Securely connect the Blogs API to WhatsBox by obtaining API keys or OAuth credentials, then configure scopes for emails and blog content.
Grant WhatsBox the required permissions to read and write blog posts, authors, categories, and email templates within the Blogs API.
Core endpoints used: GET emails/builder; GET emails/schedule; POST /emails/builder/data; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; blogs/post.write; blogs/post-update.write; blogs/check-slug.readonly
Trigger: when a new blog post is published via the Blogs API
Actions: use blogs/post.write to create the post, then push content to WhatsBox email templates and schedule via emails/builder
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, summary, content, authorId, categoryId, publishedAt
Trigger: update a post when edited in WhatsBox
Actions: call blogs/post-update.write with postId and updated fields
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: pull latest authors and categories when needed
Actions: fetch from blogs/authors and blogs/categories to populate templates
GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories
authorName, authorBio, categoryName, categorySlug

Short answer: You can connect without writing code using no-code automation builders. The Blogs API and WhatsBox expose endpoints and triggers that you can chain with drag-and-drop actions. If you need advanced logic, you can add small scripts, but most use cases are achievable with built-in actions.
Essential workflows typically rely on creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and retrieving lists of authors (GET /blogs/authors) and categories (GET /blogs/categories). You’ll also interact with the email builder (GET emails/builder) to populate templates.
Authentication is done via API keys or OAuth credentials. Store tokens securely and implement a refresh flow so connections stay active. Rotate keys periodically and restrict scopes to the minimum required for your workflows.
Yes. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check whether a slug already exists before creating a new post. If it exists, generate a new slug or adjust the title to avoid conflicts.
Fetch authors and categories with GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map those fields into your email templates or blog post payloads to personalize content in WhatsBox campaigns.
Rate limits depend on your API plan. Implement exponential backoff and retry logic for transient errors, and monitor quota usage in the developer console to prevent interruptions.
API keys and scopes are managed in the Blogs API developer console. Assign the necessary permissions to WhatsBox so it can read posts, authors, categories, and manage email content.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
