Use a secure flow to authorize the Blogs API from your Zapier app. Typical options include OAuth 2.0 or an API key depending on your setup. Always request the minimal scope needed.
In Zapier App Connector set up a connection to Blogs API by adding client credentials and the required scope. Store tokens securely and test the connection.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly and related read/write operations. This guide focuses on posts, categories and authors, with optional supports for scheduling and metadata management. Some email related endpoints are listed for reference but the core blog workflows rely on the posts, categories and authors endpoints.

Automate post creation, updates and publishing across channels. This integration lets you trigger actions from your CMS, spreadsheet, or CRM to publish content to Blogs API. This saves time and reduces manual data entry. You can customize workflows to fit editorial calendars and ensure consistency across channels with minimal effort.
No coding is required for many workflows. Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to map triggers to actions and templates to jumpstart your setup. You can start with a ready made template and tweak field mappings to suit your publishing process.
Core endpoints for most workflows include POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates. You can also GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata.
Authentication options include OAuth 2.0 flows or API keys as provided by Blogs API. Securely store tokens and rotate them regularly. Test connections in Zapier before going live.
Yes, you can schedule posts by setting a publishDate on create or by using a Zapier delay to publish at a chosen time. This allows you to align publishing with editorial calendars and cross post across channels.
Enable retries in Zapier and handle rate limits with exponential backoff. Use idempotent requests where possible to avoid duplicates on retry.
Consult the Blogs API reference for endpoint details. Focus on posts, categories and authors to fit your workflow and expand as needed.
