To connect, obtain the required OAuth tokens or API key with the scope emails/builder.readonly. Add the connection in Zapier and test access to read builder data and blog endpoints.
In Zapier, select the Blogs API connection and complete the OAuth flow or API key setup. Ensure the connection passes test requests to endpoints like GET emails/builder and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Key endpoints covered include: GET emails/builder; 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
When a new post is published in Blogs API, Zapier can trigger downstream actions such as notifications, updates to marketing tools, or calendar events.
Actions can include sending an email or Slack alert, updating content calendars, and syncing post metadata to other apps.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness prior to posting.
If a slug exists, automatically generate a new slug or prompt for a slug edit before publishing.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug, postId
Fetch categories and authors using GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to map posts accurately.
GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, authorId
Automate content workflows without writing code, saving time and reducing manual steps.
Enable real-time data syncing between Blogs API and your marketing stack for consistent messaging.
Minimize errors with data mapping and validation across endpoints like posts, categories, and authors.
This glossary defines terms and processes used in the integration between Blogs API and the Zapier App Connector.
An Application Programming Interface that allows applications to communicate and share data.
A URL-friendly string that uniquely identifies a post within a blog.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action or returns data.
An authorization framework that enables secure access to APIs without sharing passwords.
Notify your team on new posts via Slack or email when a post is created in Blogs API.
Automatically push new posts to social channels and email newsletters using endpoint mappings.
Coordinate drafts, reviews, and publication with data mapped from Blogs API into your workflows.
Add a new Blogs API connection in Zapier and provide credentials or authorize via OAuth 2.0.
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories, then map fields between Apps.
Run tests, verify data flow, and enable automation in production.
Blogs API supports OAuth 2.0 and API keys. Use OAuth 2.0 where possible for secure, token-based access and apply the scope emails/builder.readonly to read builder data. If you’re using an API key, keep it secure and restrict it to the necessary endpoints. In Zapier, configure the connection to obtain the access token and test access to read builder resources.
For creating and updating posts, you will typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update. You may also use blogs/post.write and blogs/post-update.write depending on the action model in your workflow. Map required fields such as title, content, slug, categoryId, and authorId to ensure data integrity.
To avoid duplicates, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with your desired slug before publishing. If the slug exists, generate a unique slug or modify the title to create a new slug. This helps maintain clean URLs and prevents overwriting existing posts.
Fetch available blog categories with GET /blogs/categories. If you need category details, use GET /blogs/category.readonly to understand category structures. Mapping categoryId ensures posts land in the correct category and helps with organization and discovery.
Obtain author data using GET /blogs/authors. You can map authorId to posts to attribute content correctly. If you need author details, use GET /blogs/author.readonly to review available fields and relationships.
Typical scopes include read access like emails/builder.readonly. Ensure your connected app requests only the necessary permissions. Test the connection by reading builder data and listing blogs resources to confirm proper scope and access.
If requests fail, verify credentials, ensure the correct base URL, and confirm the endpoint paths. Check rate limits, retry logic, and verify the scope. Review mapping accuracy in your Zapier templates and test with sample data to isolate issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
