Authenticate requests to the Blogs API using your GHL credentials. Include your API key or OAuth token in the Authorization header to establish a secure connection between Rankr and the Blogs API.
In Zapier, authorize Rankr to access your GHL Blogs API account. Complete the OAuth flow or provide the necessary API key to enable seamless data transfer between Rankr and GHL.
Core endpoints used in this integration (examples): GET emails/builder, POST /emails/builder/data, DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, blogs/check-slug.readonly, blogs/post.write, blogs/post-update.write
Trigger when a new blog post is created (POST /blogs/posts).
Update relevant lead records in Rankr, add a note with post title, and optionally assign a follow-up task.
POST /blogs/posts
postId, title, slug, author, publishDate
Trigger when a blog post is updated (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId or blogs/post-update.write).
Push updated content to Rankr leads, refresh summary fields, and notify ownership changes.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, lastUpdated
Check slug existence before publishing (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists).
If slug exists, halt publish and prompt for a new slug; if not, proceed with post creation.
GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
slug
Automate lead updates when new content is published, reducing manual data entry.
Keep lead records synced with blog activity for timely outreach and higher engagement.
Create scalable workflows without writing code, using Zapier to bridge Blogs API and Rankr.
Glossary of terms and core processes used in the Blogs API and Rankr integration.
A specific URL exposed by an API to perform a function (e.g., GET /blogs/posts).
A URL-friendly version of a post title used to form readable web addresses.
The process of verifying identity to access an API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A real-time event notification that triggers automated actions in response to specific events.
Automatically compile new posts into a digest and send it to assigned leads for nurture.
Score leads based on reading depth, time on page, and post interactions to prioritize follow-ups.
Push blog update summaries to lead profiles to keep teams aligned on latest content.
In Zapier, authorize Rankr to access the Blogs API using your GHL credentials (OAuth or API key).
Choose the relevant endpoints (for example, POST /blogs/posts and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and align postId, title, slug, and author with Rankr fields.
Run test tasks to verify triggers and actions, then turn on the workflow for live lead updates.
Yes. The Blogs API can trigger automatic lead updates in Rankr when new posts are created or existing posts are updated. This keeps your CRM in sync with your content calendar. You can tailor which lead fields get updated (e.g., last blog read, latest post title, publish date) to suit your workflow. Additionally, you can create notes or tasks based on post activity to boost engagement.
Absolutely. You can configure triggers for both post creation (POST /blogs/posts) and post updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). When these events occur, Rankr can push or sync data to lead records, ensuring the sales team sees the most current content interactions. This enables timely follow-ups and nurtures blog-engaged leads.
No coding is required. The integration is built through Zapier and the GHL Blogs API endpoints. You connect Accounts in Zapier, map fields, and define triggers and actions using a visual workflow. This makes it accessible for non-developers while remaining flexible for advanced use cases.
Typically, you’ll authenticate either via OAuth or an API key, depending on what your GHL account and Rankr setup support. OAuth provides a secure, token-based flow, while an API key can be used for direct access. Follow the setup prompts in Zapier to complete the authorization.
Core endpoints include blog creation (POST /blogs/posts), updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists), and read endpoints for categories and authors. For lead updates, you’ll commonly use the post creation, post update, and slug-exists endpoints, along with appropriate read endpoints to enrich data mappings.
Test first with a sandbox or test lead records. Use Zapier’s test feature to simulate post creation or updates and verify lead fields update as expected. After successful tests, enable the workflow and monitor activity in both GHL and Rankr dashboards.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. If you anticipate high volume (many posts per day), implement batching or conditional triggers to avoid hitting limits. Monitor API usage in your GHL account and adjust the workflow as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
