Access to the Blogs API requires OAuth 2.0 with the defined scope emails/builder.readonly and related permissions. Use a secure token exchange to authenticate requests.
Connect PayPal to the integration using OAuth 2.0 with client credentials. Use sandbox for testing and switch to production for live data. Store secrets securely.
GET emails/builder; GET 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: PayPal event such as an invoice paid or order completed prompts a new blog post in Blogs API
Actions: publish a new post via POST /blogs/posts; optionally enrich with data from GET emails/builder and templates
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author, paypalEventId
Trigger: PayPal product update or price change
Actions: update existing blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId after slug exists check with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, slug, updatedFields
Trigger: PayPal invoice created
Actions: draft a blog post with POST /blogs/posts and publish with blogs/post.write
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, invoiceId
Automate repetitive tasks without writing code

This glossary covers endpoints triggers actions data fields and more to help you build automations
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an operation via an API
An event in an app that starts an automation
An operation performed as a result of a trigger
A published blog entry
Publish product updates or receipts to your blog automatically when PayPal events occur
Draft newsletters when new PayPal customers sign up and share summaries on your blog
Keep your blog current by updating posts when refunds or chargebacks happen
Connect both accounts, grant permissions and set the required scopes and redirect URL
Choose endpoints such as GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts and map fields to blog post properties
Run tests verify data flow and deploy automation to production
No code knowledge is required to start. Use the prebuilt triggers and actions to connect PayPal events to your Blogs API workflow. You can configure authentication and field mappings in the app settings. If you run into issues, consult the endpoints documentation for exact parameter names. The platform provides guided steps and validation to help you test before going live.
For posting blogs you typically need to use POST /blogs/posts to publish new content and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure the slug is unique. You may also use blogs/post-update.write for updates. Ensure you have titles and content mapped to the corresponding fields. Optional: use GET emails/builder to pull templates for consistent formatting.
Yes. Use the sandbox environment to test PayPal triggers and the Blogs API endpoints. Verify authentication, scopes, and data mappings before moving to production. Watch for rate limits and ensure you handle retries gracefully in your automation.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You will obtain access tokens with the client credentials or authorization code flow, then include the token in API requests. Store credentials securely and rotate secrets regularly. Always scope requests to the minimal permissions required for your automation.
Required fields for a blog post typically include title and content. Optional fields can include slug, excerpt, author, tags, and publishedDate. Map PayPal event data to these fields to ensure clarity and searchability in your blog posts. Validate content length and formatting to maintain consistency across posts.
Errors are surfaced as API error codes with messages. Use standard HTTP status codes to determine retry vs. fixable errors. Implement exponential backoff for transient issues and log error details for debugging. If a token expires, refresh it using the OAuth workflow and retry the failed request.
The frequency depends on the triggers you configure. You can poll at intervals supported by the integration or rely on real time webhooks if available. Ensure you respect API rate limits and implement retry logic for failed checks. For high volume, consider batching changes or using asynchronous processing where supported.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
