Blogs API uses API keys and token-style credentials to authorize requests from the Zapier App Connector. In this integration you’ll typically supply your API key, then grant permissions defined by the scope emails/builder.readonly. Store credentials securely in Zapier and rotate keys regularly.
Zapier App Connector authenticates with Blogs API through the connected account. Use OAuth or API keys depending on the provider’s setup, and ensure the app has the correct scopes for reading email templates and managing blog posts. Keep credentials secure and reuse connections across workflows.
Core endpoints include emails builder read and write, email template creation, data updates, and deletion; email scheduling; blog post creation and updates; slug checks; category and author lookups; and retrieval of blog categories and authors. These endpoints enable no-code automations between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Trigger on demand to fetch existing email templates and builder data, enabling quick reads and previews within Zapier.
Actions: list templates, retrieve builder data, validate fields, and pull template previews.
GET /emails/builder
locationId, templateId
Trigger when creating a new email template for the builder.
Actions: create or update email templates, attach to a location, define content.
POST emails/builder
templateId, locationId
Trigger on blog post edits or status changes.
Actions: update post content, modify status, republish if needed.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId
Drag-and-drop automations connect Blogs API data to Emails and Blogs without writing code.
Schedule blog posts and automated email campaigns in minutes, not hours.
Build custom workflows with triggers from endpoints to power your content pipeline—no coding required.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector. Understanding these terms helps you build effective no-code automations.
A specific URL and HTTP method combination that performs a defined action in the Blogs API within a Zapier workflow.
The process of proving identity and obtaining access tokens so Zapier can call the Blogs API securely.
A permission boundary that determines which endpoints and data a connected app can access.
A content item published on a blog within the Blogs API.
Automatically generate blog drafts from approved emails and publish on a schedule.
Keep email templates aligned with blog categories to ensure consistent branding.
Receive instant notifications in your app when a blog post changes status or is published.
Obtain your Blogs API keys and configure OAuth or API key setup in the Zapier App Connector.
Connect the Blogs API to Zapier App Connector by selecting the connected account and mapping scopes.
Create a zap that uses endpoints to trigger actions, then test thoroughly and deploy.
No coding is required to set up automations between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector. Use the visual workflow builder to connect endpoints, configure actions, and test. For more complex logic, you can chain multiple steps and add filters within Zapier. If you run into limitations, you can often achieve the same result by combining existing actions and using data mapping to tailor payloads.
EndPoints span email templates, email data, and blog content (create, read, update, delete). You can fetch templates, check post slugs, create posts, update content, and retrieve authors and categories. Use these building blocks to craft multi-step workflows. Combine endpoints with built-in Zapier features like delays and webhooks to create robust automations.
Authentication typically uses an API key or OAuth-style token issued by the Blogs API integration. You’ll connect with a named account in Zapier and grant the necessary scopes (e.g., emails/builder.readonly). Keep tokens secure and rotate regularly. Review your app’s connected accounts to ensure the correct permissions are in place before triggering any automation.
Yes. You can update blog posts via the PUT /blogs/posts/:postId endpoint. In Zapier, map the postId and payload for title, content, and status updates, then test the action to ensure changes are applied as expected. Consider using versioning or a draft/publish flow to prevent accidental replacements.
Scheduling is supported for both blog posts and email campaigns where the endpoints allow date/time control. Create a Zap that triggers on a schedule or when a template updates, then use the appropriate API actions to publish at your chosen times. Always confirm time zones and publish windows to avoid mis-timed posts.
Most APIs enforce rate limits and quotas. If you hit limits, optimize by batching requests, caching responses, or staggering triggers. Consider upgrading your plan or applying exponential backoff in your workflow logic. Monitor usage in the Blogs API dashboard and in Zapier’s task history to stay within limits.
Endpoint docs are provided in the Blogs API reference. Look for sections on emails, blogs, and authors to understand required parameters and response structures. You can also inspect sample payloads within Zapier’s connector setup to speed development.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
