Authenticate with the GHL Blogs API using OAuth 2.0 and the required scope emails/builder.readonly. Create an app in the GHL developer portal, then obtain client credentials and redirect URLs to establish a secure connection.
To connect Rankr to the Blogs API, generate an API key or authorize via OAuth 2.0 depending on Rankr’s setup. Ensure the app has access to the blogs endpoints such as GET emails/builder and POST blogs/posts.
Key endpoints used include GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder/data, DELETE emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId, GET emails/schedule, GET blogs/categories, GET blogs/authors, GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists, GET /blogs/categories, GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, POST /blogs/post-update.write, and GET /blogs/authors. These endpoints enable email template management, blog post creation, and scheduling workflows within Rankr.
Trigger: when a new blog post is published in Blogs API, Rankr pulls the post details to auto-fill and update email templates.
GET emails/builder; POST emails/builder/data; GET emails/schedule
Key fields: locationId, templateId, postId, slug
Trigger: a new post or update is created in Blogs API and is reflected in Rankr’s calendar.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to push updates, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to adjust existing posts.
POST /blogs/posts; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, title, publishDate
Trigger: schedule-based dispatch of blog-derived emails to subscribers.
Actions: GET /emails/schedule to fetch dispatch times, GET /blogs/categories to group content, and trigger email delivery.
GET emails/schedule; GET blogs/categories
Key fields: scheduleId, templateId
Automate workflows without writing code, reducing manual effort and errors.
Speed up content to email handoffs by directly linking blog posts and email templates.
Centralized control in a single dashboard for both blog and email automation.
This section defines the core elements, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data field mappings used to connect Blogs API with Rankr.
GHL’s endpoint suite for blog management and email templates.
The Rankr app that connects to the Blogs API and coordinates data flow between posts and emails.
A specific URL path and operation in the API used to access or modify a resource.
A real-time notification mechanism that triggers actions across apps.
Automatically generate concise summaries of new posts and push to an email template to keep teams informed.
Trigger subscriber emails when a post goes live and update the blog library.
Sync your content calendar with the Rankr email scheduler to automate reminders.
Register the Blogs API as a connected app and obtain client credentials for Rankr.
Map endpoints for emails and blogs that you will use in your automations, such as GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts.
Test all triggers and actions in a staging environment, then enable the integration for production.
The Blogs API integration with Rankr enables automated data flow between blog content and email templates. It uses OAuth 2.0 and a defined scope to ensure secure access, while letting you pull blog post data into email workflows. With this setup, you can automatically populate email templates with new post details and schedule notifications.
No heavy coding is required. You can typically connect via the Zapier App Connector using prebuilt actions and triggers. Some basic configuration, like endpoint mapping and credential setup, may be needed to tailor the flows to your use case.
Common workflows rely on endpoints such as GET emails/builder to fetch templates and POST /blogs/posts to publish new content. You can also use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to validate slugs and GET /blogs/categories to group content.
You need the appropriate scopes and permissions, typically including emails/builder.readonly, and access to blog endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST blogs/posts. Ensure your app is approved in the GHL developer portal and that redirect URIs are correctly configured.
Testing involves using a staging environment or sandbox to validate triggers and actions. Check that new posts create corresponding email updates, templates populate correctly, and scheduled emails dispatch as expected.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and the Rankr app documentation. Look for guides on OAuth setup, endpoint reference, and example workflows to get started.
