Start by generating an API key or OAuth token for Blogs API with at least read/write access to blog endpoints. Store credentials securely and test the connection with a lightweight request before enabling live automation.
Set up a connection in Pipeline CRM to receive data from Blogs API. Use the App Connector credentials or a webhook URL provided by the integration, then authorize data flow and run a quick test with a sample post.
Endpoint examples you can use with Pipeline CRM include: 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 or updated blog post in Blogs API
Actions: create or update a post in Pipeline CRM, fetch author data, map categories, and attach the post to the correct contact or account
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts to create posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds, publishedDate
Trigger: new blog post or author update in Blogs API
Actions: search posts, create or update Pipeline CRM records, notify teams or assign tasks
Method paths: GET /blogs/posts to fetch, POST /blogs/posts to create
Key fields: postId, title, slug, authorId
Trigger: blog post published webhook from Blogs API
Actions: push updates to Pipeline CRM records, create activity log entries, notify teams
Method path: webhook payloads deliver post data to a Pipeline CRM endpoint (e.g., POST /webhooks/blogs-posts)
Key fields: postId, slug, title
Code-free setup with drag-and-drop workflows that sync posts, authors, and categories between Blogs API and Pipeline CRM
Automatic data synchronization reduces manual data entry and keeps teams aligned on content and engagement metrics
Scales with your content strategy, supports publishing workflows, tagging, and audience routing
A quick primer on the main elements and processes: endpoints (read/write), triggers, actions, posts, authors, categories, slugs, and webhooks
A URL path that performs a specific action against the service, such as reading data or creating a post.
A URL-friendly identifier derived from a post title used in the post URL and routing
A blog entry that can be created, updated, published, or retrieved via endpoints
A real-time notification sent to trigger automations when a specified event occurs
When a new post is published in Blogs API, automatically create or update a campaign, contact, or task in Pipeline CRM and link it to the post.
Update contact details in Pipeline CRM when author data changes in Blogs API to keep profiles current.
Route new readers to leads or opportunities based on post category or engagement signals from Blogs API.
Create API keys for Blogs API and connect via the Pipeline CRM App Connector; test the connection with a sample post.
Align post fields, author IDs, and category mappings between systems and set up triggers and actions.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data integrity, monitor logs, then deploy to production.
Blogs API supports API key authentication and OAuth flows depending on your setup. Generate credentials from your Blogs API dashboard and grant the necessary scopes for reading and writing blog data. Store these credentials securely and rotate them periodically. Test the connection with a lightweight read request to confirm accessibility before enabling automation.
Publishing and updating posts typically use the create and update endpoints. Use POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. Map fields like title, content, slug, authorId, and categoryIds to corresponding fields in Pipeline CRM. After a successful write, trigger downstream actions such as syncing author data or updating campaigns.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check if a slug already exists before publishing. If the slug exists, modify the title or slug accordingly, or reserve the slug to avoid duplicates. For automation, include a pre-publish validation step in your workflow.
Yes. Author data can sync automatically if you map author endpoints to Pipeline CRM contacts. Update the CRM when author details change and set a refresh cadence or rely on webhooks for real-time updates.
To create a post, you typically need title, content, slug, and authorId. You may also include categoryIds and publishDate to control timing. Optional fields can improve SEO and categorization, but the core required fields are title, content, slug, and authorId.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and respect any documented limits. If you hit a limit, pause requests briefly and retry, or queue posts to smooth out peak activity.
Troubleshoot by verifying credentials and connection status, checking endpoint availability, and reviewing API responses. Enable detailed logs, test with a small data set, re-auth if tokens expire, and contact support with your logs if the issue persists.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
