Start by generating an API key from the Blogs API dashboard and add it to your GHL connection. Use the provided scopes (for example: emails/builder.readonly) to control access and expand permissions as your automation needs grow.
Link your Rankr account to the GHL integration using OAuth2 or API tokens, then store credentials securely and rotate them regularly to maintain a secure connection.
API Endpoint1: GET emails/builder API Endpoint2: emails/builder.write API Endpoint3: POST emails/builder API Endpoint4: POST /emails/builder/data API Endpoint5: DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId API Endpoint6: emails/schedule.readonly API Endpoint7: GET emails/schedule API Endpoint8: blogs/post.write API Endpoint9: POST /blogs/posts API Endpoint10: blogs/post-update.write API Endpoint11: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId API Endpoint12: blogs/check-slug.readonly API Endpoint13: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists API Endpoint14: blogs/category.readonly API Endpoint15: GET /blogs/categories API Endpoint16: blogs/author.readonly API Endpoint17: GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: A new blog post is drafted in Blogs API
Actions: Create a new post in GHL using title, content, slug and authorId
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId
Trigger: A blog post is updated in Blogs API
Actions: Update the corresponding GHL post fields to match Blogs API
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
Trigger: Draft title is created in Blogs API
Actions: Check slug availability via GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and ensure URL consistency in GHL
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Build powerful automations without writing code using GHL’s native triggers and actions
Keep content, categories, and authors in sync between Blogs API and Rankr for accurate data
Accelerate go-to-market with reusable templates and guided workflows
Below are essential terms and the core processes for connecting Blogs API with GHL using Rankr.
A URL-friendly version of a blog post title used in the web address.
A specific URL where you can access a function of an API.
A mechanism for apps to send real-time data to another app when an event occurs.
An event in one app that starts a workflow in another app.
Trigger Rankr to push new drafts to GHL for quick review and publishing.
Tag posts with categories in Blogs API and route to targeted campaigns in GHL.
Sync authors and schedule posts across Rankr and GHL with synchronized calendars.
Obtain API keys from Blogs API and securely store them in GHL.
Complete OAuth2 or token-based authorization to enable data flows between Rankr and Blogs API.
Choose endpoints, configure field mappings, and run tests to verify successful data syncing.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code builders inside GHL. You can configure triggers, actions, and field mappings using the UI. For advanced scenarios, you can add custom logic with simple conditional steps. If you do need code, small snippets can be used, but it is not a prerequisite to get started.
To sync content, focus on the core endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs. Optional endpoints like GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors help keep metadata aligned. You can tailor which endpoints fire based on events in Blogs API or Rankr.
Yes. Slug customization is possible by validating and transforming the slug before creating a post in GHL. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check availability, then apply your slug rules in a mapping step before posting.
Credentials should be stored securely in GHL’s vault or a dedicated secret store. Use token-based authentication where possible and rotate keys regularly. Limit scopes to only what is necessary for the automation.
Test the connection by creating a test post in Blogs API and confirming that a matching post appears in GHL. Use the test mode in both apps and review logs if the data isn’t flowing as expected.
If a post is deleted in Blogs API, you can configure a corresponding delete action in GHL or simply retain the post in GHL depending on your archival policy. You can also implement a fallback to mark the post as archived instead of permanently removing it.
Troubleshooting logs are available in both Blogs API and GHL dashboards. Look for error codes in the endpoint responses, verify credential validity, and check field mappings. Enable verbose logging for deeper insight during setup.
