To connect, obtain an API key or OAuth token from the Blogs API developer console and authorize RingCentral to access your content and schedules.
RingCentral uses OAuth 2.0. Create a developer app, obtain client ID and secret, and authorize the session so data can flow to the Blogs API.
GET emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; POST emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: a RingCentral event such as a message or calendar event starts a blog post draft via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: draft content, assign an author, and optionally publish or schedule the post.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, authorId, slug, status
Trigger: RingCentral supplies metadata such as author and category to a new post draft.
Actions: fetch available categories and authors, map fields to post payload.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId, title, slug
Trigger: schedule a post release based on RingCentral calendar events with a future publishDate.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, publishDate, status
Build powerful automations without writing code.
Reduce manual data entry by syncing data between RingCentral and Blogs API.
Improve responsiveness with real-time updates from RingCentral to your blog workflow.
This glossary defines terms used in this guide, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used in the integration.
A blog article stored in the Blogs API; includes title, content, slug, author, and status.
A specific URL path in the API used to perform an action.
An event in RingCentral that starts a workflow with the Blogs API.
An operation performed via the API, such as creating or updating a blog post.
Use RingCentral messages as triggers to draft blog posts via the Blogs API.
Link RingCentral calendar events to blog post scheduling.
Route posts to specific authors in Blogs API based on RingCentral user data.
Set up OAuth for both platforms and grant permissions for data flow.
Map RingCentral events to Blogs API endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories.
Run tests end-to-end and monitor for issues after going live.
Authenticate by creating a connected app in the Blogs API developer portal and obtaining OAuth tokens. Then configure RingCentral to authorize the Blogs API so it can access your content and schedules. Keep the tokens secure and refresh as needed. Ensure the token scope matches the data you plan to access, such as emails/builder.readonly for certain reading operations.
To post a blog, use POST /blogs/posts. To ensure you don’t create duplicate slugs, check availability with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before posting. To update an existing post, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. For related data like authors and categories, use GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
Yes, you can schedule posts by setting a future publishDate or using a scheduled status in the post payload. Create the post with POST /blogs/posts and include the desired publishDate. You can adjust timing later with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId if needed.
No code is required to start. The platform connectors let you map RingCentral triggers to Blogs API actions in a visual workflow. If you need advanced logic, you can supplement with webhooks or custom scripts.
Required fields typically include title, content, slug, and status. Optional fields include authorId, categoryId, excerpt, tags, and publishDate. The exact fields depend on your post template and permissions.
Fetch authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to populate choices. Map RingCentral user data to an authorId and assign posts to the appropriate categoryId for organization.
Rate limits are documented in the Blogs API docs and depend on your plan. Monitor response headers for remaining quota and implement retries with backoff to stay within limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
