To authorize the Blogs API, obtain an API key or OAuth credentials from the GHL developer console and grant Rankr the requested scopes. This ensures secure, token-based access to blog and email data.
In Rankr, open Integrations > GHL Blogs API and enter your API key or OAuth details. Verify the connection with a test request to confirm access to blogs and emails.

Configure a trigger in Rankr to pull the latest post data from Blogs API and send targeted emails to subscribers using the emails/builder endpoints.
Actions include: GET emails/builder to fetch templates, POST /blogs/posts to publish, and POST emails/builder to compose a campaign. Map post metadata to email content for automation.
Key methods: GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, POST emails/builder
Key fields: title, slug, author, categories, publish_date, recipient_list
Trigger-based scheduling aligns blog publication with email sends and social posts using the blogs/posts and emails/schedule endpoints.

Automate end-to-end content workflows without writing a line of code by linking blog data to email campaigns and scheduling.
Centralize content data in one integration to speed up publishing and ensure consistency across channels like email and blog.
Easily test, map fields, and deploy updates with a visual workflow, reducing time-to-value.
Learn the core elements and processes used in the Blogs API integration with Rankr, including endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and automation workflows.
The GHL API is the programmatic interface provided by the GHL platform to access endpoints for emails, schedules, blogs, and authors. Access is controlled by tokens and scopes.
Blogs API refers to the GHL endpoints that manage blog posts, categories, authors, and related publishing data.
Specific URL paths (e.g., /blogs/posts, /emails/builder) used to perform actions like create, read, update, and delete resources.
A slug is a URL-friendly version of a post title used to create readable URLs for blog posts.
Automatically pull product updates from Rankr and publish as draft posts via the Blogs API, then queue email updates to subscribers.
Generate weekly newsletters by aggregating latest blog posts, and distribute through the emails/builder workflow.
Draft posts with SEO-friendly metadata using slug checks and category mapping before publishing.
In Rankr, go to Integrations > GHL Blogs API and provide your API key or OAuth credentials to establish a secure connection.
Define triggers for new posts, updates, and email sends. Map fields between Blogs API resources and Rankr workflows.
Run test requests to create a post, fetch templates, and send a test email. Review logs and then deploy to production.
The connection uses token-based authentication (API keys or OAuth) and enforces scope restrictions to limit access to the minimum required data. All traffic is transmitted over HTTPS to protect data in transit. Regular rotation of credentials and monitoring help maintain security. If you suspect a breach, revoke tokens immediately from the GHL developer console.
For basic publishing, you’ll typically use endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to publish and GET /blogs/categories to categorize. You may also use GET emails/builder to fetch templates and POST emails/builder to create campaigns that promote the post. Slug checks via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists help ensure unique URLs.
Yes. You can configure Rankr to publish or schedule posts across multiple channels by tying the blogs/posts endpoints to your emails and scheduling endpoints. This enables synchronized publishing that aligns with your email campaigns and other outreach.
A basic setup can be done without coding by using built-in connectors, triggers, and field mapping in Rankr. Advanced scenarios may require simple scripting or conditional logic, but the majority of common workflows are achievable through the UI.
Use the test or sandbox mode provided in the integration panel to simulate publishing, fetching templates, and sending emails. Review API responses and logs, adjust mappings, and re-test until results are as expected.
Yes. You can update posts after publishing by calling PUT /blogs/posts/:postId with the desired changes. Ensure you republish or re-index related SEO fields as needed for consistency.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal. Look for the Blogs API section to find endpoint references, authentication details, and example requests. The docs also include best practices and rate limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
