1) Generate an API key for the Blogs API and request read permissions to pull blog data.
2) In Zoho Calendar, authorize access for the Blogs API to create and modify events on your behalf.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors

The Blogs API is an external interface that exposes blog data (posts, categories, authors) for use in other apps. It enables read access to pull latest posts and related details into your workflows. The Zoho Calendar integration consumes this data to create and update calendar events. This pairing makes it easy to turn publishing moments into clearly scheduled tasks and reminders.
No coding is required for a straightforward setup using connectors and presets in Zoho Calendar. For advanced needs, you can mix and match endpoints to tailor field mappings and event creation. This approach lets non-developers automate content scheduling with minimal effort, while developers can customize flows if desired.
Yes. You can sync multiple blogs or categories by leveraging the Blogs API endpoints for posts, categories, and authors. Use category and author filters to refine what gets scheduled, and route each post to the appropriate calendar view or calendar group.
Test steps include authenticating the connections, performing a dry-run to pull sample posts, and verifying that calendar events are created with correct titles and dates. Check error logs for mapping mismatches and retry with corrected fields.
During syncing, you typically store the post title, URL, publish date, and the corresponding calendar event ID. No sensitive content is stored beyond what is necessary to create and reference the calendar events.
Required scopes depend on whether you only read data or also create and update events. This setup uses read access for posts plus write access to create and modify calendar events. Always limit scopes to the minimum needed for your workflow.
If you encounter failures, verify API keys and tokens, check that scopes are correct, review field mappings, and inspect error messages. Re-run the integration after applying fixes and monitor the logs for recurring issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
