Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL API key. Keep keys secure, rotate them regularly, and scope access to only what is needed for your integration.
Connect Givebutter via an API token or OAuth flow to authorize data flows between Givebutter and the Blogs API. Ensure the connection has read/write permissions for blogs and emails.
Core endpoints you’ll likely use include: GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET emails/schedule, and GET /blogs/posts. These endpoints enable post creation, metadata updates, category/author lookups, and email template linking to blog campaigns.
Trigger: When a new draft is ready in Givebutter, create a blog post in the Blogs API.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish; GET /blogs/posts for status; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update.
Method Path: POST /blogs/posts (create); GET /blogs/posts (list); PUT /blogs/posts/:postId (update).
Key fields: title, content, slug, author_id, category_id, publish_date, tags
Trigger: Publishing a post updates related email templates in Givebutter.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich emails.
Method Path: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories.
Key fields: postId, title, slug, author_id, category_id, tags, email_template_id
Trigger: Successful post fetch to repurpose content in Givebutter campaigns.
Actions: GET /blogs/posts, POST /emails/builder to craft new campaigns, GET /emails/builder to pull templates.
Method Path: GET /blogs/posts; POST /emails/builder; GET /emails/builder.
Key fields: postId, builderId, templateName, campaign_id
No coding required: connect via intuitive UI setups and enable automations in minutes.
Save time by syncing content and emails across platforms automatically and reliably.
Maintain consistency across posts and campaigns with centralized data mappings.
This section explains core elements: API endpoints, triggers, actions, and data mappings that power the Blogs API and Givebutter integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets different software components talk to each other.
A specific URL in an API that performs a defined operation.
An event or condition that starts an automation.
An operation performed as part of an automation, such as create or update.
Automatically compile a weekly digest from Givebutter posts and publish it as a blog post via the Blogs API.
Fetch older posts and repurpose their content into newsletters and campaigns in Givebutter.
Publish to blog, email template, and social posts with a single workflow to maximize reach.
In your GHL dashboard, generate an API key and securely copy it to your integration configuration.
Select the required endpoints (e.g., /blogs/posts, /blogs/authors) and map fields between Givebutter and the Blogs API.
Run test calls, verify data flow, set up alerting, and enable the automation in production.
The integration uses standard API authentication with keys obtained from the GHL dashboard. You’ll pair these with Givebutter credentials to enable the data flow. No heavy coding is required; most steps are UI-driven and guided by prompts. If you prefer, you can also implement lightweight scripts to handle custom field mappings. Always start in a test environment before going live.
While basic setups can be done with point-and-click configuration, some advanced mappings may require a little scripting or a helper automation tool. The goal is to minimize code while maximizing reliability. Most teams can complete setup in under an hour with the help of the built‑in templates and step-by-step prompts.
Begin with essential endpoints like POST /blogs/posts to create content and GET /blogs/posts to view posts. Then add GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to enrich metadata for SEO and campaigns. Expand as needed with PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to prevent duplicates.
Data mapping is about aligning fields from Givebutter (title, body, author, category) with the Blogs API fields (title, content, author_id, category_id). Use field mapping in the integration settings and test with sample data. Validate slugs, publish dates, and tags to maintain consistency across channels.
Store API keys securely, use role-based access, and rotate keys periodically. Use secure vaults or environment variables, and avoid exposing keys in client-side code. Monitor access logs and set alerts for suspicious activity.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and endpoint usage. Plan for bursts during launches by spreading requests and using batching where possible. If you anticipate high volume, consider contacting support for a higher quota or implementing backoff strategies in your automation.
If you run into issues, start with the official documentation and your integration dashboard. For unresolved problems, contact support via the Rankr help center or reach out to our technical team with your API key and a brief description of the failing call.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
