FAQ

What authentication is required?

You authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens generated in the Blogs API developer console. Then you copy the credentials into SmartEmailing s connector and verify access. Ensure the token has the scope emails builder readonly for read only operations or full access as needed. In a follow up test send a sample request and confirm a successful 200 response. The connection can be re validated anytime from the connector panel.

Essential publishing endpoints include creating posts with POST /blogs/posts and updating posts with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. You can check slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and verify categories with GET /blogs/categories. For scheduling you will use endpoints under emails schedule plus the blogs post endpoints to pull data for your campaigns.

No heavy coding is required. SmartEmailing provides no code connectors to map fields and trigger workflows. Some basic setup is needed to authorize and test the connection but you can build most automations with the visual workflow builder.

Yes. You can schedule posts by combining blogs post endpoints with the emails schedule endpoints. This lets you automatically distribute content at defined times to your audience. You can also create recurring campaigns that pull new posts weekly or monthly.

Use the built in test connection option in the SmartEmailing connector or run a dry run of your workflow. Check logs in both Blogs API and SmartEmailing for any authentication or permission errors and confirm data flows as expected.

Required data fields for creating posts include title content slug and at least one category. When scheduling provide scheduleTime templateId and recipientList. Depending on your workflow you may also include authorId and tags to enrich the post data.

Sync status appears in the connector dashboard and activity logs in both apps. You can also monitor webhook events and review recent activity to confirm successful data transfer.
