Supported endpoints for blog posts include listing posts, creating posts, updating posts, and checking slug availability. You can also access endpoints for categories and authors to enrich post data within your workflows.
Use the slug existence endpoint to verify that a slug is unique before publishing. This prevents duplicate URLs and ensures clean SEO, especially when automating post creation.
Categories and authors can be retrieved via dedicated endpoints, allowing you to assign posts to the correct category and author in automated workflows.
Testing is built into Zapier with a test run for each step. Run a full test of the Zap to verify triggers and actions before enabling it in production.
Zapier provides a task history and error details for each workflow run. Use these logs to troubleshoot authentication, mapping, or endpoint issues.
