To begin, obtain your Blogs API credentials and configure them securely in the Zapier App Connector. Use strong keys and rotate them regularly.
Within the App Connector, add a connection by supplying client credentials or an API key, then run a quick test to verify access.
Endpoint examples you may use: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. This list covers communications, scheduling, and blog content workflows without requiring code.
Trigger: when a new draft is created or updated in Blogs API.
Actions: publish, update slug, and schedule posts.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId.
Trigger: a new post is published; send notifications via emails/builder.
Actions: send templated emails, log delivery, update templates.
Method path: POST /emails/builder/data to fill templates; GET /emails/builder to preview.
Fields: templateId, locationId, postSlug, subject, body.
Trigger: content updates in Blogs API (new posts, changes to categories or authors).
Actions: sync posts, categories, and authors into Zapier for downstream workflows.
Methods: GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Fields: postId, categoryId, authorId, slug.
No coding required — build powerful workflows with clicks, not code.
Centralized endpoints simplify maintenance and updates.
Faster time‑to‑value with templates, triggers, and templates.
A quick glossary of elements, processes, triggers, actions, and endpoints used when connecting Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
A specific URL path that performs a function when called by an app.
An event that starts a workflow in another system.
An operation performed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating data.
A URL‑friendly identifier used in post URLs and SEO.
Automate scheduled publishing of drafts using Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Pull author data via /blogs/authors and populate author bios in your CMS automatically.
Check slug existence with /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and update with /blogs/posts as needed.
Create a connection by providing your Blogs API credentials and authenticating in the Zapier App Connector.
Configure triggers and actions in Zapier using the available endpoints.
Run tests, verify data integrity, and deploy the workflow to production.
No coding is required for basic workflows using the Zapier App Connector. You can connect Blogs API and configure triggers and actions with a visual editor. For advanced scenarios, you may combine multiple steps and apps within a single workflow. If you hit a limit, you can split logic into separate zaps or use conditional paths.
Essential endpoints for publishing include POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. To verify viability, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicate slugs. You may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich post data.
Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If the slug exists, you can generate a new one or update the post’s slug field. This helps maintain clean URLs and SEO.
Yes. Use a scheduling action or draft-post flow with POST /blogs/posts to create drafts and a separate publish step. You can trigger schedules based on time, events, or external data changes.
Yes. Email templates can be customized within the emails/builder endpoints. You can populate template data via POST /emails/builder/data and trigger email sends when posts are published or updated.
The integration supports API key or token-based authentication. In Zapier App Connector, you’ll securely store credentials and test the connection. Rotate keys periodically and limit scope to the required endpoints.
Implement retries with exponential backoff, handle rate limits gracefully, and log failures for debugging. Use idempotent operations where possible (e.g., POST with unique identifiers) to avoid duplicate actions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
