Access is secured via OAuth 2.0 tokens and API keys. Your requests must include a valid access token and the scope emails/builder.readonly as configured in the CSV. Always store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Xola authenticates to Blogs API by exchanging client credentials for an access token, then using that token in API requests to perform actions and fetch data.
Core endpoints you’ll use with this integration include emails/builder for email templates and sends, and a suite of Blogs endpoints (such as /blogs/posts, /blogs/categories, and /blogs/authors) to manage posts, categories, and authors. The list below highlights typical paths and their purposes.
Trigger: A new blog post is published in Blogs API (POST /blogs/posts).
Action: Send a notification email to subscribers via Emails Builder (POST /emails/builder).
POST /blogs/posts
title, urlSlug, postId, author
Trigger: When a blog post is updated in Blogs API (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) or via POST /blogs/post-update.write.
Action: Notify subscribers with the updated post details using Emails Builder.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, slug, updatedDate
Trigger: When new categories or authors are added via Blogs API endpoints GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors.
Action: Dispatch welcome or update emails to relevant segments via Emails Builder.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
categoryId, name, authorId
Automate content-to-email workflows without writing code.
Centralize triggers and marketing actions in one bridge.
Speed up deployment with ready endpoints and templates.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields. This section defines terms to help you design, test, and deploy your Xola–Blogs API integration.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of endpoints you call to read, create, update, or delete data in Blogs API and Xola.
Resource paths such as /blogs/posts, /emails/builder, /blogs/categories, and /blogs/authors that expose distinct actions.
A URL-friendly identifier used in post URLs and SEO.
A mechanism to receive real-time updates when events occur in either system.
Turn weekly posts into a summarized newsletter for subscribers and drive engagement.
Translate posts to support regional audiences and expand reach.
Send gentle reminders about older posts to re-capture interest.
Obtain client credentials and grant the Blogs API scope (emails/builder.readonly).
Select and map endpoints you will use (for example, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /emails/builder).
Test triggers and actions in a staging environment, then deploy to production.
No advanced coding is required. The integration uses standard REST calls and simple field mappings in the page builder to connect Xola events to Emails Builder actions. If you need custom logic, you can add lightweight middleware or webhooks to extend behavior without changing core endpoints.
Essential endpoints depend on your workflow. For content publishing, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help avoid duplicates. For email automation, POST /emails/builder and related GET endpoints for categories/authors support personalization and targeting.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 tokens with an API key as a backup. Store tokens securely and rotate regularly. Request the minimal necessary scope (e.g., emails/builder.readonly during retrieval) and keep credentials confidential.
Yes. You can trigger emails automatically when posts publish by wiring the POST /blogs/posts event to POST /emails/builder. Map fields like title and slug to your email template to personalize messages.
Slug existence checks help prevent duplicate posts and improve SEO. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before creating a post. Maintain consistent slug strategy to maximize search visibility.
Test in a staging environment with mock data. Verify that triggers fire correctly and that emails render as expected. Monitor logs and set up alerts for authentication or mapping issues.
Endpoint documentation is available in the developer portal. Look for the REST reference under /blogs and /emails endpoints, with examples and request/response schemas. If you need help, contact support or join the integration community.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
