To use the Blogs API with the Zapier App Connector, obtain an API key or OAuth credentials from your Blogs API account and securely store them in Zapier.
In Zapier, authorize the Blogs API connection by selecting the Blogs API app and granting access to the required scopes.

Create a connection to the Blogs API in Zapier by supplying your API key or OAuth credentials.
Choose triggers such as New Post or Slug Exists and map fields to your Zapier steps.
Define actions like Create Post, Update Post, or Send Email using templates.
Blogs API supports API keys and OAuth credentials for secure access. Use whichever method your team has established; for automated workflows with Zapier, API keys are often the simplest to configure. Store credentials securely in Zapier’s connected accounts and rotate credentials as needed. If you use OAuth, ensure the connected account has the required scopes to access emails and blogs endpoints.
Typical publishing workflows rely on endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. For automation, you’ll map triggers such as New Post to actions like Create Post, or verify slug before publishing.
Yes. The slug existence endpoint helps prevent duplicates. Check GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing a post to ensure a unique URL. If the slug exists, you can automatically adjust or abort the publish step in Zapier.
Email templates are managed via the emails/builder endpoints. Use GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST emails/builder to create, and POST /emails/builder/data to populate template content. You can link these templates to blog posts for consistent outreach.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow builder to connect Blogs API endpoints with triggers and actions. You only need to configure the connections and map fields between posts and emails.
Store API credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and limit scopes to the minimum required. Use Zapier’s built-in authentication checks and test steps to verify secure access before enabling live workflows.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan workflows to batch requests where possible, implement retries with backoff, and monitor usage via logs in Zapier and your Blogs API dashboard.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
