In this step, you authorize the Blogs API within your GHL account to allow secure data access and actions like creating posts and retrieving categories.
Connect Rankr to your GHL workspace by granting OAuth permissions and selecting the Blogs API as the connected app.
The integration uses a curated set of endpoints from the GHL API, including: GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; 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 blog post is created in Blogs API.
Action: Create or update the corresponding post in Rankr and optionally emit a GA4 event.
Method path: POST /blogs/posts
title, body, slug, author, categories, tags, published_at
Trigger: GA4 event detected in Rankr.
Actions: Update blog post metrics or log events to Blogs API.
Method path: POST /blogs/post-update
postId, metrics, event_timestamp
Trigger: Category or author data changes in Blogs API.
Actions: Sync updated categories/authors to Rankr and GA4 metadata.
Method path: GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors
category_id, name; author_id, name
No code setup: connect through a visual Zapier app with triggers and actions, no custom coding required.
Automated data flow between Blogs API and Rankr for GA4 event consistency.
Easier maintenance with built-in error handling and retries.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, auth, data mapping, and error handling; processes cover setup, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
A defined set of rules that allows software to communicate over the web using requests and responses.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action or returns data.
Verification of identity, typically via OAuth, API keys or tokens to authorize access.
A URL-friendly string used to identify a post for linking and SEO.
Trigger republish or updates in Blogs API from GA4 events tracked in Rankr.
Refresh content in response to GA4 seasonality trends detected in Rankr.
Sync engagement metrics from GA4 into Blogs API metadata for SEO optimization.
Set up OAuth credentials or API keys for secure access between Blogs API and Rankr.
Define how blog data maps to Rankr fields and GA4 events.
Run tests and deploy the Zapier connection to your live environment.
No coding is required. The Zapier based connector provides a visual editor to connect Blogs API to Rankr, using triggers, actions, and filters. You can set up authentication once and reuse mappings across tasks.
Key endpoints include blog creation, updating posts, and retrieving categories and authors. Specifically, use POST /blogs/posts to publish, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to check slugs, GET /blogs/categories for categories, and GET /blogs/authors for author data.
Connections use OAuth tokens or API keys to keep data secure. Rotate credentials regularly and apply least-privilege access to the connected app.
Yes. You can customize field mappings in the Zapier editor and add transform steps to reshape data before it reaches Blogs API or Rankr.
Use the built-in test feature in Zapier to run sample payloads against the endpoints, verify authentication, and review error messages.
If an endpoint returns an error, Zapier will display details and you can configure retries, backoff, and fallback actions.
GA4 data appears in your GA4 property. If you want to push Blogs API events to GA4, you can add a step to emit events in your Zap.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
