Begin by provisioning API keys in GHL for the Blogs API and granting the necessary scope (emails/builder.readonly) to read templates, drafts, and blog triggers. This ensures Rankr can initiate posts and updates via GHL.
Complete the pairing flow to allow Rankr to create, read, and update blog content through GHL. Store tokens securely and monitor for expiration or revocation.
The integration leverages email builder and blog endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, and more. These endpoints let Rankr create drafts, publish blog posts, manage categories and authors, and ensure URL slug uniqueness.
Trigger: A new or updated email template in GHL triggers Rankr to draft a corresponding blog post.
Actions: Use POST /blogs/posts to create the post, then PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, and optionally assign categories.
Method/Paths: POST /blogs/posts to create a new post; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Key fields: title, content, slug, categoryId, authorId, status.
Trigger: Rankr updates a post draft and Rankr pushes changes to GHL.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts to read posts, and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to sync updates; ensure slug existence with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
Method/Paths: GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
Key fields: postId, slug, title, status, categoryId.
Trigger: Rankr catalog updates trigger a refresh of blog content in GHL.
Actions: Use GET /blogs/posts to fetch posts, GET /blogs/categories to map topics, and POST /blogs/posts to publish updated entries.
Method/Paths: GET /blogs/posts; GET /blogs/categories; POST /blogs/posts.
Key fields: title, slug, categoryId, authorId, tags.
Automate workflows without writing a line of code, reducing manual steps and errors.
Centralized data flow between GHL and Rankr simplifies maintenance and improves consistency.
Faster publishing with aligned SEO metadata across blogs, emails, and campaigns.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, triggers, error handling, and testing steps to ensure reliable automation.
An Application Programming Interface that lets two systems talk to each other to perform actions like creating a blog post or fetching data.
The method used to prove identity and grant access (e.g., API keys or OAuth tokens) between GHL and Rankr.
A defined URL in an API that performs a specific function, such as GET /blogs/posts or POST /blogs/posts.
A URL-friendly string usually derived from the post title used in the post URL.
Turn email templates created in GHL into draft blog posts in Rankr, then review before publishing.
Map SEO keywords to blog topics in Rankr and auto-create posts with proper categories.
Publish updates to blogs and push summaries to email campaigns instantly.
Create API keys in GHL for the Blogs API and connect Rankr with the appropriate scope.
Define how Rankr fields (title, content, slug, author) map to GHL endpoints.
Run tests, monitor logs, and push to production once green.
No coding is required for a basic setup using the GHL Blogs API and Rankr. Start by provisioning keys in GHL, map your Rankr fields to the corresponding endpoints, and use visual workflows to trigger blog posts from email templates. If you prefer a guided path, use available templates and pre-built mappings to accelerate the connection. For advanced automations, you can still implement logic with conditional steps and data transforms, but the core actions can be accomplished with no-code tools and the documented endpoints.
Begin with the essential endpoints: POST /blogs/posts to create posts and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to ensure unique URLs. Then layer in GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to properly categorize and attribute posts. As you gain confidence, introduce PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to manage updates and slug changes.
Authentication typically uses API keys or token-based pairing between GHL and Rankr. Store credentials securely, rotate keys regularly, and monitor for revocation. If your setup supports OAuth, follow the provider’s flow to refresh tokens automatically and keep connections alive.
Yes. By aligning blog topics with SEO keywords and metadata during the mapping phase, you can continuously optimize content. The integration supports updating titles, slugs, and categories to reflect SEO goals and improve discoverability across channels.
When an endpoint returns an error, inspect the response for a status code and message, implement retry logic, and route failures to a monitoring dashboard. Start with exponential backoff and ensure your mappings handle missing fields gracefully to avoid broken posts.
Environment-specific endpoints can be routed through separate API keys or configurations. Use distinct credentials for development, staging, and production, and validate each environment with targeted test posts before going live.
If you prefer no-code, leverage built-in templates, drag-and-drop workflow builders, and pre-mapped endpoints. For more control, you can gradually introduce custom steps using conditional logic and data transforms while keeping core actions intact.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
