Set up secure access to the Blogs API using the scope emails/builder.readonly and a standard OAuth flow. Your connection ensures only the allowed endpoints can be used by the Zapier App Connector.
Configure the Zapier App Connector to securely store credentials and refresh tokens, enabling seamless API calls to Blogs API without exposing secrets.

No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual builder to connect triggers and actions with the Blogs API. Use prebuilt templates and adapters to accelerate setup. This approach is designed to be intuitive for marketers and developers alike. You’ll gain confidence quickly as you see automations streamlining publishing and updates without touching code.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates, and GET /blogs/categories to assign topics. Use GET /blogs/authors to credit writers. Test each step with Zapier’s built-in tester. Start with a simple post flow and expand to category and author management as you validate.
Slug checks help prevent duplicates by confirming uniqueness with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If a slug is taken, automatically generate or adjust the slug in your Zap. Automations can enforce consistent slug rules across all posts.
Yes. You can fetch and display categories and authors via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors, and you may create entries if supported by your setup. Use Zapier to map category and author fields to your posts. This keeps your content taxonomy synchronized between systems.
Secure credentials are stored and rotated. Use OAuth tokens with restricted scopes (like emails/builder.readonly), enable secret management, and apply IP allowlists. Regularly review access and revoke tokens when needed. Always follow your organization’s security policies for integrations.
Use Zapier’s test runs and sample data to verify triggers and actions. Check the task history, examine error messages, and adjust mappings as needed. Run end-to-end tests with a draft post to confirm publishing and scheduling work as expected. Once tests pass, flip the workflow to live mode.
Consult the Blogs API documentation, sample workflows, and the Zapier App Connector resources for more examples. Explore community templates and our step-by-step tutorials to accelerate your setup. Bookmark this page as a reference when building new automations.
