To start, generate an API key from the Blogs API dashboard and grant the minimum required scopes (for example, emails/builder.readonly for reading templates and blogs/post-write for creating posts). Use OAuth where supported and store credentials securely. Scope: emails/builder.readonly
Authorize the PayKickstart side using your app credentials or an OAuth flow provided by PayKickstart. Ensure the connection has permission to create and update posts and campaigns.
– 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 – blogs/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 new blog post is published in Blogs API, immediately initiating a corresponding action in PayKickstart.
Actions: create a new PayKickstart campaign draft or update an existing one based on the post data.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author_id, category_id
Trigger: nightly or schedule-based run to keep content in sync.
Actions: bulk create/update of posts, sync categories and author metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status
Trigger: when building emails/templates that pull in blog data.
Actions: fetch latest posts, attach to templates and campaigns, and segment by category.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, title, excerpt
No-code automation to connect content with campaigns, reducing manual data entry.
Centralized data flow keeps posts, categories, and authors synchronized across platforms.
Faster iteration for content-driven marketing with real-time or scheduled sync.
Below is a quick glossary of terms and the typical data flow for this integration between Blogs API and PayKickstart.
Application Programming Interface – a standardized way for two apps to communicate and exchange data.
An authorization framework that allows apps to access APIs securely without sharing passwords.
A real-time HTTP callback that notifies another app when an event occurs.
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window to prevent overuse.
Set up a trigger so every new post creates a corresponding campaign draft in PayKickstart.
When a post is edited or republished, sync changes to the related PayKickstart campaigns.
Use category data to tailor emails and campaigns to specific reader interests.
Generate API keys for Blogs API, grant required scopes, and test a quick read with a test call.
Create a field mapping between blog data (title, content, slug, category) and PayKickstart payloads.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flow, and then enable automation for live traffic.
You can sync core blog data like titles, slugs, content, and author metadata. You can also pull category information to enrich campaigns. For basic flows, focus on post.title, post.content, and post.slug. Advanced mappings allow nested fields and status tracking.
No-code connectors provide a setup that requires no programming. Use the visual editor to map fields, configure triggers, and set up actions. Some familiarity with API concepts helps but is not required.
A minimal set includes GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slug availability, POST /blogs/posts to create, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You can start with these and expand as needed.
Credentials should be stored securely in your vault. Use OAuth or API keys with restricted scopes, rotate keys regularly, and follow best practices for secret management.
Yes. Field mappings are flexible. Use the mapping UI to align blog fields with your campaign payloads and update templates accordingly.
Yes, rate limits may apply depending on plan. If you hit limits, stagger requests or use batch endpoints where available.
Deployment logs and audit trails are shown in the integration dashboard. You can view recent sync events, successes, and failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
