Use the provided credentials and scopes to obtain a secure access token for interacting with Blogs API. Ensure your scope includes reading and posting blog data for full automation capabilities.
Configure OAuth 2.0 or an API key within Zapier to establish a trusted connection to Blogs API. Store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed.
– GET /blogs/authors — retrieve author data – GET /blogs/categories — fetch blog categories – GET /blogs/posts — list or search posts – POST /blogs/posts — create a new post – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId — update an existing post – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — verify slug availability – POST /emails/builder — compose and send email communications – POST /emails/builder/data — populate email builder data – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists — check for slug existence – GET /blogs/categories — list categories
Trigger when a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: send a summary via emails/builder to newsletter subscribers.
POST /emails/builder
title, excerpt, content, slug, publishDate
Trigger when a category or author is updated or added.
Actions: fetch categories (GET /blogs/categories) and fetch authors (GET /blogs/authors).
GET /blogs/categories
name, id, slug
Trigger on post updates or changes.
Actions: create/update a summary in a dashboard or email digest using post data.
GET /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, status
Automate content workflows quickly without writing code.
Reduce manual posting and cross-channel sharing.
Scale content programs across platforms with consistent data.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, authentication, and data mapping. Understanding these will help you design robust, repeatable automations between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
A specific API route that performs a function, such as GET /blogs/posts.
An event that starts an automation, such as a published blog post.
The operation your automation performs in response to a trigger, such as posting a new blog entry.
The HTTP method and endpoint path used for an API call (e.g., POST /blogs/posts).
When a new blog post is published in Blogs API, trigger emails/builder to craft and send a newsletter to subscribers.
Aggregate posts by category and push digests to newsletters or internal dashboards.
Notify authors when new posts are published or updated to boost engagement.
Set up OAuth or API key authorization for Blogs API within Zapier.
Choose essential endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and POST /blogs/posts to start automating.
Create triggers and actions in the Zapier UI to automate publishing, updates, and distribution.
You authenticate by configuring OAuth 2.0 or an API key in Zapier and granting the necessary scopes for Blogs API access. Ensure your app’s credentials are securely stored and tokens are refreshed as needed. In this setup, the Scope may include read and write permissions for blog data to enable full automation capabilities. Next, validate the connection by performing a simple read operation such as listing authors or categories to confirm access before building complex workflows.
For basic blog syncing, begin with endpoints like GET /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, and GET /blogs/authors to retrieve essential data. You can then add create/update capabilities using POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId as your automation needs grow. This approach minimizes complexity while ensuring reliable data flow between Blogs API and Zapier App Connector.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug already exists before creating or updating a post. This helps prevent duplicates and ensures clean URL structures across your publishing workflow. In your Zap, map the slug field from the trigger data and route through the slug check endpoint prior to posting new content.
Absolutely. You can create new posts with POST /blogs/posts and update existing posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. In Zapier, configure a trigger (for example, new post data) and an action that calls the appropriate endpoint to persist changes in Blogs API. Consider including fields like title, content, slug, and status to fully control post lifecycle from Zapier.
API providers may impose rate limits; plan your automations to handle retries gracefully and stagger requests where possible. Use pagination for list endpoints and implement exponential backoff to avoid hitting quotas during peak usage. Monitor response times and adjust trigger frequencies to balance immediacy with reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
