To begin, generate API credentials for the Blogs API and grant the Rankr app the scope emails/builder.readonly to view and orchestrate blog and email workflows.
In Rankr, create an API key or OAuth connection and authorize access to the Blogs API within your GHL account.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, GET emails/builder.write, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, POST /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts (create), PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update), POST /emails/builder (create), POST /emails/builder/data (populate).
Trigger: when a new post is approved in Rankr, create a draft post in Blogs via POST /blogs/posts and set up a follow-up email.
Actions: createPost, updatePost, setSlug, assignCategory, publishWhenReady; align image/media with the post.
POST /blogs/posts (create) and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update) to keep content synced.
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status.
Trigger: new categories or authors added in Rankr should populate/get reflected in Blogs (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Actions: fetchCategories, fetchAuthors, mapToGHL fields, cache to prevent duplicates.
GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors (read-only) for reference; use POST/PUT to create or update when needed.
Fields: categoryId, name, slug; authorId, name, slug.
Trigger: when a blog post goes live, trigger an email via the Emails API.
Actions: composeAndSendEmail, attachPostLink, trackOpensAndClicks using emails/builder and emails/builder/data.
POST /emails/builder and POST /emails/builder/data to create and populate email templates.
Fields: recipientEmail, subject, body, postUrl, status.
Automate blog publishing and notification workflows without writing code; manage content from Rankr while leveraging GHL’s email and posting endpoints.
Reduce manual data entry by syncing categories, authors, and posts across platforms automatically.
Consolidate analytics and performance data in a single dashboard for faster decisions.
Key elements: endpoints, authentication, triggers, and data mappings. Core processes: create, read, update, publish, and notify.
A set of rules and protocols that allows Rankr to communicate with the Blogs API and other GHL endpoints.
An HTTP method used to create resources, such as new blog posts or email templates.
An HTTP method used to retrieve data, such as post details, categories, or authors.
A URL-friendly identifier for a blog post used for SEO and routing.
When Rankr flags a new post, automatically publish it to Blogs and trigger a subscriber newsletter.
Keep post slugs consistent across Rankr and Blogs API to maximize SEO impact.
Route posts to different channels based on category metadata.
Create and approve an API key or OAuth token for Rankr to access Blogs API with the required scope.
Select actions (publish, update, fetch) and set triggers (new post, status change, new category).
Run test scenarios to verify posts publish and emails are sent correctly, then deploy the integration.
You can automate blog publishing, email alerts, and post updates by connecting Rankr with the Blogs API. This enables synchronized content creation and notification flows without manual steps. Use triggers like new posts, status changes, and category updates to keep all channels aligned.
No heavy coding is required. Set up uses API keys or OAuth and a no-code workflow builder in Rankr to map triggers to actions. If a custom scenario is needed, you can extend with lightweight scripting or webhooks.
Critical endpoints include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) as well as listing or checking slugs (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). The Emails API endpoints (POST /emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data) support post-launch notifications.
Yes. You can fetch and map categories (GET /blogs/categories) and authors (GET /blogs/authors) to Rankr. This enables consistent taxonomy and author attribution across platforms.
Authentication is handled using an API key or OAuth token with a defined scope (emails/builder.readonly). Store credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
The main limitation is the scope restriction. With emails/builder.readonly, you can view but not modify email templates unless you grant broader permissions. You can still perform content-related actions via the Blogs API, depending on the endpoint permissions.
Use request/response logs and your GHL account’s audit trail to monitor API calls. Rankr can also provide webhook and job-status results to help track success or failures, with alerts for failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
