Obtain a Blogs API key with the necessary scopes and securely store it in APITemplate-io. Use this key to authorize requests from GHL to Blogs API.
Rankr uses API tokens or OAuth2; grant APITemplate-io access to act on Rankr data within GHL.
Endpoints used include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /emails/schedule, blogs/post.write, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts
Trigger: When a new blog post is drafted in Rankr
Actions: fetch blog content (GET /blogs/posts), render in an email using templates (POST /emails/builder), and schedule delivery (GET /emails/schedule, POST /emails/builder/data)
Method paths: GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data
Key fields: postId, templateId, locationId, slug
Trigger: a post is published in Rankr
Actions: verify slug with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, create/update the post with POST /blogs/posts or PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, then notify subscribers via emails
Method paths: POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /emails/builder
postId, slug, authorId
Trigger: new Rankr post is ready
Actions: render content for email via blogs/post data, populate templates via POST /emails/builder/data, schedule via POST /emails/schedule
Method paths: GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /emails/schedule
templateId, postId, locationId
No-code automation lets you connect data without writing code.
Faster content-to-campaign workflows via templates and endpoints.
Unified analytics from Blogs API and GHL in one dashboard.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and fields used in the integration.
GHL is the API platform used for integrations; in this content it refers to the GHL API ecosystem.
Application Programming Interface that enables programmatic access to resources like blogs and emails.
A specific URL path exposed by an API to access a resource or perform an action.
A mechanism for event-driven notifications from GHL or Blogs API to your system.
Automatically compile new posts and send a digest email to subscribers using templates.
Synchronize Rankr’s editorial calendar with GHL tasks for reminders and ownership.
Notify teams when posts are optimized for SEO or reach a published state.
Obtain API keys from Blogs API and authorize APITemplate-io to access your GHL workspace.
Set up endpoint mappings and data fields between Blogs API and GHL actions (e.g., emails/builder, blogs/posts).
Run test scenarios, review logs, and deploy the workflow to production with monitoring.
APITemplate-io provides a no-code builder, so you can connect Blogs API to GHL without writing code. Authenticate with an API key, map fields between endpoints, and assemble triggers and actions using a visual editor. This makes common automations fast and approachable for most users. If you need more customization, you can add simple logic with webhooks or optional scripting, but the no-code path covers the majority of use cases.
Essential endpoints for typical automations include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId. These endpoints enable template creation, post creation and updates, slug validation, category/author access, and scheduling. Using these building blocks, you can orchestrate blog-to-email workflows, publish posts, and keep subscribers informed without custom code.
To check a slug, call GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists with the slug parameter. If the slug exists, you can adjust the slug or handle the conflict in your workflow. APITemplate-io can expose this check as a conditional step, so downstream actions only run when the slug is unique.
Yes. You can schedule emails when a post is published by linking the blogs post publish event to the emails/schedule flow. First fetch the blog content (GET /blogs/posts), render it into an email (POST /emails/builder /data), then queue delivery (GET /emails/schedule).
If authentication fails, verify your API key scopes and that the key is active for the APITemplate-io integration. Reauthorize if needed and check for rate limits or IP restrictions. Ensuring the correct permissions on both Blogs API and GHL side resolves most issues.
Test integrations in a staging or sandbox workspace. Use test posts and templates to validate mappings, triggers, and outputs. Review logs in APITemplate-io and GHL connectors, and adjust field mappings as needed.
Monitor endpoint errors using the built-in logs and alerting features. Look for authentication failures, permission issues, or data mapping mismatches. Use test runs and incremental deployments to isolate and fix problems quickly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
