Use your Blogs API credentials to securely authorize Instabot. Store API keys with restricted scopes and rotate keys regularly.
In Instabot, create an integration credential for the Blogs API, approve required permissions, and test the connection with sample data.
Key endpoints include: Emails endpoints (GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /emails/builder, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId), Email scheduling (GET emails/schedule, readonly), and Blogs endpoints (GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, POST blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/authors). Use the appropriate endpoints to create posts, manage categories/authors, and fetch or update content as needed.
Trigger: A new draft is created in Instabot; send data to Blogs API to create a post.
Actions: Create post (POST /blogs/posts), ensure unique slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), update post (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) if edited, pull category/author IDs as needed.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, slug, categoryId, authorId, publishDate
Trigger: A new category or author is created in Blogs API.
Actions: Retrieve categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors) and map to Instabot fields.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
Category: name, slug; Author: name, bio, slug
Trigger: A post draft is updated in Instabot; push changes to Blogs API.
Actions: Update post (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), verify slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), update SEO fields (seoTitle, seoDescription).
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, seoTitle, seoDescription

Run test requests and map Blog fields to Instabot fields.
Start with authentication and test a simple create post flow. Use POST /blogs/posts to create a post, then GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Once you confirm the basic flow, expand to update posts and attach categories/authors as needed.
Yes, you can update the slug by changing the slug field via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and re-checking with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. Be mindful of SEO implications and ensure slug updates propagate to any linked content. Test changes in a staging environment before going live.
To fetch authors and categories, use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. You can then map these IDs in Instabot to assign authors and organize content. These endpoints help you attribute posts correctly and maintain a clean taxonomy for your blog.
No heavy coding is required; it’s a no-code integration using prebuilt triggers and actions to connect Instabot with Blogs API. If you need custom logic, you can extend with additional endpoint calls or use a scripting layer if your platform supports it.
Store credentials securely in your platform’s vault; rotate keys regularly, and restrict scopes to only the endpoints you need. Use HTTPS, enable IP restrictions where possible, and monitor access logs for unusual activity.
Yes, you can pull email templates using the emails/builder endpoints and incorporate them into blog-post-related emails or campaigns. Use GET emails/builder to retrieve templates and POST /emails/builder/data to apply or insert data where needed.
Common use cases include auto-publishing blog posts from chat conversations, syncing categories and authors, and distributing blog content via email campaigns. This helps reduce manual steps and accelerates content workflows.
