Map CRM fields to blog SEO attributes (seo_title, meta_description) and update via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Route post approvals in QlickCRM and trigger final publish through Blogs API.
Register the Blogs API connector and collect credentials (client_id, client_secret) or an API key as supported.
Map blog fields (title, content, slug, category, author) to CRM fields and set endpoint paths like POST /blogs/posts.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flow, and enable scheduled automations.
No coding is required for standard integrations. The Blogs API connector in QlickCRM provides a visual interface to build automations quickly. For advanced customizations, you can still reference the API docs to extend functionality, but most users can automate core workflows without writing code. The visual builder makes it easy to test and iterate on your content workflows.
Essential endpoints typically include listing authors and categories, checking slug existence, and creating or updating posts via POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can also fetch post URLs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Use OAuth or API keys as provided by the Blogs API. Store credentials securely in QlickCRM’s connected apps, and rotate keys regularly. Test the connection with a dry run before enabling live automations.
Yes. You can schedule posts to publish at a future date. Map the publish_date field in CRM to the API’s publish date and use the blog posting endpoint to push the scheduled post.
Map CRM fields to blog fields (title, content, slug, category, author). Maintain consistent data types and formats, and consider using a single source of truth for metadata like seo_title and meta_description.
If a slug already exists, the GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists can alert you before attempting to create a post. You can adjust the slug or add unique identifiers to avoid conflicts.
Docs for rate limits and scopes are typically available in the API provider’s developer portal. Ensure your app requests the scopes needed for blog publishing and post management.
