Automate cross platform blog workflows between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Eliminate manual data entry by mapping fields once and reusing across Zaps.
Scale content operations with scheduled events and reliable endpoints.
Understand the core elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields that flow between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
An API is a set of rules that lets different software systems talk to each other.
A URL path that exposes a particular function in an API.
An event that starts an automation in Zapier.
An operation performed in response to a trigger.
Set up a Zap to push new blogs posts to email, social and CRM channels automatically.
Use content analysis to assign categories and authors to posts as soon as they are created.
Aggregate weekly posts and send a digest to subscribers via email.
Obtain an API key or OAuth token from Blogs API, then authorize Zapier App Connector.
Choose a trigger and actions that use the 17 available endpoints.
Run tests, verify mappings and data formats, then deploy to production.
You authenticate to the Blogs API using your app credentials or OAuth tokens. Keep tokens secure and rotate them regularly. Test authentication by making a simple GET request to a known endpoint.
The core endpoints for creating and updating posts include POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. Additional endpoints support data like slug checks and category and author data.
Use the Zapier test feature to simulate triggers and actions. Start with a test post, validate fields, and confirm data flows into your app. Review response formats and error messages.
Yes. You can GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to populate dropdowns and enrich posts with proper metadata.
Map fields consistently across endpoints and use sample data to validate mappings. Document required fields and default values.
If a request fails, check the authentication header, endpoint path, and HTTP method. Review API docs for required fields and allowed values.
Rate limits are defined in the API terms. If you hit a limit, implement exponential backoff and cache common data.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
