A concise glossary of terms, endpoints, and data elements used when connecting the Blogs API with Mobile Text Alerts.
Application Programming Interface: a set of endpoints and methods that allow apps to talk to each other.
An API endpoint is a URL path that performs a specific function (e.g., retrieving posts).
Access control tokens or keys used to authorize API requests.
Event-driven notifications sent to your app when something happens (e.g., a new post).
Publish a new blog post via the Blogs API and automatically ping subscribers with a concise SMS summary.
Notify authors or readers of new comments through SMS alerts using blog post IDs.
Send a daily digest of top posts via SMS to a distribution list.
Obtain your Blogs API key and your Mobile Text Alerts access token from the dashboards.
Set up endpoints (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) and define triggers for new posts or comments.
Run test posts, verify SMS delivery, and monitor activity in logs.
You don’t need heavy coding to start—our guides walk you through visual setup and basic mappings between endpoints. Begin by connecting your Blogs API key and Mobile Text Alerts token, then configure a simple trigger such as a new post to send an SMS. Use built-in templates to customize the message content. If you’re comfortable with light scripting, you can extend the flow with additional conditions and branching to handle drafts, categories, or author-based routing.
Yes. You can configure triggers around published posts, not just drafts. For drafts, you can set a separate workflow to notify when a post transitions from draft to published. This helps ensure alerts go out only when content is ready for your audience. Combine publish triggers with checks on post status and slug existence to avoid duplicates and ensure timely delivery.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish content, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors for metadata. For alerting, use GET emails/schedule and GET emails/builder as needed to manage notification timing and templates. These endpoints form the core flow of publishing content and triggering SMS alerts to subscribers.
API keys and tokens should be kept secure, stored in a secrets manager, and rotated regularly. Use least-privilege access scopes so each token only permits the necessary actions. Consider implementing IP whitelisting and audit logs to monitor usage. If a credential is compromised, rotate it immediately and review recent activity to mitigate any impact.
Yes. You can tailor SMS templates for tone, length, and call-to-action. Use placeholder fields to auto-insert post titles, slugs, or author names. Regularly review templates to maintain compliance with character limits and regulatory guidelines.
There can be rate limits on API calls and SMS sending depending on your plan. Plan for retries and backoff strategies, and batch requests where appropriate. Monitor quotas in your dashboards and set alerts if you approach limits.
Start with a sandbox or test post to verify end-to-end delivery. Check that the Blogs API publishes the post, the trigger fires, and Mobile Text Alerts sends the SMS to the test number. Review logs for any errors, and adjust mappings or templates as needed.
