The Blogs API requires an OAuth 2.0 token with the appropriate scope. For this integration, ensure the app connection has access to the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and that tokens are stored securely in the Zapier App Connector.
Zapier App Connector authenticates to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Use secure credential storage and rotate credentials on a regular cadence.
GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; 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 post is created in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts) and fires a Zapier workflow.
Actions: Create or update content in downstream apps, update SEO data, and notify teams.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, category, author, status
Trigger: Check slug existence before publish (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists)
Actions: Validate slug, auto-fill SEO fields, publish and schedule
Method path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Trigger: Post update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Actions: Update content, reassign categories, refresh SEO, and re-publish
Method path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, content, category
Automate content workflows without writing code.
Keep blog data in sync across apps and platforms.
Speed up publishing with templates and reusable workflows.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping that drive this integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access a resource in the Blogs API via the Zapier App Connector.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used to build readable links within the Blogs API.
A mechanism for real-time event delivery from Blogs API to Zapier App Connector.
The standard authorization framework used to securely connect Blogs API with Zapier App Connector.
Publish new blog posts to social networks automatically using Zapier triggers.
Create repurposed content (summary newsletters, CMS updates) from new posts.
Automatically generate SEO metadata and schedule posts for optimal visibility.
In Zapier, set Blogs API as the connected app and authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
Configure a trigger for new posts and map fields to downstream apps.
Run tests, deploy the Zap, and monitor in the dashboard.
You authenticate to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 or API keys, issued to your Zapier App Connector connection. Ensure the access token has the required scope for the operations you plan (for example, reading posts and categories). When the token expires, refresh it automatically within Zapier to maintain a seamless connection. In practice, you’ll configure the connection in Zapier’s app setup screen, then select triggers and actions that use the Blogs API endpoints. This keeps user credentials secure while enabling automated blog workflows.
The available endpoints include retrieving and managing email builders, blog posts, categories, authors, and schedules. Examples: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors. Use the endpoint list to map fields between your content and your downstream apps.
Yes. The Blogs API provides a slug-exists check (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to prevent duplicate URLs before publishing. You can wire this check into a Zap to validate a slug before triggering a publish action.
Map fields like title, content, slug, category, and author from the Blogs API to the fields required by your downstream apps. In Zapier, use the built-in data mapping to align sources to destinations, and apply formatting or transformations as needed.
Common errors include authentication failures, missing required fields, and rate limiting. Improve resilience by handling retries with exponential backoff and validating inputs before making API requests.
There is no hard limit imposed by the Zapier App Connector on the number of posts, but you should respect the Blogs API rate limits and plan your workflows accordingly to avoid throttling.
Monitor integration health in Zapier’s task history and the Blogs API’s response logs. Set up alerting on failures and review historical runs to optimize mappings and triggers.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
