The Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector enables you to automate content workflows by linking blog posts and email templates. It supports creating, updating, and scheduling posts, as well as managing email templates and categories without writing code. This setup helps teams publish consistently and keep audiences aligned with new content.
Commonly used endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish new posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure slug uniqueness, and PUT /emails/builder to update email templates. These endpoints cover core content workflows, from creation to distribution.
No-code automations are the primary goal. Zapier provides triggers and actions that fire based on events in Blogs API, so you can build workflows without writing code. Some advanced scenarios may require basic configuration, but coding is not required for typical use-cases.
Authentication typically uses API keys and tokens via OAuth flows within the Zapier App Connector. Ensure tokens are kept secure and have appropriate scopes for the resources you access (for example, emails/builder.readonly).
Slug uniqueness is checked with the slug existence endpoint. If a slug already exists, you can modify it or generate a new one before publishing. This prevents duplicate content and preserves SEO integrity.
Yes. You can sync categories and authors using the appropriate endpoints (eg, blogs/categories and blogs/authors). This supports consistent taxonomy across your content and email assets.
Activity and logs can be viewed through the Zapier task history and, where available, the Blogs API audit logs. These logs help you verify successful runs and troubleshoot failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
