The Blogs API is a programmable interface that lets you manage blog content, authors, categories, and publishing. It exposes endpoints to create, update, and fetch posts, as well as to read metadata like categories and authors. In Zapier, you can trigger actions based on events in your CMS and push updates back into Blogs API without custom code. This makes it easy to automate publishing workflows across platforms.
No coding is required to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector. You use Zapier’s built‑in triggers and actions, map fields from your source CMS, and configure simple workflows. If you need advanced logic, you can still insert conditional steps or use Zapier’s built‑in app scripting, but many common tasks work out of the box.
Yes. You can create new posts via the Blogs API endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and publish them through Zapier. You can also update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and trigger downstream actions, such as sharing posts to social channels or emailing subscribers.
Zapier can check slug existence using the GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists endpoint before creating a post. This helps ensure you don’t publish duplicate slugs. If a slug exists, you can automatically adjust it or prompt for a new slug in your workflow.
Yes. The Blogs API exposes endpoints for categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors). You can fetch or list these resources in Zapier to attach to posts, automate author tagging, and organize content consistently.
No‑code automation reduces manual work, speeds up publishing, and minimizes errors. With a few clicks in Zapier, you can trigger content workflows, update posts, schedule releases, and synchronize metadata across your tools all without writing code.
You can access a broader set of endpoints in the Blogs API documentation. Common endpoints include post creation, updates, slug checks, categories, and authors. Use these to extend workflows as your needs grow, and combine them with Zapier for powerful integrations.
