To use the Blogs API CIM, obtain your API credentials from the GHL developer portal and securely store them in Rankr’s integration settings. Use these credentials to sign requests and refresh tokens as needed.
Rankr authenticates to GHL using the API credentials you supplied. Ensure least privilege scopes are applied and rotate keys regularly.
Key endpoints used: GET emails/builder; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors.
Trigger: New content item created in Rankr.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create the blog post with title, excerpt, content, and publishDate. Map fields from Rankr to GHL payload.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, categoryId, publishDate
Trigger: Rankr content is updated.
Actions: Use PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update fields such as title and content.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Draft created in Rankr.
Actions: Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug uniqueness; if exists, modify slug.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug

Set up a trigger in Rankr that creates a new blog post in GHL when a draft is approved.
When a post is edited in GHL, reflect changes in Rankr tasks or notes.
Validate slug existence and automatically adjust to avoid duplicates.
In GHL, create or locate your API credentials, then securely store them in Rankr.
Define which Rankr fields map to GHL payload fields and enable the required scopes.
Run a test publish, verify data integrity, and monitor for errors.
The CIM integration connects Rankr to GHL Blogs API to automate blog-related tasks. It handles authentication, data mapping, and publishing workflows without coding. You can trigger creates, updates, and slug checks using the defined endpoints.
Essential endpoints include POST /blogs/posts to create posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique slugs.
Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists before publishing to avoid duplicates. If slug exists, modify accordingly.
Authentication uses API credentials from GHL. Store them securely and rotate regularly. Use scope emails/builder.readonly as appropriate.
Yes. Changes in Rankr can trigger updates in GHL and vice versa via webhooks and endpoints.
If you hit rate limits, implement backoff and retries, and review quota in the GHL developer console.
Monitor health via logs in Rankr and periodic checks of endpoint responses; set up alerts for failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
