Authorize the Blogs API by creating an API integration in GHL with the scope emails/builder.readonly and the required blogs permissions. Store the generated credentials securely and test access with a light call such as GET emails/builder.
Connect Rankr to GHL by approving the app in your GHL account and exchanging tokens. Use a secure storage method for the client ID and secret and verify the integration with a test call.

Automate publishing and distribution without writing code.
Centralized control from a single dashboard to manage posts, emails, categories, and authors.
Rapid setup using ready-made endpoints and triggers.
This glossary defines API, endpoints, slug, and workflow terms used in the Grade-us integration.
An API is a set of rules that lets apps talk to each other and exchange data.
A specific URL you call to perform an action, for example POST /blogs/posts.
A URL-friendly version of a post title used in links.
A sequence of steps that automates a business process.
Trigger Rankr drafts to publish to /blogs/posts automatically, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Use /emails/builder to craft templates and /emails/builder/data to queue sends when posts go live.
Sync Rankr metadata with GHL using GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories to keep taxonomy aligned.
In the GHL developer console, add a new API integration for Blogs API and copy the key.
Enter the API key in Rankr and set scopes to emails/builder.readonly and blogs permissions as needed.
Run test calls to create a post, schedule an email, and verify slug checks and taxonomy endpoints.
The Blogs API integration lets Rankr communicate with GHL to publish blog posts and manage blog data from a single place. It does not require custom code, and you can start with the core endpoints to publish posts and schedule promotions. Use the provided endpoints to create a reliable workflow.
In Grade-us, you’ll use endpoints for blog posts, categories, and authors, along with email templates and schedules. Start with POST /blogs/posts to publish, GET /blogs/categories and GET /blogs/authors to fetch taxonomy, and GET emails/schedule to plan promotions. All actions are performed through the GHL API connection from Rankr.
No coding is required for typical Grade-us integrations. You simply create an API integration in GHL, configure Rankr with the key and scopes, and use the ready-made endpoints. For advanced automations, you can extend with workflows inside GHL.
Test end-to-end by creating a draft in Rankr, publishing to /blogs/posts, and confirming a scheduled email appears in GET /emails/schedule. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug collision handling. Debug via the Rankr and GHL logs.
Required permissions include read/write access to emails and blogs endpoints, plus the ability to schedule emails. Ensure the scope includes emails/builder.readonly and any blog write permissions you need. Use a least-privilege approach.
Yes. The Grade-us workflow combines blog posting and email scheduling in one dashboard. You can trigger posts and schedule campaigns without leaving GHL, using Rankr as the source of content and data.
Sample payloads and payload templates are available in the developer docs. Start with a basic post payload for /blogs/posts and a simple email template for /emails/builder to get a working end-to-end flow.
