To begin, generate an API key for Blogs API with scope access to emails/builder and blog content. Save the key securely and include it in your integration setup to authorize requests like creating posts and updating categories.
Connect Olark to allow read/write access to chat data. Use Olark’s OAuth flow or API key method to authorize the connection so chat transcripts can be transformed into blog content.
– GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blog post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A finished Olark chat starts a new blog post draft in Blogs API.
Actions: create post, populate title from chat summary, fill content with transcript, attach excerpt, assign category and author.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, authorId, categoryId, status
Trigger: New Olark lead is captured and a blog post scaffold is created.
Actions: create draft post, set default category, prefill slug candidate, queue for review.

Identify promising chat conversations and convert them into case study posts with key quotes and highlights.
Extract common questions from chats and publish SEO-optimized FAQ posts.
Create and store API credentials for Blogs API and authorize Olark to access chat data. Ensure scope includes emails/builder and blogs endpoints.
Map Olark fields (chat summary, transcript, customer name) to Blogs API post fields (title, content, excerpt, author). Choose endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to manage slugs.
Run tests, verify slug uniqueness, validate error handling, and then enable the automation for production.
No code is required to connect Olark with Blogs API when using a no-code connector or integration platform. You can authenticate both services, map fields, and set up automated actions without writing software. This makes it accessible for non-developers to start publishing from chat data. For more advanced workflows, you can add conditional logic and error handling in the connector. If you need deeper customization, you can supplement the no-code flow with small scripts or leveraging the Zapier App Connector to extend capabilities, while still avoiding custom code in your main platform.
At a minimum, you’ll need endpoints for creating posts (POST /blogs/posts) and slug validation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). Depending on your needs, you may also use endpoints to update posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and to manage categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors). These endpoints enable a basic publish workflow: validate slug, create/post draft, and publish when ready, with optional updates as content evolves.
How you check a slug often involves calling GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the desired slug. If it returns that the slug is available, you can proceed to create the post with POST /blogs/posts. If not, you can modify the slug or append a unique suffix. Using slug checks helps ensure clean, SEO-friendly URLs and prevents conflicts in your blog catalog.
Yes. You can map a chat’s category or topic to a blog category by pulling the list from GET /blogs/categories and assigning a suitable categoryId during post creation. You can also set up rules to auto-select a category based on keywords or conversation themes. If needed, you can create multiple posts under different categories by repeating the post creation step with the appropriate category mappings.
Directly pulling emails data into blog posts is not mandatory for blogging workflows, but you can use emails/builder endpoints to attach email content as post content or excerpts. This allows you to repurpose email content into blog format. Be mindful of data privacy and ensure you’re only publishing content you have rights to share in public posts.
Yes. By using standard OAuth flows and scoped API keys, you can control access to Olark and Blogs API resources. Ensure you rotate credentials, use least-privilege scopes, and enable audit trails for security. Regularly review permissions to stay compliant with data handling policies.
