To use the Blogs API with Zapier App Connector, create an API key or OAuth token from your Blogs API account and connect it in Zapier. Use the appropriate scopes to control access to endpoints you’ll be using for posts, categories, and authors.
In Zapier, set up a secure connection by supplying your Blogs API credentials (API key or OAuth token). Save securely and run a test to confirm the connection.
Core endpoints involved in this integration include: GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/author.readonly; blogs/category.readonly; blogs/post.write; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger when a new blog draft is created in Zapier App Connector, then create the post in Blogs API.
Actions: Create, update, and delete blog posts; fetch post URLs; manage slug.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, category_id, slug, status
Trigger when a new category or author is added or updated in Zapier App Connector.
Actions: Create or update categories and authors in Blogs API.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
name, description
Trigger when a blog post is updated in Zapier App Connector.
Actions: Create new post, update existing post, publish/unpublish.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, content, slug, postId
Eliminate manual data entry by syncing content automatically between Blogs API and Zapier.
Speed up publishing with automated workflows that run 24/7 across platforms.
Reduce errors with a single source of truth for posts, categories, and authors.
Key elements and processes you’ll encounter include APIs, endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
A defined interface that lets software systems communicate over the web.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
The process of proving identity to access a resource, typically via API keys or OAuth.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a resource such as a blog post.
Automatically generate a digest of weekly posts and push to your email newsletter via Zapier.
Create social media posts in your preferred networks whenever a post is published.
Plan a content calendar in Zapier and generate Blogs API posts on a set schedule.
Create a secure connection in Zapier using the Blogs API credentials.
Map blog fields like title, content, author, and category to the App fields.
Configure triggers and actions and test the workflow.
No-code setup is available through Zapier App Connector. The UI guides you through authentication, field mapping, and testing the workflow. If you want custom logic, you can add filters and paths within Zapier. If you run into limits or use advanced features, you can layer additional steps or use webhooks for extended control.
Essential endpoints for blog posts include POST /blogs/posts to create a post and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. For reference data, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help to fetch categories and authors. Also, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps check slug availability.
Authentication is done via API keys or OAuth tokens. Generate credentials in the Blogs API, then add them to your Zapier connection and verify with a test request. Keep credentials secure and rotate them periodically.
Yes. You can keep categories and authors in sync by mapping and triggering separate flows for categories/authors. Use GET endpoints to pull current data and POST/PUT to update or create as needed.
Slug collisions can occur if a slug already exists. Resolve by generating a unique slug or updating the existing post. Use the slug existence check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate before creating.
Credentials live in both Blogs API and Zapier. Retrieve your API key or OAuth credentials from Blogs API, then configure the connection in Zapier and run a test to confirm the integration works as expected.
Use Zapier’s test feature to trigger a sample post creation or update. Review API responses and mapping results, adjust fields as needed, and re-test until the flow runs without errors.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
