Obtain API credentials from Blogs API and grant the Zapier App Connector the required scopes such as emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write so the app can read and write content.
Use OAuth 2.0 or an API key as offered by Blogs API. Enter client ID, secret, and redirect URLs in Zapier to complete the flow.
GET emails/builder; GET 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: New blog post draft in Blogs API; Action: POST /blogs/posts to create a live post
Actions include create post with title, content, slug; assign author via GET /blogs/authors; assign categories via GET /blogs/categories
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryIds
Trigger: Post edited in Blogs API; Action: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Actions include update post details, refresh slug, and optionally trigger related emails via /emails/builder/data
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: New or updated post; Action: fetch categories and authors to enrich metadata
Actions include GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
categoryId, authorId, slug
No coding required to automate content workflows between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
Drag‑and‑drop automations, real‑time data sync, and built‑in error handling make deployment fast and reliable.
Centralized monitoring of triggers and actions with logs and alerts helps you stay in control.
Key elements include authentication, endpoints, methods, triggers, actions, and data mapping used to connect Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that enable two applications to communicate.
A specific URL path for an API operation.
The process of proving identity and granting access to APIs and endpoints.
A URL‑friendly identifier for a blog post used in URLs.
When a new email draft lands in the Emails Builder, create a post in Blogs API via POST /blogs/posts. Tag and schedule as needed.
Aggregate posts by category or author to generate a weekly digest and publish it using Blogs API endpoints.
Check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before posting; enrich with author and category data from endpoints.
In Blogs API, generate a client ID and secret and grant scopes like emails/builder.readonly and blogs/post.write. Save credentials in Zapier.
Link endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories in Zapier, map fields, and set up test runs.
Run end‑to‑end tests in Zapier, verify data flows for posts, categories, and authors, then publish and monitor logs.
You can access a set of core endpoints including GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints allow you to read and create email templates, manage blog posts, and retrieve metadata like categories and authors. Use the endpoints in tandem with Zapier actions to automate content workflows without writing code.
No coding is required for the basic connection if you use the Zapier App Connector UI. You will configure triggers, actions, and field mappings via the dashboard. For advanced or custom logic, you can add minimal scripting if your setup supports it, but most automations will be fully achievable with no-code steps.
Yes. You can publish new posts via POST /blogs/posts and update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can also schedule related email actions using the Emails Builder endpoints to notify readers or teammates.
Security is maintained via OAuth or API keys, scoped permissions, and encrypted transmission. Access tokens can be restricted to specific endpoints (for example, blogs/* and emails/*), and you should rotate credentials periodically.
Production should use OAuth 2.0 where available. If API keys are used, keep them secret, restrict their scopes, and monitor usage. Always apply the principle of least privilege to minimize risk.
Test the connection in Zapier using the built‑in test feature: run a sample trigger, verify field mappings, and confirm successful creation or update of posts. Review logs for any errors and adjust mappings as needed.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Check Blogs API documentation for current limits and implement retry logic with exponential backoff in your automations to stay within quotas.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
