Blogs API uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access. You’ll obtain client credentials and exchange tokens to authorize requests to the endpoints listed below.
Pardot requires OAuth 2.0 or connected app credentials to authorize API calls. Configure a connected app and securely store tokens for the integration.
POST /blogs/posts — create a new blog post PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — update an existing post GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — check if a slug exists GET /blogs/categories — fetch blog categories GET /blogs/authors — fetch authors GET /emails/builder — retrieve email templates POST emails/builder — create an email template POST /emails/builder/data — attach data to an email template GET /emails/schedule — view email campaigns schedule GET /blogs/posts — list posts
Trigger: A Pardot form submission or campaign action creates a new blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts with title, content, author, and categories; optionally create a matching Pardot email template.
POST /blogs/posts
Title, Slug, Content, Author, Categories
Trigger: Pardot form submission or campaign updates an existing blog post.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields; reflect status, slug, and metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
PostID, Title, Slug, Content, Tags
Trigger: Before publishing, verify slug uniqueness to avoid duplicates.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug; if available, proceed to create; if not, prompt for adjustment.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Slug

Answer: You do not need to write code to connect Blogs API with Pardot when using the Zapier App Connector. The integration provides a no-code interface to map fields, trigger actions, and orchestrate data flows between services. Start by authenticating both systems, then select the endpoints you need and configure them through the connector. This keeps the setup accessible to marketers and admins without a developer.
Answer: Essential endpoints typically include creating and updating blog posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug validation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and basic read endpoints for categories and authors. If you plan to email blog content, you may also utilize email template endpoints (GET/POST emails/builder) to align content with campaigns.
Answer: Yes. Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing. If a slug already exists, you can adjust the title or slug and retry. This helps prevent duplicate content and broken links in campaigns.
Answer: The integration leverages OAuth 2.0 tokens for secure access. You will configure a connected app or OAuth credentials in both Pardot and Blogs API. Rotate tokens regularly and store them securely to maintain uninterrupted access.
Answer: Implement retries with exponential backoff in the Zapier App Connector. Monitor response codes, log failures, and consider webhooks for asynchronous notifications. Keep a retry policy that balances speed with rate limits and data integrity.
Answer: Required fields typically include post title, content, slug, author, and at least one category. Depending on your workflow, you may also pass metadata like tags and publish date. Ensure field mappings match both systems to avoid errors.
Answer: Setup time depends on complexity, but a typical no-code integration can be functional within a few hours. A full, tested deployment with monitoring and backups might take a couple of days. Start with a minimal workflow and iterate based on test results.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
