Authenticate using API credentials from Blogs API, then authorize the connection inside Zapier to grant access to email builder and blog endpoints.
Create a dedicated Nimbata API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly and paste it into Zapier to secure the connection.
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
When a new or updated blog template is created in Blogs API, trigger an email template sync in Nimbata.
Use emails/builder endpoints to pull templates and create corresponding emails in Nimbata, then schedule delivery via emails/schedule.
Method paths include GET emails/builder to fetch templates and POST /emails/builder/data to sync template data.
Map locationId, templateId, and slug to keep content aligned across systems.
When a new blog post is published via Blogs API, push to Nimbata to trigger a launch email to subscribers.
Call blogs/post.write and POST /blogs/posts to create posts, then use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slugs and ensure consistent URLs.
Utilize PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and POST /blogs/posts for updates and creation.
postId, slug, title, authorId, categoryId
Trigger follow-ups when readers engage with emails (opens/clicks) using schedule endpoints and template data.
Leverage emails/schedule.readonly to segment and schedule follow-ups; update posts and categories as needed via blog endpoints.
Combine GET emails/schedule with POST /blogs/posts to adjust campaigns based on engagement.
templateId, locationId, subscriberId
Build powerful automations without writing code using the Zapier App Connector to link blog and email endpoints.
Keep content and email data synchronized across platforms for consistent messaging at scale.
Scale campaigns across multiple blogs, authors, and categories with a single integrated workflow.
This glossary defines core concepts: API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and field mappings used in the Blogs API and Nimbata integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets one app talk to another; in this page, it connects Blogs API and Nimbata via the Zapier connector.
A specific URL path and method for performing an action on the API, such as GET emails/builder or POST /blogs/posts.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to the API via API keys or OAuth credentials.
A URL-friendly version of a blog post title used in URLs.
Trigger a welcome email sequence each time a new post goes live and subscribers opt-in.
Curate personalized newsletters using post metadata and subscriber preferences.
Send anniversary emails tied to post publication dates and author milestones.
Generate a Blogs API key with the correct scope and copy the key into Zapier or your connector.
Authorize the Blogs API and link the Nimbata app within the Zapier connector UI.
Map post fields (postId, slug, title) and run a test to confirm end-to-end delivery.
Authentication can be done with API keys from Blogs API or OAuth tokens, then you authorize the connection in Zapier and grant access to the required scopes like emails/builder.readonly. This keeps the integration secure while allowing read access to templates, schedules, and posts. In Nimbata, generate a dedicated API key with the necessary scope and paste it into the connector to finalize the link.
The endpoints most frequently used are the emails builder endpoints (GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder) for templates, and the blogs endpoints (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) for creating and updating posts. Frequently used read operations include GET emails/schedule and GET /blogs/categories to keep content aligned with campaigns.
No traditional code is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code bridge between Blogs API and Nimbata. You can authenticate, map fields, and set up triggers and actions using prebuilt blocks. If advanced logic is needed, you can still insert small conditional steps, but most use cases are fully configurable via the UI.
Yes. Use the test runs and sandbox connections in Zapier to simulate real workflows. Validate data mapping, trigger events, and end-to-end delivery before enabling live runs. This helps ensure emails render correctly and posts publish as expected.
Field mapping is done in the connector UI. Common mappings include postId to the blog post, slug to the URL slug, title for subject lines, and locationId to template groups. You can reuse standard fields and create fallback mappings to handle missing data gracefully.
Choose stable slug strategies and set up slug existence checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) before publishing. Maintain a consistent author and category taxonomy to keep newsletters and posts organized and easy to segment.
