To authorize, create credentials for Blogs API, then grant the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) and securely store the API key or OAuth token.
In Sortd for Gmail, add a new app connection using your Blogs API credentials, then map the client ID and secret and select the necessary scopes to read emails and publish posts.

The Blogs API powers blog creation and management from your emails within Sortd for Gmail. It lets you draft, publish, and update posts using familiar email workflows. By connecting Blogs API, you can convert meaningful emails into blog content without leaving your inbox. This enables a cohesive content creation process and faster publication cycles.
No heavy coding is required. The integration relies on app connections, API credentials, and pre-defined triggers and actions. You’ll configure triggers in Sortd for Gmail and map fields to the Blogs API endpoints. For advanced needs, you may extend mappings using optional fields, but a no-code setup covers most use cases.
Essential endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) to ensure unique URLs. Additionally, reading endpoints (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors) help populate metadata when drafting posts. These form the core for publishing from emails.
Yes. You can schedule posts by creating a post with a publish date or by using a scheduling workflow that updates the post status at a future time. Use POST /blogs/posts to create and then set the publishDate with the appropriate field mapping. Always validate the publish date in your test run.
Authentication uses standard OAuth or API keys, with scoped access to the required endpoints (e.g., emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and follow least-privilege practices to minimize risk.
Yes. You can map custom fields from Sortd for Gmail to blog post fields such as title, content, slug, and custom metadata. This ensures posts reflect the exact data you capture in emails and drafts.
If you hit API rate limits, you can implement throttling in your workflow, queue requests, or stagger posts. Consider using batch-like operations where supported and caching results for non-changing data to reduce repeated calls.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
