Required scope is emails/builder.readonly to access templates and email data during integration.
Grant Rankr permission to access your GHL account and authorize connected apps.
Example endpoints involved: GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/categories; GET blogs/authors; GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET emails/schedule.
Trigger: when Rankr publishes a post, call POST /blogs/posts to create a new GHL blog entry.
Actions: map title, content, slug, category, and author from Rankr to the /blogs/posts endpoint.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, publishedAt
Trigger: update email templates in GHL when Rankr templates change.
Actions: use GET/POST to emails/builder and emails/builder/data to create and push template data.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data
templateId, locationId, subject, body
Trigger: schedule a post in Rankr to publish at a set time, then create a GHL blog post when due.
Actions: coordinate with blogs/posts scheduling and use blogs and emails endpoints to trigger actions.
POST /blogs/posts; GET emails/schedule; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Automate content workflows without custom development, using visual mappings between Rankr and GHL endpoints.
Centralize content management for blogs and emails across BigCommerce with a single integration layer.
Accelerate time-to-value with tested templates, scheduled posts, and analytics-ready data streams.
This section defines core terms used in the guide, including GHL, API endpoints, posts, slugs, categories, and authors.
GHL refers to the GHL platform (the API-first automation layer) used for connecting apps and automating workflows.
An API endpoint is a specific URL in an API that you call to perform an action (e.g., POST /blogs/posts).
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used to create clean, readable links.
A blog post is a piece of content published on your blog or storefront that can be created via the Blogs API.
Automatically publish Rankr-created posts to your BigCommerce blog via POST /blogs/posts.
Notify subscribers when new posts go live using the Emails API and GHL templates.
Validate slugs with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to maximize SEO.
In Rankr, authorize the GHL integration and select the Blogs API scope.
Choose the blog and email endpoints to enable in this connection.
Run a test, verify slug existence, and monitor logs in GHL.
No coding is required. The integration uses GHL endpoints and Rankr configurations to wire data between systems. If you prefer, you can use built-in templates and mappings to speed setup. For advanced flows, you can still customize field mappings in the Rankr dashboard.
Key endpoints include POST /blogs/posts for publishing, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates, and GET /blogs/categories or /blogs/authors to populate metadata. For email content, use GET/POST /emails/builder and /emails/builder/data. The exact endpoints you use depend on the automation you want to build.
Yes. Schedule-based publishing is supported. You can trigger a Rankr event to publish a post at a future time, then create the corresponding blog post in GHL. Use the scheduling endpoints in conjunction with the blogs workflow to automate this process.
A slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title used in the article URL. Checking for an existing slug helps prevent duplicate posts and broken links. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to ensure uniqueness.
To test your connection, run a sandbox post and a test email template from Rankr. Verify that the data maps correctly in GHL and review any error messages in the integration logs. Iterate until you see successful API responses and expected content.
There is typically no hard post limit beyond your GHL and Rankr plan limits. API rate limits and pagination apply. If needed, stagger requests or batch operations to stay within quotas.
The latest endpoints are listed in the integration’s endpoint reference within Rankr and your GHL account. We update this page whenever new endpoints are added, so check back for changes and adjust mappings accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
