Use OAuth 2.0 with the required scopes for the Blogs API (for example: emails/builder.readonly). This ensures secure access when connecting through the Zapier App Connector. Store credentials securely and refresh tokens as needed.
Zapier App Connector uses OAuth 2.0 to authorize access to your Blogs API resources. After you grant permission, the connector can trigger actions and pull data securely on your behalf.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New or updated email templates in the Blogs API connection.
Actions: Read, create, update, or delete email templates using GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE endpoints.
Paths used: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId.
Key fields: locationId, templateId, subject, content, location.
Trigger: New or updated blog posts in Blogs API.
Actions: Create, update, fetch posts; check slug; and publish posts.
Paths: POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Fields: postId, slug, title, content, authorId, categoryId.

The process of proving identity to access protected resources.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post or page.
Set up a trigger on new posts and push a summary to your CMS or Slack channel.
After publishing, automatically assemble and send an email digest to subscribers.
Check slug uniqueness and consistency before publishing to maintain SEO health.
Open Zapier, select the Blogs API connector, and authorize the connection to your account.
Choose endpoints (emails and blogs) and map fields for templates and posts.
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable automation in production.
Blogs API connections typically support OAuth 2.0 for secure access. When you connect via Zapier App Connector, you will authorize the app to access your Blogs API resources, granting tokens with scoped permissions such as emails/builder.readonly. This ensures that only the allowed endpoints and data are accessible. The connector handles token refreshes automatically so your automations run without manual re-authentication.
The available endpoints cover email templates and blog content. For emails, you can read, create, update, or delete templates (emails/builder and /emails/builder/data). For blogging, you can create and update posts (blogs/posts), check slug existence (blogs/check-slug.readonly and /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and manage categories and authors (blogs/categories, blogs/authors). Use the UI to map fields and define the data you want to move between systems.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to select triggers and actions, map fields, and configure workflow logic. You can assemble multi-step automations by chaining endpoints for emails and blogs without writing code.
To test, create a test connection in Zapier, run the trigger to pull sample data, and perform test actions (read/create/update). Validate that data appears in the destination system and that error messages are clear. Use the built-in testing tools to simulate real-world flows before going live.
Absolutely. You can tailor triggers to specific events (e.g., new blog post, slug check results) and map only the fields you need. Conditional logic and multi-step paths let you customize how data moves between the Blogs API and other apps in Zapier.
If an API call fails, Zapier will surface the error with a message and status code. You can set up retry logic, handle partial failures, and adjust field mappings to ensure resilience. Monitoring and alerting help you resolve issues quickly.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Plan for occasional retries and implement backoff strategies within Zapier. If you anticipate high-volume traffic, consider batching requests or staggering triggers to stay within limits. Support is available if you experience persistent rate-related issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
