Heyflow authenticates to the Blogs API using a secure API key with scoped access. Store credentials safely and rotate keys as recommended.
Configure Heyflow outbound requests to include the API key and reuse stored credentials. Use environment variables and encrypted storage in production for security.
Key endpoints covered in this guide include a mix of emails and blogs endpoints you may use with Heyflow. Core blogs endpoints are POST /blogs/posts GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/post.write, blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/posts. Email related endpoints for automation include GET emails/builder POST emails/builder POST /emails/builder/data DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId and emails/schedule.readonly GET emails/schedule. Other relevant endpoints: blogs/category.readonly and GET /blogs/categories GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a Heyflow form is submitted to create a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts
Actions include mapping title content slug category and author fields and optionally attaching tags and images using blogs/post.write
POST /blogs/posts
Required fields title content slug categoryId authorId
Trigger to update an existing post when form data changes
Actions update fields via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId including title content and slug
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId title or content slug optional
Trigger when user selects category or author in Heyflow and create or update post accordingly
Actions fetch available categories and authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors then assign IDs on the post
POST /blogs/posts
categoryId authorId postId
Speed to market combine Heyflow with Blogs API to publish and update posts in minutes without developers
Consistency ensure content flows from a single source into emails landing pages and blogs
Flexibility automate workflows test and iterate with no code
This glossary defines the core terms for the Heyflow and Blogs API integration including endpoints triggers actions authentication and data fields
An API is a set of rules that lets Heyflow read and write data from the Blogs API
HTTP POST calls create new resources in Blogs API
HTTP GET calls fetch data from Blogs API such as posts categories and authors
HTTP PUT calls update existing blog posts and settings
When a Heyflow form is submitted a blog post draft is created in Blogs API and editors are notified
Use Heyflow responses to progressively enrich and update existing posts
Group related Heyflow responses into a single post and categorize automatically
Obtain your Blogs API key and required scopes and store securely
Connect to endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and map fields
Run tests verify slug checks and category author mappings and monitor results
No code or plugin development is required. You can connect Heyflow to Blogs API using built in actions HTTP requests and field mapping. Start with creating a new blog post from a form and extend later.
Begin with core blog endpoints like POST blogs/posts and PUT blogs/posts postId for updates. Also enable slug checks GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and fetch categories GET blogs/categories and authors GET blogs/authors as needed.
Use API keys stored securely and limit scopes to what you need. Prefer per environment secrets and rotate keys regularly. Use Heyflow encryption and secure storage.
Yes. You can automate publishing posts from Heyflow when a form is submitted or a lead qualifies. Use triggers to POST to blogs/posts and optionally publish status.
If you have existing posts you can migrate by creating posts with existing content using the blog post create endpoint. Map existing IDs and adjust metadata.
Yes. Use GET endpoints to populate category and author dropdowns in Heyflow forms. Keep mapping consistent with your Blogs API data.
Check your API plan for quotas and implement retry logic. Most integrations tolerate small limits but monitor usage and implement exponential backoff.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
