To start, generate API credentials for Blogs API and configure the connection in Zapier App Connector with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). This ensures read access to essential blog and post data.
In Zapier, create a connection by supplying client credentials, tokens, and the chosen scope. Ensure the connection is active before testing your workflows.
Key endpoints include: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/check-slug.readonly, and related endpoints for categories and authors.
Trigger when a new blog post is created in Blogs API to push notifications to Team SMS.
Actions can include sending messages, updating post status, and scheduling reminders.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, author_id, category_id
Trigger when a blog post is updated or published.
Send an update to Team SMS including post URL, status, and publication date.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, status, updated_at
Trigger when categories or authors change in Blogs API.
Update category and author lists in Team SMS workflows and notify relevant channels.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name
Build automated editorial workflows without writing any code.
Keep Team SMS in sync with published content across channels.
Scale your content operations as you publish more posts and categories.
This section covers endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields essential for Blogs API and Zapier App Connector integration.
A set of rules and endpoints that allow software to talk to Blogs API securely.
A standard for secure delegated access between apps.
An HTTP method used to submit data to an endpoint.
A URL-friendly identifier for a piece of content.
Send draft or published-post alerts to your SMS channel for faster feedback.
Remind editors about scheduled posts and deadlines in Team SMS.
Share weekly analytics about posts’ reach and engagement via SMS.
Create a client in Blogs API and copy the client ID and secret.
Enter scope emails/builder.readonly and authorize the connection.
Create triggers and actions in Zapier, then run tests to verify the flow.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that exposes endpoints to manage posts, categories, and authors. It enables you to pull, create, update, and organize blog content from external tools. You can access documentation to learn about rate limits, error codes, and best practices for secure usage. To get started, obtain your API keys from the Blogs API console and configure them in the Zapier App Connector.
Common endpoints for blog content and metadata include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), listing posts (GET /blogs/posts), and retrieving categories or authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). You can combine these with Team SMS triggers to notify your team about new or updated content. Review the endpoint list in the docs for a complete reference.
No traditional coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual workflow editor where you can set up triggers, actions, and filters. However, understanding basic REST concepts and your API credentials helps you design robust automations more quickly.
Security is handled via standard OAuth or API keys, with scoped access defined by your API configuration. Use secure storage for credentials, rotate keys periodically, and audit connection activity. If your organization enforces IP whitelisting or additional security layers, configure them in both Blogs API and Zapier.
Yes. Most integrations offer a test mode or sandbox environment. Use this to simulate posts, status changes, and notifications without affecting live data. Validate that triggers fire correctly and that Team SMS messages render as expected before going live.
Required fields for creating a blog post typically include title, content, and at least one author or category reference. Optional fields may include excerpt, slug, and publish date. Your exact schema is defined in the Blogs API docs and can be mapped in Zapier as part of the Create Post action.
If authentication fails, verify client credentials, token validity, and that the requested scope matches your needs. Check your Apps Connector logs, refresh tokens if supported, and ensure the Blogs API is reachable from your network. Consult the docs and try re-authenticating if necessary.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
