Authenticate the Blogs API with Planfix using secure credentials. Generate API keys, set the Authorization header, and restrict scopes to the required endpoints for posting, reading, and updating blogs and emails.
Planfix connects to the Blogs API via OAuth 2.0 or a service account. Store tokens securely and rotate credentials per best practices.
Key endpoints you may use with Planfix include GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /emails/builder, GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, GET emails/schedule, and related read/write actions for emails and blogs.

Authentication is done by exchanging credentials securely. Use API keys or OAuth tokens to authorize requests to Blogs API and Planfix, and apply least privilege scopes for only needed endpoints.
Focus on endpoints used for content creation and retrieval such as blogs posts and categories and the corresponding emails endpoints for template management.
Yes tests can simulate triggers using sandbox or mock data. Validate the payloads and mapping before going live.
No extensive coding is required. Use built in triggers actions and mappings to connect systems.
Slug conflicts can be mitigated by checking slug existence before creation and using slug rollover strategies when needed.
Enable logging review error messages and set retries for failed calls. Use monitoring dashboards.
Implement exponential backoff retries and error handling for robust recovery from transient failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
