Authenticate using your Blogs API credentials and the required access scopes to perform post creation, updates, and slug checks.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 or API tokens to securely connect to the Blogs API. Configure your connection in Zapier and test it with a quick workflow.
– POST /blogs/posts (create a post) (blogs/post.write) – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update a post) (blogs/post-update.write) – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (check slug existence) (blogs/check-slug.readonly) – GET /blogs/categories (list categories) (blogs/category.readonly) – GET /blogs/authors (list authors) (blogs/author.readonly)
Trigger: a new blog post draft is created in Blogs API, then Zapier publishes or schedules it automatically.
Actions: Publish post, update slug, set publish date, and distribute to channels.
Usage: POST /blogs/posts to create; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, slug, category, author, publishDate
Trigger: new category or author is added in Blogs API.
Actions: create or update category and author records in Zapier workflows.
Method path: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors (and use updates as needed).
Key fields: categoryName, authorName, slug
Trigger: post status or slug updated in APPNAME.
Actions: update post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to mirror changes.
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId

Yes, you can automate publishing by triggering on new drafts and sending them to the blog platform. The Zapier App Connector connects to Blogs API to create, update, and publish posts without code. In practice, you’ll set up a trigger for a new draft, choose actions to publish or schedule, and optionally map metadata like categories and authors. This enables consistent publishing workflows across your content calendar.
Blogs API and APPNAME support secure OAuth 2.0 and API token methods. Configure credentials in the Blogs API dashboard and then connect them inside Zapier. For best results, grant only the scopes you need for posting, updating, and slug checks. In addition, enable test connections to confirm a clean handshake before going live.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to connect APIs like Blogs API, map fields, set triggers, and build automation. Some familiarity with endpoints and data fields helps, but you can accomplish most tasks with point-and-click actions.
Slug conflicts occur when two posts share the same slug. Use the slug-exists endpoint to validate uniqueness before creating a post, and incorporate a slug generation step that appends a unique identifier when needed. Automations can also rewrite or adjust slugs during the publish flow to avoid duplicates.
For basic posting you’ll typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and GET /blogs/categories or GET /blogs/authors to enrich posts with metadata. These endpoints cover creation, updates, and essential metadata lookups.
In Zapier, use the Test Trigger and Test Action features to run a sample workflow. Verify that a draft is created, slug checks pass, and the post publishes as scheduled. Review logs and error messages, adjust field mappings, and re-test until the flow runs smoothly.
API call limits depend on your Blogs API plan. Monitor usage in the API dashboard and implement rate-limiting in your Zapier workflows if necessary. Some endpoints may have higher quotas for publishing activity; consult your plan details for exact numbers.
