Use OAuth 2.0 with scopes for read and write access. Store your access token securely, refresh when needed, and rotate credentials regularly. In workflow tools, authenticate once and reuse tokens across steps.
Microsoft To Do uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access. After permission is granted, you receive an access token to create tasks, read lists, and manage items through the integration.
Core endpoints include: GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and POST /blogs/posts. You may also leverage related email and scheduling endpoints as needed for data synchronization.
Trigger: a new blog post is created in Blogs API
Action: create a Microsoft To Do task with the blog title, URL, and author details, and optionally set due date and priority
POST /blogs/posts
title, url, excerpt, author, publishedDate
Trigger: blog post is updated in Blogs API
Action: update the corresponding To Do task with the new post data
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, url, updatedDate
Trigger: category or tag changes in Blogs API
Action: update task title or tags in To Do to reflect new category
PUT /blogs/categories/:categoryId
categoryId, name

You will typically use OAuth 2.0 plus an API key or token to authenticate with Blogs API and to authorize actions in Microsoft To Do. Keep tokens secure and rotate credentials regularly. In automation platforms, you can authenticate once and reuse the connection across steps. If you need code, use standard OAuth flows and token refresh patterns. The goal is to minimize friction while maintaining secure access.
Critical endpoints include creating and updating blog posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and category/author queries (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). For To Do actions, you will map a task creation or update to the corresponding blog data using the appropriate platform action calls. Also consider GET /blogs/posts for retrieval as needed.
No-code tools are perfectly capable of handling this integration. You can use a workflow builder to connect Blogs API triggers to Microsoft To Do actions without writing code. If you prefer code, you can call the endpoints directly with HTTP requests or a small script. Either approach will deliver a reliable flow.
Yes. You can map fields such as title, excerpt, URL, author, and categories from a blog post into the To Do task title, notes, and tags. You can also set due dates, reminders, and priorities based on post metadata. Use consistent field mappings to keep tasks uniform.
Rate limits depend on the API plan and endpoint. Watch for retry-after hints in responses and implement exponential backoff. If you reach limits, stagger calls or batch updates where possible to avoid failures.
Test the workflow using sandbox or test tokens and simulate post creation, updates, and category changes. Validate that tasks are created with correct titles and links. Review logs and error messages, then adjust mappings or timeouts as needed.
