Obtain API credentials and grant necessary permissions for read/write access in Sub-Zap by Zapier.
Choose endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories; map fields such as title, content, slug, category, and author.
Run tests, verify data flow, fix mappings if needed, and then deploy the automation.
You authenticate using OAuth or an API key provided by the Blogs API. In Sub-Zap by Zapier, enter your credentials and select the appropriate scopes for reading and writing blog data. This connection establishes a secure channel for data exchange. Test the connection with a sample POST to create a blog post to ensure the payload is correctly formatted. If needed, adjust your field mappings to align with title, content, slug, and metadata.
For a basic blog posting workflow, you typically need POST /blogs/posts to create posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update them. You may also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs before publishing. Mapping title, content, slug, category, and author ensures a complete post is created in one step.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness before publishing. This helps prevent duplicate posts and preserves SEO. Include a fallback slug generation step if a slug already exists.
No heavy coding is required. Sub-Zap by Zapier provides a no-code interface to map fields, set triggers, and configure actions using the Blogs API endpoints. You can build end-to-end automation with simple drag-and-drop steps.
Use the built-in test feature in Sub-Zap by Zapier to simulate triggers and actions. Validate payloads, verify that posts are created in Blogs API, and confirm slug validity. Once tests pass, enable the workflow and monitor logs for any errors.
