Authenticate calls to the Blogs API with a Bearer token and the required scopes. For this integration, include the emails/builder.readonly scope to access templates and signing data associated with blog content.
SignRequest uses an API key or Bearer token. Generate your SignRequest API key and include it in the Authorization header when calling the Blogs API endpoints.

No coding is required to get started. Use built in automations and connectors to trigger SignRequest creation when a blog post is published. You can leverage webhooks and ready made endpoints to handle updates without writing code. If you need more complex logic, you can add custom scripting later.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to publish or announce new posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs, and the SignRequest related endpoints to generate and attach signatures. You may also use GET /emails/schedule and POST /emails/builder/data to manage reminders and signer communications.
Calls between Blogs API and SignRequest are authenticated with a Bearer token for the Blogs API and an API key or Bearer token for SignRequest. Ensure the required scopes are granted and include the token in the Authorization header for each request.
Yes. Webhooks can notify your app about events such as post published, signature status, and reminder triggers. Configure secure webhook endpoints and verify signatures to keep data safe.
Common data exchanged includes the blog post URL, signer email, postId, templateId, and signing status. The SignRequest object links to the Blogs API post and updates as the sign process progresses.
Rate limits vary by endpoint. Plan retries and consider batching operations where possible. If you expect spikes, implement exponential backoff and monitor quota usage in both dashboards.
Error details appear in the Blogs API and SignRequest dashboards as well as in webhook payloads. Enable error notifications to receive alerts and use logs to diagnose failed requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
