Use OAuth 2.0 or API keys to securely authorize requests to the Blogs API from Rankr, ensuring calls are scoped to the required permissions (emails/builder.readonly and related endpoints).
Configure Rankr to securely store credentials, rotate keys regularly, and verify permissions align with the Blogs API requirements.
Common endpoints include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, GET blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, POST /blogs/posts, and GET /blogs/authors among others; these enable blog publishing, email templates, and scheduled communication.
Trigger when a new blog post is published.
Actions: generate/update email templates, send post notifications to subscribers, and log the event.
Endpoints: POST /blogs/posts and POST emails/builder
Key fields: post_id, recipient_email, subscriber_id
Trigger when a user subscribes or subscribes to a blog category
Actions: send welcome/notification emails, update subscription status
Path: GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Key fields: subscriber_id, email, post_slug
Trigger alerts when engagement metrics cross thresholds
Actions: notify teams, update dashboards, and log incidents
Path: POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: post_id, metric, threshold, recipient_id
Automate publishing and notification workflows without writing code.
Schedule posts and emails based on live blog activity.
Unify data between blogs and email campaigns for better targeting.
This glossary covers the core terms and processes you’ll encounter when integrating Blogs API with Rankr.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against an API.
A real-time notification sent by an API when a specific event occurs.
An authorization framework that enables secure delegated access to resources.
A URL-friendly string derived from a post title used in URLs and routing.
Leverage subscriber data to tailor content and boost engagement.
Launch journeys automatically when a post goes live.
Automatically share blog updates to social and email campaigns.
Obtain your GHL API key and configure it in Rankr.
Connect the necessary endpoints for posts, emails, and schedules.
Run tests, monitor performance, and go live.
Authentication is required to securely connect GHL with Rankr, typically using OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Configure credentials in Rankr and grant scoped access to the Blogs API resources you’ll use (emails, templates, posts). Verify tokens on each request to ensure proper authorization. Keep credentials private and rotate them periodically.
For a basic connection, you’ll want endpoints related to emails/builder (read and write), blogs/posts (create/update), and blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate post URLs. Also include endpoints for retrieving authors and categories if you plan to segment communications by author or topic.
Yes. Use sandbox or test environments and mock data to validate integrations. Many endpoints provide read-write permissions that can be exercised in a safe test mode. Always monitor quotas and error responses to avoid impacting production data.
Some basic technical comfort with API concepts helps, but you can implement a no-code or low-code workflow by using Rankr’s UI to map endpoints and set triggers. Complex logic can be layered with sequential steps and built-in error handling without writing custom code.
Handle errors by inspecting status codes and error messages, retry on transient failures, and implement exponential backoff. Maintain a fallback flow for critical paths (e.g., post publish) to ensure communications aren’t missed.
Data typically includes post IDs, URLs, slugs, author details, subscriber emails, and engagement metrics. The exact fields depend on the endpoint but generally cover identifiers, content metadata, and recipient details for emails.
API rate limits and quotas vary by plan. Check your GHL and Rankr account dashboards for current limits, and design queues or batching to stay within those quotas. Implement alerting when approaching limits.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
