A quick glossary of the elements and processes used in this integration and how they fit together.
API stands for Application Programming Interface — a set of rules that lets apps communicate and share data.
Webhook is a real-time callback used to notify another app when a specified event occurs.
OAuth is an authorization framework that lets apps access resources securely without sharing credentials.
Slug is the URL-friendly identifier for a post, used in permalinks.

Configure LinkedIn as the action, map blog fields, and choose posting cadence.
Run tests, review logs, and enable automation for LinkedIn.
The Blogs API integration with the Zapier App Connector lets you connect blog content to LinkedIn without writing code. It uses standard API calls to fetch posts, categories, and authors, then pushes updates to LinkedIn on your chosen schedule. This no-code approach saves time and reduces manual publishing tasks.
No coding is required. Use Zapier’s visual builder to authorize both services, map fields, and configure triggers and actions. Follow step-by-step prompts to complete setup quickly.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish content, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs, and GET /blogs/categories / GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts. These endpoints support reliable posting and metadata retrieval.
Authentication relies on OAuth or API tokens, with secure storage and rotation handled by Zapier. Your credentials stay private, and you control refresh cycles and scopes.
Yes. Scheduling is supported via endpoints like GET emails/schedule and related blogging cadence controls, allowing automatic posting to LinkedIn at predefined times.
If a post fails, Zapier logs the error and you can retry the action. Check field mappings, slug validity, and account permissions, then re-run the task.
Slug and category information are available via endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors. These help ensure accurate metadata for posts.
