Authenticate to the Blogs API using your API key and configured OAuth scopes to grant Zapier App Connector access to endpoints such as blogs/posts, blogs/categories, and blogs/authors.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access and token management. In some setups, API keys can also be used for added flexibility.
Core endpoints include GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors. This set covers emails and blog related actions used in typical workflows.
Trigger: a new post is created in Blogs API which then schedules or publishes via Zapier.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug.
POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
title, content, slug, category_id, author_id
Trigger: changes to a post in Blogs API can update in Zapier workflows.
Actions: GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to modify.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: new posts require slug validation via blogs/check-slug.readonly.
Actions: check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, fetch categories with GET /blogs/categories, and assign author with GET /blogs/authors.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and GET /blogs/categories
