Test triggers and actions and enable logging before going live
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for creating updating and retrieving blog data. When connected with SightMill you can automate post creation from drafts and sync updates in real time. This integration helps keep content aligned across platforms and accelerates publishing workflows without coding.
For publishing posts you will typically use POST /blogs/posts and check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can also fetch authors and categories to populate fields. Test each step to ensure mapping aligns with your editorial process.
No code options exist through prebuilt connectors and templates. Some advanced scenarios may require minor mappings or rules. Most teams can deploy the core flow with drag and drop configuration.
Supported methods include API keys and OAuth 2.0 depending on the Blogs API setup. Use the method that provides least privilege and rotate credentials regularly.
Test the integration in a sandbox or staging environment. Validate triggers, data mapping, and error handling. Review logs to identify failures and refine mappings.
Yes. You can map title content slug author category and custom fields. Slug generation can be automated and metadata pushed to the Blogs API as part of post creation.
Monitoring is available via API response codes and logs in SightMill and the Blogs API dashboard. Watch for rate limits and retry behavior to keep the integration reliable.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
