Yes. You will authenticate by linking your Blogs API account in Zapier and granting the requested permissions. This connection uses the provided API key or OAuth flow to securely access endpoints. Once connected, you can start building automations that create posts, update content, and trigger email actions.
You typically need read only access to fetch data and write access for creating or updating posts. For LendingPad, the scope set may include blogs/post.write and blogs/check-slug.readonly to ensure you can publish and verify slugs, along with emails/builder.readonly for related email actions. Always tailor scopes to the minimal required permissions for your automation.
Yes. Zapier can create new posts via POST /blogs/posts and update existing posts via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can chain actions across templates in Emails Builder to notify teams or subscribers when posts go live.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug is already in use. This helps prevent duplicate content. If the slug exists, you can modify it or append a unique suffix before creating the post.
Yes. You can fetch authors with GET /blogs/authors and categories with GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints let you map author and category data into your CRM or marketing workflows.
You can schedule email sends by using the emails/schedule endpoints in conjunction with your blog publishing workflow. This enables automated emailing of post announcements or newsletters when a post is published.
No code automation lets you automate repetitive content workflows without writing code. You get faster publishing, consistent communications, and easier testing and iteration of your processes.
