Authenticate with GHL using OAuth 2.0 to obtain an access token and include it in the Authorization header when calling endpoints like GET emails/builder or POST blogs/posts.
Rankr uses API key based authentication for the integration layer. Include your API key in the X-Api-Key header when invoking the connector.
Common endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/categories.
Trigger when Rankr creates a new article, push to Blogs API to publish.
Actions: create blog post in Blogs API, set slug, publish, and notify Rankr.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, author, categories
Trigger: when a blog post is updated in Blogs API, reflect changes in Rankr.
Actions: PATCH or PUT to update post data in Blogs API and refresh Rankr records.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, tags, status
Trigger: new post activity updates Rankr dashboards in real time.
Actions: stream post data to Rankr analytics, update engagement metrics.
POST /blogs/posts
title, excerpt, slug, categories, author
Build powerful automations without writing code using a visual, drag-and-drop workflow editor.
Drag-and-drop triggers connect GHL data with Rankr in minutes, not hours.
Real-time syncing ensures your content and analytics stay fresh across systems.
This glossary defines the common terms used when connecting the GHL Blogs API with Rankr, including endpoints, authentication methods, webhooks, slugs, and data fields.
A specific URL path that lets a client access a resource or perform an action on a service.
The process of proving identity and granting access to allowed APIs.
A callback URL that receives real-time event data from an API.
A URL-friendly identifier used in posts and pages.
Trigger a new post in Blogs API when Rankr approves content, complete with scheduling and taxonomies.
Push engagement and performance metrics from Blogs API into Rankr dashboards.
Auto-create brief summaries and share them in Rankr workflows.
Obtain your GHL client credentials and your Rankr API key to authorize the connector.
Map each GHL endpoint to its Rankr counterpart in the integration settings.
Run tests, verify data sync, monitor logs, and enable live automation.
No coding is required to set up the basic connection. The visual builder lets you map GHL endpoints to Rankr fields and trigger automations with simple drag-and-drop actions. If you need specialized logic, you can still add custom transformations in the connector settings. For advanced scenarios, consult the API documentation and use the provided sample templates to tailor the workflow to your needs.
A typical setup uses endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. You can start with provisioning authentication, mapping essential fields (title, slug, content), and testing with a sample post. Then add optional endpoints for categories and authors as needed.
The integration uses standard API authentication (OAuth 2.0 for GHL and API key for Rankr). Data is transmitted over encrypted channels, and access is scoped to configured endpoints. Regular key rotation and audit logs help maintain security.
Begin with a dry run in a staging environment, using test credentials. Verify that data flows correctly between systems, check field mappings, and review error messages in the integration logs. Once the tests pass, switch to live credentials and monitor initial syncs closely.
Yes. You can customize field mappings for posts, authors, categories, and meta fields. The visual editor supports adding or removing fields, renaming mappings, and applying transformation rules to ensure data aligns with Rankr schemas.
Rate limits apply per endpoint. Plan your sync frequency accordingly (for example, hourly or near real-time for critical endpoints). If you hit a limit, implement backoff logic and staggered retries in your workflow.
Logs are accessible in Rankr’s integration panel and in the GHL audit logs. Use filters to pinpoint failed requests, check response codes, and review payload details for debugging.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
