Authenticate to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 and ensure your access token includes the scope emails/builder.readonly to read templates and scheduling data.
Register Rankr as an OAuth client, then exchange your client credentials for access tokens to authorize requests to the Blogs API.
– GET emails/builder – emails/builder.write – POST emails/builder – POST /emails/builder/data – DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId – emails/schedule.readonly – GET emails/schedule – blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: when a new blog post is published in Blogs API.
Actions: POST to /blogs/posts to create the entry, then POST to emails/builder to craft and send the template to subscribers.
Key methods: POST /blogs/posts and POST emails/builder
Key fields: postId, templateId, locationId, slug, authorId
Trigger: post updates via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or post-update.write.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update content, then notify via a selected email template.
Key methods: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Fields: postId, slug, title, content
Trigger: new category or author added in Blogs API.
Actions: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to pull metadata into Rankr for richer taxonomy.
Paths: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors
Fields: categoryId, authorId, name
Zero-code automation: connect endpoints without writing any integration code.
Faster go-to-market: publish, update, and notify subscribers in minutes.
Unified data: manage blog content and email campaigns from a single dashboard.
This section defines core terms and processes used to connect GHL Blogs API with Rankr, including authentication, endpoints, and data mapping.
Application Programming Interface that lets Rankr and the Blogs API talk to each other by exposing endpoints you can call from workflows.
Authorization framework that issues access tokens to trusted clients after user consent, enabling secure API calls.
A specific URL path and method that performs an action or returns data from the API.
Access boundaries defined during authentication (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) that limit what a token can do.
When a new post goes live in Blogs API, automatically create an email draft and schedule it to subscribers in Rankr.
If a post is updated, trigger a notification and re-send relevant email content to readers.
Pull latest categories and authors from Blogs API into Rankr to improve filtering, personalization, and editorial workflows.
Register Rankr as an OAuth client, obtain clientId and clientSecret, and configure the required scope (emails/builder.readonly).
Use sample requests to verify authentication and endpoint responses (e.g., GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors).
Create Rankr workflows that trigger on new posts, updates, or category changes to keep content and emails in sync.
Yes. Rankr can connect to the Blogs API using OAuth 2.0. You will need a Rankr account, an OAuth client configured for the Blogs API, and the appropriate read/write scopes. After authorization, you can start building automated workflows that leverage the Blogs endpoints. If you run into permission issues, review the scope assignments and ensure the access token includes the required endpoints (e.g., blogs/categories, blogs/authors).
For basic blog automation, start with the core endpoints: GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These cover listing metadata, creating new posts, and validating slugs before publishing. As you expand, you can add email templates with POST emails/builder and connect scheduling with GET emails/schedule.
Use OAuth 2.0 with short-lived access tokens and a refresh token workflow. Store tokens securely and rotate them on a regular schedule. Avoid embedding client secrets in client-side code. Utilize Rankr’s secure vaults or server-side functions to manage token storage and renewal.
Yes. Use the Blogs API sandbox or a staging environment if available, and set a conservative test scope. Create test posts, categories, and authors to verify that Rankr workflows trigger correctly without affecting live data. Review logs and error messages to refine mappings before going live.
Deleted posts can trigger cleanup workflows or archiving rules in Rankr. If your automation relies on postId, ensure you handle soft deletes gracefully by referencing the slug or updated post state. Consider setting a retention policy for linked email campaigns and templates to avoid stale data.
Absolutely. You can map blog fields (title, content, slug, author, category) to corresponding email template fields and dynamic blocks in Rankr. This enables personalized emails that reflect the most current blog content. Use the slugExists endpoint to validate URLs before publishing and ensure consistent linking between posts and emails.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and plan. Monitor API usage in real time and implement exponential backoff for retries. If you anticipate heavy traffic (e.g., during newsletters), request rate-limit adjustments or staggered triggers to maintain reliability.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
