To connect, generate an API key for the Blogs API, assign the correct scope emails/builder.readonly, and authorize Sleekplan to access your blog data. Save credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
In Sleekplan, add a new connection using the Blogs API as the target. Provide client credentials, redirect URL, and requested scopes. Test the connection and confirm data flow.

This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields to help you design your integration.
A defined set of rules that allows applications to communicate over a network.
A specific URL in an API where a request can be made.
A method for apps to receive real time data when events happen.
The process of verifying identity before granting access to an API.
Automatically generate a Sleekplan task whenever a new blog post is published in the Blogs API.
Send reminders in Sleekplan when posts are ready for review.
Push publication dates from the Blogs API into Sleekplan’s calendar to visualize content flow.
Create an API key for the Blogs API and authorize Sleekplan to access it.
Select endpoints such as GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/categories, then set scopes like emails/builder.readonly.
Test data flows, verify mapping, and enable automations.
The Blogs API is the endpoint set that lets Sleekplan access blog data such as posts, categories, and authors. It supports operations to read and write posts, manage categories, and check slug existence. In this guide, you will learn which endpoints to enable, how to scope access, and best practices for secure connections and error handling.
Authentication uses API keys or OAuth. Create credentials in the Blogs API, configure the redirect URL in Sleekplan, and grant the requested scopes. Test the connection with sandbox data and rotate credentials regularly to maintain security.
Key syncing endpoints include GET /blogs/posts (retrieve posts), POST /blogs/posts (create posts), GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists (validate slugs), GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors (reference data). Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update posts and GET /blogs/categories for category mapping.
Yes. Most platforms offer a dev or sandbox environment. Use test credentials, mock data, and careful logging to validate flows without impacting live data. When ready, switch to production credentials.
Map fields in Sleekplan’s data mapping section. Common mappings include postId to taskId, title to name, slug to slug, and publishDate to dueDate. Validate field formats and adjust for date/time zones.
Permissions required depend on the actions you perform. Read-only flows use emails/builder.readonly; write flows use emails/builder.write or broader scopes as needed. Limit permissions to the minimum required for security.
API rate limits are defined by the Blogs API provider. Monitor response headers, implement exponential backoff, and queue requests when near limits to avoid throttling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
