To authorize the connection, use OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Grant the scope emails/builder.readonly to access read-only email template data and keep your credentials secure during the integration.
In Rankr, generate a secure API key and attach it to your Blogs API connection. Store the key safely and rotate it periodically to maintain a strong security posture.
Key endpoints include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts
Trigger when a new blog post is created (POST /blogs/posts). This kicks off an email template workflow so subscribers receive the latest content automatically.
Actions include creating the post (POST /blogs/posts), updating the slug (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and aligning the post with email templates in emails/builder.
Methods to employ: POST /blogs/posts for creation, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs.
title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status, publishedAt
Trigger when blog data changes to refresh email templates. This leverages GET emails/builder and POST emails/builder/data to keep content current.
Actions: fetch templates (GET emails/builder), populate data (POST /emails/builder/data), and push updates back into the email builder.
Methods: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data
templateId, locationId, subject, body, dataFields
Trigger based on schedules to send blog-derived emails using emails/schedule and related builder data.
Actions: fetch schedules (GET emails/schedule), trigger sends, and update content in the email builder as needed.
Methods: GET emails/schedule, POST emails/builder/data, GET emails/builder
scheduleId, time, templateId, data
Automate blog-to-email workflows without writing a line of code, reducing manual steps.
Speed up publishing and distribution by aligning new posts with ready-to-send email templates.
Centralize data sync between blog content and marketing emails for consistent messaging.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used to connect Blogs API with Rankr, helping you navigate setup and maintenance.
GHL API is the programmatic interface you use to access endpoints like emails/builder and blog-related calls, enabling authentication and data exchange with Rankr.
The Blogs API endpoints (e.g., GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) for managing content and metadata.
An endpoint is a specific URL path and HTTP method used to perform actions such as create, read, update, or delete data.
A mechanism to receive real-time data updates from GHL or Blogs API, enabling automatic triggers in Rankr.
Automatically compile the latest posts and send a digest via Rankr’s Email Builder to subscribers, increasing engagement without manual work.
Notify teams or customers when a post is published or updated, driving timely awareness and action.
Automatically generate slugs, categories, and metadata with each post to improve search visibility.
Create and securely store your API key or OAuth credentials, ensuring the scope includes the necessary access (such as emails/builder.readonly).
In Rankr, connect the Blogs API endpoints you will use (for example POST /blogs/posts and GET emails/builder) and test connectivity.
Create test templates and verify that blog content flows correctly into email builders and scheduled sends.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 or API keys. After you grant the scope that includes emails/builder.readonly, test the connection to confirm access to email templates and related data. If you hit a permission error, re-check scopes and re-authorize. In Rankr, store credentials securely and rotate them periodically to reduce risk. If you use a service account, ensure it has the minimum required permissions and audit logs to track usage.
The Blogs API exposes endpoints for creating, updating, checking slugs, and managing posts (e.g., POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). For emails, you’ll see endpoints like GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, and data population via POST /emails/builder/data. You may also schedule emails with GET emails/schedule and related tooling.
No full-code development is required to connect Rankr with Blogs API. You can set up API keys or OAuth credentials and configure workflows in a no-code manner using Rankr’s interface. Advanced users can extend logic with custom triggers, but the core flows are designed for simplicity.
Use the slug check endpoint GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability. If the slug exists, you can either choose a different slug or update the existing post. This prevents duplicate URLs and preserves SEO integrity. In workflows, run the check prior to post creation to ensure clean data flow.
API call status can be monitored via Rankr’s integration logs and any webhook delivery receipts. Use error messages and HTTP status codes to diagnose failures, and implement retries where appropriate. Regularly review logs to ensure long-running processes complete successfully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
