FAQ

What endpoints are available in this integration?

You can access a variety of endpoints such as GET emails/builder, GET blogs/authors, GET blogs/categories, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. These endpoints enable content creation, retrieval, and management without code. Authentication is handled via OAuth or API keys within the Zapier App Connector, ensuring secure access to the Blogs API resources.

To authenticate, configure the Zapier App Connector with the Blogs API credentials. Choose the preferred method (OAuth 2.0 or API key), input the credentials, and run a test request. A successful test confirms the connection is authorized to access endpoints like /blogs/posts and /blogs/authors.

Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before creating a new post. This helps prevent duplicate posts and ensures clean URL structures. If the slug exists, you can modify it or update the existing post accordingly.

No-code automation lets you connect Blogs API with Zapier App Connector to automate publishing, updating, and cross-channel distribution. You can trigger actions, map fields, and orchestrate workflows without writing code.

You can access authors and categories via GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints return identifiers and metadata (id, name, slug, and bio for authors) to help you categorize and attribute posts correctly.

Rate limits depend on your Blogs API plan. When building Zaps, consider batching requests and caching results where possible to avoid hitting limits. The Zapier App Connector will surface error responses if limits are reached.

Test your Zap in stages: verify a trigger fires on new posts, confirm the action creates or updates posts via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and run end-to-end tests to ensure data flows correctly across channels.
