Authenticate to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Obtain and securely store access tokens for repeatable calls to blog and post-related endpoints.
Authorize OptinMonster to access the Blogs API by exchanging credentials for an access token. Use a secure storage mechanism for tokens and rotate them as required.

PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, status, slug
Trigger: Draft ready to publish in OptinMonster

GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Build and deploy connect flows without writing code, using existing endpoints and field mappings.
Keep blog content and campaign data synchronized across platforms with automated triggers.
Reduce manual errors and accelerate time‑to‑publish for blog posts driven by OptinMonster leads.
This glossary defines common terms used in the integration between Blogs API and OptinMonster, including endpoints, slug checks, and authentication concepts.
A defined interface that allows apps to request data or perform actions in Blogs API in a consistent, machine‑readable way.
A specific URL and HTTP method representing a discrete action (e.g., fetch posts, create a post, check a slug).
Authorization framework used to grant secure access to Blogs API without sharing passwords, typically via access and refresh tokens.
A URL‑friendly identifier for a blog post, often used in the post URL (slug exists to avoid duplicates).
Capture lead data from OptinMonster forms and publish a new blog post via POST /blogs/posts with a templated body.
When leads advance through campaigns, update related blog post status or metadata using PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Validate slug availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing, ensuring SEO‑friendly URLs.
Obtain OAuth 2.0 tokens for Blogs API and OptinMonster, store securely, and confirm scopes include emails/builder.readonly.
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and map data fields from OptinMonster to Blogs API fields.
Run test cases for form submissions, create posts, and slug checks; monitor logs and move to live after verification.
Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication; you’ll exchange client credentials for an access token. Always store tokens securely and refresh before expiration to avoid failed requests. Ensure the access token has the emails/builder.readonly scope for reading blog data.
To publish from OptinMonster, you’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. For slug checks, use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and blogs/check-slug.readonly to prevent duplicates.
Yes. You can configure these integrations in a no‑code workflow by using webhook triggers from OptinMonster and calling the Blogs API endpoints with mapped fields. No custom code is required beyond authenticated API calls.
The minimum scope should include emails/builder.readonly to fetch content and related post data. If you need to publish or update posts, you may require write permissions such as blogs/post-write or blogs/posts endpoints depending on your setup.
Slug existence is checked via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If the slug exists, generate a new slug or adjust the title; you can enforce this in your workflow before publishing.
Rate limits vary by endpoint; plan for bursts around form submissions and batch updates. If you approach limits, implement exponential backoff and token refresh strategies in your workflow.
Example requests and payloads appear in the endpoint descriptions above. Start with small test posts, verify field mappings, and progressively expand coverage to other endpoints like schedules and categories.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
