Authenticate requests from RunSignup to the Blogs API using either OAuth 2.0 with a client ID and secret or an API key. Ensure the required scope (emails/builder.readonly or equivalent) is granted for read access to posts and author data.
In RunSignup, generate an API key or connect via OAuth, then paste the credentials into the Blogs API connector setup. Save and test the connection to confirm access.
Blog endpoints involved include: blogs/post.write, 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: When a new blog post is created in Blogs API
Actions: Create the post in Blogs API, then trigger an email sequence in RunSignup via the emails endpoints.
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts to publish; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update
Key fields: postId, title, slug, content, author, publishDate
Trigger: Post status changes or new comments in Blogs API
Actions: Mirror status to RunSignup, tag posts, update author data as needed
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, lastUpdated, commentsCount
Trigger: Check slug existence before publish
Actions: Validate slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, adjust if needed, update post.slug
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId, title
No-code automation lets you connect data and actions without writing code, using a visual setup to map fields and triggers.
Unified data flow between blog content and email campaigns enables timely, relevant communications at scale.
Fast testing, debugging, and iteration with ready-to-use templates and sandbox environments.
This glossary defines the core terms used in the Blogs API and RunSignup integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping.
API: A defined interface that allows software to communicate with another system.
Webhook: A real-time callback where the server sends data to your app when a specified event occurs.
Endpoint: A specific URL in an API where requests are sent to perform actions or retrieve data.
Slug: The URL-friendly string used to identify a post in links.
When a new post goes live in Blogs API, automatically draft and send a RunSignup email to subscribers.
Pipe likes, comments, and views into RunSignup analytics so teams can measure content effectiveness.
Use RunSignup tags to segment blog readers and trigger personalized campaigns via the Blogs API.
In the Blogs API dashboard, generate OAuth credentials or an API key, then enter them into RunSignup’s connection settings.
Match blog fields (title, slug, content, author) to RunSignup fields (content blocks, campaign titles, etc.).
Run tests to verify triggers and actions, then enable the integration in both systems.
No coding skills are required. The setup uses a visual interface to authenticate, select endpoints, and map fields. You can complete most common workflows without writing code. In addition, the built-in templates and test mode help you preview results before going live.
For creating posts, you typically use POST /blogs/posts. To update an existing post, use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. To prevent duplicate slugs, you can use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also pull author and category data with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories.
To test, run a test post through the Blogs API and trigger it from RunSignup. Check both systems for the expected results and inspect logs for any errors. Adjust mappings or credentials as needed and re-test until you reach a stable flow.
Yes. Use the mapping interface to align fields or create custom fields to sync data. If a field isn’t native, store it in a metadata field and map that instead.
Slug conflicts are detected with the slug-exists check. If a slug already exists, modify it by appending a unique suffix or updating the title to generate a new slug, then publish.
Integration logs show requests, responses, and status codes. Access them in RunSignup and the Blogs API dashboard to diagnose issues and confirm successful triggers.
Yes. The no-code path provides templates and visual mapping to connect blogs and campaigns without code. If you need deeper customization, you can use the API directly, but most workflows are covered by the no-code route.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
