Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using the GHL access token or API key provided in the developer console. Keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly. Use the Rankr app to securely store and reference these credentials in workflows.
Rankr authenticates to GHL using OAuth or API keys configured in App Connections. Ensure the connected account has the required scopes for blog management (read and write).
Endpoints (Blogs API) you can leverage in Rankr: – GET blogs/post.write – POST /blogs/posts – blogs/post-update.write – PUT /blogs/posts/:postId – blogs/check-slug.readonly – GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists – blogs/category.readonly – GET /blogs/categories – blogs/author.readonly – GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: a new lead or form submission in Rankr creates a draft blog post in Blogs API.
Actions: POST to blogs/posts with title, content, and metadata; optionally set status to draft.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, excerpt, author_id, category_id, slug
Trigger: when a blog post is published or updated in Blogs API, push updates to Rankr.
Actions: PUT to blogs/posts/:postId to update content; create or adjust Rankr records accordingly.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, status, tags
Trigger: a new Rankr campaign is created.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts with campaign details mapped to post fields; assign author and category.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, campaign_id, author_id, category_id
Build and customize integrations without writing a single line of code.
Accelerate publishing and updates with automated data flows.
Scale workflows across projects with reusable components.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mapping. These work together to move content between Rankr and the Blogs API, with data flowing from events to API calls and back through responses.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. It defines how Rankr talks to the Blogs API and other services by sending requests and receiving responses.
A slug is a URL-friendly identifier for a post, often derived from the title to form clean, readable links.
An endpoint is a specific URL in an API that performs a function, such as creating a post or listing authors.
A workflow is a series of steps in an automation that connects Rankr with the Blogs API to perform tasks automatically.
When a new lead is captured in Rankr, automatically generate a blog post draft in Blogs API with mapped fields like title and excerpt, ready for review.
Schedule blog posts to publish at optimal times based on Rankr campaign milestones; automatically update status in Blogs API.
Map Rankr author and category fields to corresponding blog post fields to keep your content taxonomy consistent.
In Rankr, go to App Connections > Add New Connection > GHL Blogs API. Enter your API credentials and authorize access.
Choose events like lead creation, blog publish, or campaign update to trigger actions in Blogs API.
Define actions such as creating a blog post, updating content, or scheduling publication.
The Blogs API is a set of endpoints you connect to from Rankr to create and manage blog content. To connect, generate an API key or OAuth token from your GHL developer console and add it to the Rankr App Connections. Then map fields like title, content, and author to fit your workflow. This setup enables seamless, automated blog publishing without manual steps.
No traditional coding is required. Rankr’s no-code automation builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and data mapping with a visual interface. You can connect multiple endpoints, test requests, and deploy workflows in minutes.
Key endpoints include creating posts (POST /blogs/posts), updating posts (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (blogs/check-slug.readonly, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), listing categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors).
Use secure storage for credentials in Rankr, enable scoped access, rotate keys regularly, and follow best practices for API security, including least privilege access and encrypted transmissions.
Yes. You can map Rankr authors and categories to Blogs API fields so your content remains properly attributed and organized in your blog catalog.
If a sync fails, check error messages in Rankr logs, verify credentials, confirm endpoints and payload formats, and re-run the trigger after corrections.
You can view the connection status in Rankr’s App Connections area, see recent runs, and monitor failed or successful synchronizations. You can also set alerts for failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
