To securely call the Blogs API from your Zillow Tech Connect workspace, you’ll use OAuth 2.0 tokens and scoped access. Start by generating an API key or OAuth credentials with permissions for both blogs and emails endpoints, then rotate tokens regularly and follow the least‑privilege access approach.
Zillow Tech Connect authenticates against the GHL API using client credentials and access tokens. Ensure your app is registered, whitelisted, and that token refresh is automated to maintain uninterrupted integrations.
Core endpoints you’ll leverage include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/schedule, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/post.write, blogs/post-update.write, blogs/check-slug.readonly. These endpoints enable creating and updating emails and blog posts, validating slugs, and fetching author and category data to power unified automation.
Trigger: a new post is created in Zillow Tech Connect, then you publish via POST /blogs/posts.
Actions: create a new blog post with title, content, slug, and categories; set publish status and schedule when needed.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, summary, slug, categoryId, authorId
Trigger: new or updated email templates in Emails Builder.
Actions: pull subject, body, and schedule details to craft corresponding blog campaigns; link templates to posts.
GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId
Key fields: templateId, locationId, subject, content, schedule
Trigger: a blog post is updated in Zillow Tech Connect.
Actions: update post data in Blogs API, refresh slug, sync categories and metadata.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, slug, title, content
Automate repetitive publishing and email tasks without writing code, freeing time for strategy and creative work.
Keep blog content and email campaigns in sync across platforms for a consistent brand voice and improved deliverability.
Centralized data access reduces errors and speeds up testing, deployment, and reporting.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mappings. The process to get started is: configure credentials, select endpoints, define triggers and actions, map fields, test calls, and go live.
A set of rules and protocols that allow different software systems to communicate with each other.
A specific URL where a service can be accessed to perform an action or retrieve data.
The method used to verify identity and grant access, typically API keys or OAuth tokens.
A URL‑friendly, human readable identifier for a blog post used in the web address.
Automatically convert saved Zillow searches into blog posts in Blogs API, then publish to your site and promote via email campaigns in Zillow Tech Connect.
Use email campaign triggers to generate blog ideas and seed posts in Blogs API, keeping your content fresh and aligned with audience interests.
Automatically update blog posts when campaigns update and mirror key changes to email templates for consistent messaging across channels.
Create API keys or OAuth credentials with access to blogs and emails endpoints. Save client ID and secret securely and set the required scopes.
In your app, specify the base URLs for blogs and emails endpoints, assign the needed permissions, and map fields between systems.
Run test calls for create, read, update, and delete actions. Once confirmed, set up automation rules to trigger on blog and email events.
You can set up basic integrations without code by using API keys and prebuilt actions. Start with creating posts and templates, then use triggers to automate workflows. If you do prefer code, the APIs support standard HTTP calls and JSON payloads to customize behaviors. The no‑code path is designed to be beginner‑friendly while still powerful for advanced users.
Begin with core endpoints like POST /blogs/posts and GET emails/builder to validate basic publish and retrieval flows. Pair these with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicate slugs. As you gain confidence, expand to PUT /blogs/posts/:postId and POST /emails/builder/data for richer content and scheduling.
Use OAuth or API keys with scoped permissions and rotate credentials regularly. Store tokens securely, and implement token refresh logic. Enforce least privilege by granting only the endpoints you need for a given workflow.
Yes. Use sandbox or test endpoints if available, or run in a staging environment with dummy data. Validate payloads and review error responses before pushing to production to prevent unintended edits.
If a slug already exists, use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to confirm and then modify the slug. Implement a slug generation strategy to keep all posts unique.
Use logging and dashboards to monitor API calls, success rates, and latency. Set up alerts for failures and implement retry logic. Regularly review endpoint usage to optimize performance.
Payload examples are available in the API reference and integration guides. Look for sample requests for POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories to understand the required fields. If you’re missing samples, we provide template payloads you can adapt.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
