /blogs/posts and later update them with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Groove can trigger these calls from workflows, allowing seamless content publication from your campaigns.

Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and keeps your blog structure clean.

No custom coding is required for standard workflows. Groove provides triggers, actions, and field mappings that connect to the Blogs API endpoints. For advanced scenarios, you can extend via custom fields or additional endpoints as needed.

Sync frequency depends on how you configure workflows. You can set near real-time triggers for new posts or schedule periodic checks (via the Blogs API schedule-related endpoints) to keep content and campaigns aligned.

The endpoint list appears in the integration guide under the endpoint section. Start with the core templates and posts endpoints, then explore metadata endpoints like authors and categories as you expand your workflows.
