Authenticate your Blogs API connection with GHL using OAuth 2.0 or an API key, requesting access limited to the scope emails/builder.readonly to enable safe data read and the ability to create or update blog content as needed for your Drive-driven workflows.
To connect Rankr, set up the Zapier App Connector with your Blogs API credentials, and configure the workflow to use the proper scopes and endpoints for Google Drive automation. Keep credentials secure.
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
When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, Rankr can pull the post data and prepare a Drive-ready draft for publishing.
Actions: Create or update a Google Drive document draft from the new blog post data.
POST /blogs/posts
title, slug, content, authorId, status
When a blog post in Rankr is updated, push changes to the Blogs API so the Drive draft stays in sync.
Actions: Update the corresponding blog post via PUT /blogs/posts/:postId.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug
When a new category or author is added in GHL, fetch updates and keep Blogs API in sync.
Actions: Retrieve lists from GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to keep data aligned.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, categoryName, authorId, authorName
Fast setup with drag-and-drop builders—no custom code required.
Real-time data sync between Google Drive, Blogs API, and Rankr for instant collaboration.
Scalable workflows that evolve with your content and team without writing scripts.
This glossary explains core terms such as API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields used in the Blogs API and Google Drive workflows.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action between GHL and your app.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to the API via OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
An event that starts a workflow in Rankr when something happens in GHL.
An operation performed automatically in response to a Trigger.
Automatically generate blog posts in Blogs API from a Google Drive document draft triggered when the document is updated.
Map Drive folders to blog categories and workflows to publish on schedule.
Publish blog updates to Drive as PDFs or notes when posts go live.
Create API credentials for Blogs API and configure scope for reading and posting content.
Connect both services in the app connector, enter keys, test triggers.
Choose endpoints such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories, run test data to verify results.
The Blogs API is a GHL-based interface that lets you manage blog content, categories, and authors from external apps like Rankr and Google Drive. It exposes endpoints to create, read, update, and check content across your blog workflow. In this guide, you can wire up triggers and actions in the Zapier App Connector to automate your editorial process without writing code.
No advanced coding is required. The no-code Zapier App Connector provides triggers, actions, and searches you configure with simple forms. Some setups may require adding credentials and testing in a sandbox environment.
Essential endpoints typically include creating and updating posts (POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), checking slug existence (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and reading categories and authors (GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors). If you need email templates or schedules, include those endpoints as well.
Yes. Use the built-in test mode in the App Connector, and run sample payloads to verify that triggers, actions, and data mapping work as expected. You can monitor logs and adjust mappings until you see the desired results.
Security relies on OAuth 2.0 or API keys, scoped to the minimum required permissions. Keep credentials in a secure vault and rotate keys regularly.
Required fields depend on the operation, but common fields include title, slug, content for posts; you may also pass categoryId and authorId. Always provide postId for updates and ensure mappings align with your data model.
When errors occur, check response codes, logs, and rate limits. Implement retry strategies with exponential backoff. In Zapier, configure steps to catch errors and pause workflows, then retry.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
