Authenticate the Sawyer Tools connection to the Blogs API using the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and an API key. Use OAuth where supported and rotate credentials regularly for best security.
Configure Sawyer Tools with the correct API keys and scopes to authorize requests to the Blogs API endpoints and ensure secure data exchange.
Available endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/authors, blogs/post.write, blogs/post-update.write, blogs/check-slug.readonly, blogs/category.readonly, blogs/author.readonly, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, DELETE /blogs/posts/:postId. Refer to your workload to map the appropriate endpoints for your automation needs.

Drag-and-drop integration setup without writing code
Automations run in a visual workflow designer for rapid iteration
Consistent data sync across systems via scalable APIs
Core concepts include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, payload structures, and data mapping between Blogs API and Sawyer Tools.
A specific URL and HTTP method that performs a defined action in an API.
The process of verifying identity and authorizing access to API resources.
A callback URL that notifies your app when a specific event occurs.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in URLs.
Automatically push new blog posts to Sawyer Tools tasks and dashboards for follow-up.
Sync blog posts to email campaigns to inform subscribers instantly.
Create a summarized digest view in Sawyer Tools for at-a-glance performance.
Create an API key and set scopes (emails/builder.readonly) for read access and secure use.
Map endpoints to Sawyer Tools automations and validate connections with test data.
Run tests, review logs, and deploy the integration to production.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for retrieving, creating, updating, and managing blog content and related assets. You can pull posts, categories, and authors, or push new content and updates from Sawyer Tools. Start with the core endpoints for posts and emails, then layer in scheduling and category management as needed. Always test each endpoint with sample data to confirm payload structures.
Authentication is achieved with API keys and the correct scopes (such as emails/builder.readonly). Keep keys secure, rotate credentials periodically, and use OAuth where supported. In Sawyer Tools, store keys in a secure credential vault and reference them in your automations to avoid hard-coding secrets.
Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment if available to validate workflows without affecting live data. Create test posts, mock email templates, and simulate triggers to confirm that your automations fire correctly before going live.
In most setups, fields map from the Blogs API response to Sawyer Tools payloads (title, slug, content, authorId). You can customize mappings in your workflow to ensure data lands in the right fields. If a field is missing, use a default value or create a transformation step in the automation.
Common errors include invalid credentials, insufficient scopes, and rate limit errors. Use retry logic with exponential backoff, log detailed error messages, and monitor endpoint usage to stay within limits.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan for burst handling and implement backoff strategies in your automations. Regularly review quotas in your API provider dashboard and adjust polling intervals accordingly.
You can view connection status and logs in Sawyer Tools’ integration dashboard and via endpoint response logs. Enable verbose logging during setup and monitor dashboards to quickly identify failed calls and retry requirements.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
