Definitions and core processes for connecting Upfirst with Blogs API: authentication, endpoints, triggers, and data fields
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules and protocols for accessing the Blogs API features.
A specific route in the API used to perform a function, such as retrieving a post or creating a blog entry.
An authorization framework that allows Upfirst to securely access the Blogs API without exposing credentials.
A URL-friendly identifier used in blog post URLs and routing.
Turn new emails or drafts into blog posts automatically to save time and maintain cross-channel consistency.
Publish new Upfirst content to social platforms immediately after posting on your blog via Blogs API.
Bundle multiple posts into a regular newsletter sent via the Upfirst email builder.
Register API keys on both services and grant the necessary scopes for emails and blogs.
Choose endpoints such as blogs/posts and emails/builder to enable content flows.
Run test posts, verify data integrity, and then switch to live mode.
The integration enables automated blog post creation from Upfirst content and vice versa, plus email workflows managed through the Blogs API. You can set triggers to publish posts, update drafts, and push email templates to your campaigns. Start with a simple post publish flow and expand to include emails and scheduling as needed.
No coding is required for standard integrations. Use the built-in connectors to map fields and set up triggers. For advanced needs, you can customize endpoint calls or use templates to accelerate setup while keeping a no-code experience.
Authentication is handled via API keys or OAuth tokens. You’ll configure credentials in both Upfirst and the Blogs API, then grant the necessary scopes for posts, emails, and schedules. Tokens expire per provider rules and can be refreshed automatically.
Commonly used endpoints include blogs/posts for publishing, emails/builder for content templates, and emails/schedule for timed delivery. Start with GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts to establish a basic flow, then expand to scheduling and emails.
Yes. The Blogs API supports scheduling via the emails/schedule endpoint and via lifecycle triggers in Upfirst. You can prepare posts in Upfirst and schedule their publication in the Blog API on a cadence that fits your editorial calendar.
You can manage email templates and data via the emails/builder endpoints. Create, update, and delete templates from Upfirst and publish them alongside blog content as part of your automated workflows.
API documentation and setup guides are available in your developer portal for both Upfirst and the Blogs API. If anything is unclear, consult the docs or reach out to support for guidance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
