Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your API key and the required scope (emails/builder.readonly). Usherpa securely stores credentials and handles token renewal as needed.
To connect Usherpa to the Blogs API, create an API key in Blogs API (or use a cross-service token) and configure the allowed scopes in Usherpa so the connector can read blog data and manage email templates.
Core endpoints used: GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/categories. These endpoints enable template creation, post creation and updates, category/author lookups, and scheduling of blog-related emails.
Trigger: A new blog post is published in Blogs API, prompting Usherpa to send a welcome or update email via the Emails Builder.
Actions: Create a post with POST /blogs/posts, check slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and pull content fields to populate email templates.
Methods: POST /blogs/posts to create, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slug, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content, categoryId, authorId.
Trigger: Use emails/schedule to queue and send blog newsletters on a recurring basis.
Actions: Read templates with GET emails/builder, schedule sends with GET emails/schedule, and assemble updates from blog endpoints.
Paths: GET emails/schedule to view upcoming sends, POST emails/builder to assemble new templates.
Fields: templateId, scheduleId, recipients, subject, body.
Trigger: Any change to a blog post triggers a sync to Usherpa’s content database.
Actions: Create or update posts using POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; fetch metadata via GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors.
Fields: postId, title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId.
Build powerful automations without writing code. Usherpa provides visual builders to map triggers to actions across the Blogs API.
Fast onboarding and scalable content workflows enable teams to publish and distribute blog content with confidence.
Centralized endpoint management gives you a single place to audit, test, and refine your automation.
This glossary defines the core elements you’ll use to connect Blogs API with Usherpa: endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and data fields.
A blog entry created or managed in the Blogs API, containing metadata like title, slug, and content.
The URL-friendly identifier derived from the post title used in the post URL.
A specific URL path you call to perform an action (create, read, update, delete) against data.
A time-based trigger or queue in Usherpa that determines when content or emails are sent.
Create a workflow that sends a recap email whenever a new post is published.
Segment audiences by category and deliver targeted updates.
Notify editors when posts require review or approval.
Obtain your Blogs API key and confirm scope (emails/builder.readonly) to enable access in Usherpa.
Enter the API key into Usherpa and authorize permissions.
Create templates and map fields to endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
No coding is required to connect Usherpa with the Blogs API. The built-in connectors provide a visual interface to map triggers to actions across the endpoints you use. You can configure data fields and templates without writing code. The platform guides you through authentication, endpoint selection, and workflow setup so you can start automating quickly.
Start with core endpoints that enable content creation and lookup, such as POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, and GET /blogs/categories. Then add scheduling and email-related endpoints (emails/builder and emails/schedule) to compose and deliver updates to subscribers.
Authentication is handled via API keys or tokens configured in Usherpa. Generate credentials for the Blogs API with the required scope and securely paste them into Usherpa’s connection settings. Test the connection to ensure endpoints respond as expected.
Yes. Use the emails/schedule endpoints to queue and send blog newsletters on a recurring cadence. You can define templates, recipients, and timing within Usherpa and monitor delivery in the endpoint responses.
Fetch categories and authors with GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors. Use these responses to populate templates and dropdown fields in Usherpa so you can tag posts correctly and personalize emails.
If a slug already exists, the endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists helps prevent duplicates. You can check before creating a post, or handle duplicates by updating the existing post with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
The full list of endpoints is documented in the content block and accessible in the ENDPOINTLIST token. You can also reference the individual endpoint paths (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories) within your workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
