Use secure OAuth tokens or API keys to authorize the Blogs API access to your GHL account and ensure permissions cover both emails and blog operations.
Grant Rankr the necessary permissions to read and write blog data through the GHL API, including endpoints for emails and blogs.

Map fields, set triggers, and run a test to verify data flow.
The Blogs API acts as your bridge between Rankr and GHL, enabling you to create, update, and manage blog content from Rankr while leveraging GHL endpoints for emails and blogs. This integration streamlines content workflows without leaving either platform. By configuring triggers and actions, you can automate publishing and keep data in sync across systems. This section helps you understand what data flows where and how to map fields so that your blog posts, drafts, and updates appear in the right places in both Blogs API and your GHL account.
No advanced coding is required for this setup. The integration is designed as a no-code connector that uses API keys or OAuth tokens and pre-defined endpoints. You’ll configure mappings, triggers, and actions through user-friendly UI panels, then test the flow with sample data. If you do run into edge cases, you can still leverage lightweight scripts or automation rules within Rankr to customize how data moves between systems.
Key GHL endpoints for blogging include endpoints related to emails and blog posts, such as emails/builder, emails/schedule, blogs/posts, and blogs/authors. These endpoints enable you to pull, create, and update blog content while coordinating email templates and scheduling. Understanding these endpoints helps you design reliable flows for drafting, updating, and publishing posts from Rankr into your GHL workspace.
Yes. With proper triggers and field mappings, Rankr can automatically publish blog posts to the Blogs API when certain events occur (for example, a draft is approved or a schedule is reached). You can also configure post-status updates so readers are notified when new content goes live.
Testing is done via a sandbox or staging flow that uses sample data to verify field mappings and endpoint calls. You can run end-to-end tests—from creating a post in Rankr to its appearance in the Blogs API and confirmation in GHL. Review the test logs to confirm success and adjust mappings if needed.
If a field mapping changes (for example, a new slug format or a different category ID), update the mapping in Rankr and re-run the test. Most integrations support versioned mappings so you can roll back if needed. Always re-test critical flows after any schema adjustment.
Error logs and event histories are available in both Rankr and GHL dashboards. Check API call traces, response codes, and webhook deliveries to diagnose issues. You can enable verbose logging for deeper insights during troubleshooting.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
