Easily maintain data consistency between your CMS, email campaigns, and social channels.
Key elements include API endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, fields, and data mappings used to automate workflows.
Application Programming Interface; a set of rules that lets different software applications communicate.
A specific URL on an API that performs a defined operation.
An event that starts a workflow in Zapier App Connector.
An operation executed in response to a trigger, such as creating or updating a record.
When a new blog post goes live in Blogs API, automatically draft and schedule an email campaign in the Emails Builder via Zapier App Connector.
Publish new content to the blog, push a notification to project channels, and queue social posts with one workflow.
Before publishing, verify slug uniqueness with the slug exists endpoint and adjust metadata if needed.
Connect your Blogs API account to Zapier App Connector using your API key or OAuth credentials.
Select the endpoints you will use (posts, categories, authors, and emails) and map them to triggers and actions in Zapier.
Run tests to verify data flow, fix mappings, and enable the workflow in production.
The Blogs API is a RESTful interface that lets you manage posts, authors, categories, and related data. It enables programmatic content management and integration with other apps. In this guide, you’ll learn how to connect it to the Zapier App Connector to automate publishing and notifications. The combination lets you orchestrate content workflows without writing code.
Authenticate using API keys or OAuth tokens within Zapier. Store credentials securely, rotate keys periodically, and apply least-privilege access based on the workflow. This ensures your data stays protected while enabling seamless automation.
Common endpoints include posts, categories, authors, emails, and scheduling. You’ll typically use POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate a slug, and GET /blogs/categories to manage categories. These endpoints support triggers and actions in Zapier.
Yes. You can trigger on events like a new post, updates to a post, or a change in categorization. Map these triggers to actions in Zapier to drive downstream workflows such as email campaigns or cross-channel promotions.
Use the slug exists endpoint to confirm a slug isn’t already in use before publishing. If it exists, you can modify the slug or retry after updating the post metadata within Zapier.
No coding is required. The Zapier App Connector provides a visual interface to configure triggers, actions, and data mappings between Blogs API and other apps.
Start with authentication, then connect essential endpoints (posts, emails, and categories). Create a simple workflow to publish a post and send a promotional email, then expand with additional triggers and actions as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
