To access the Blogs API from Zapier, authorize via OAuth and grant the requested scope of emails/builder.readonly to read emails and drafts. When you’re ready, you can extend permissions to write access for publishing posts.
In Zapier, create a new connection to the Blogs API. Choose the OAuth flow, sign in, approve the scopes, and test the connection to confirm access to posts, authors, and categories.

This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and resources in the Blogs API integration with Zapier.
A URL and HTTP method used to interact with the Blogs API (for example, GET /blogs/posts).
An event in the Blogs API that starts a Zap in Zapier (for example, a new post).
An operation executed by Zapier in response to a trigger (for example, create post).
A URL‑friendly string derived from the post title used in the post URL.
Automatically share new blog posts to linked social accounts when a post is published in Blogs API.
Create a newsletter draft in your email platform whenever a new post goes live and schedule sends.
Sync post status with a shared calendar and alert editors when actions are needed.
Grant access to the Blogs API with scope emails/builder.readonly to view emails and drafts, and extend to write permissions for publishing.
Choose triggers such as new post or post update and actions like create or update post in the Blogs API.
Test the connection in Zapier and deploy the workflow to production.
With the Blogs API in Zapier you can automate blog publishing, update workflows, and publish emails tied to posts. Create tasks that trigger when a new post is created and automatically distribute updates to a newsletter or social channels. This enables consistent content deployment without manual steps. You can combine post creation with email or social actions, ensuring every post follows your editorial process from draft to publish.
No coding is required. Zapier App Connector lets you configure triggers and actions through a UI. You map fields like title, slug, and content to API endpoints and test the workflow in minutes. Advanced users can extend with multi-step flows, but the core is no code. If you need deeper customization, you can still access the endpoints directly to tailor the integration.
For publishing, you typically need endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create a post, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs. Depending on your workflow, you may also use GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. Combining these endpoints with triggers such as new post and post updates lets you automate publishing and notifications end-to-end.
Test endpoints in Zapier by using the built-in test feature on your action or trigger. Verify that the request payloads align with the API schema and that responses return expected data like postId, slug, and status. If errors occur, check the scope granted to the app, verify the endpoint paths, and ensure your authentication token is valid.
Yes. You can schedule posts by combining the Blogs API with scheduling endpoints and Zapier’s delay or Schedule actions. Create a post, then trigger a time-based action to publish or notify your audience at a future date. This helps maintain a consistent publishing calendar without manual intervention.
Authors are exposed via endpoints like GET /blogs/authors. You can pull author data into your workflows, assign posts to authors, and use author metadata for routing or personalization. Managing authors programmatically lets you automate attribution, workflow routing, and editorial approvals.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
