Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 and the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store tokens securely and refresh them automatically to maintain uninterrupted access.
In Zapier, set up a new connection for the Blogs API. This connection securely stores your credentials and lets you map triggers and actions to the actual endpoints.

Sync updates from your external CMS to Blogs API and keep published posts current via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Aggregate post metrics and display performance in a dashboard, using endpoints like GET /blogs/posts and related stats.
Obtain and store OAuth tokens, grant access to the Blogs API in Zapier.
Select endpoints and map fields to your content workflow.
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable live automation.
The Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector enables automated publishing, editing, and scheduling of blog content without writing code. The setup guides you through authenticating, mapping triggers to actions, and selecting the right endpoints for your workflows. You’ll use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs, all within a no-code workflow.
Endpoints for posting and updating include POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Map the responses to your content fields in Zapier to automate publishing and updates.
No coding is required. Use Zapier’s visual workflow builder to connect your Blogs API endpoints to triggers and actions. The prebuilt actions (e.g., create post, update post) simplify setup and maintenance.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a post. If the slug already exists, Zapier can automatically generate or suggest a unique slug and retry.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with the required scopes. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed. Ensure you grant access to the Blogs API and keep credentials confidential.
Yes, you can schedule posts by providing a publishDate during creation or update, enabling future publication. This works within your Zapier workflow without additional coding.
Rate limits depend on your API plan and usage; typical quotas apply. If you exceed limits, consider batching requests or upgrading your plan to ensure smooth automation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
