How to Connect Rankr to Blogs API

Blogs API + Rankr: Quick Start Guide

How to Connect Blogs API to Rankr

This guide explains how to securely connect the Blogs API in GHL with Rankr. You’ll authenticate with the provided scope and use a standard set of endpoints to manage emails and blog posts from a single workflow, enabling automation, publishing, and notifications across your channels.

Authentication for Blogs API

Connect using your GHL API credentials and OAuth tokens. The required scope is emails/builder.readonly to read emails and schedule content, with write access via emails/builder and blogs endpoints. Store tokens securely and refresh them before they expire.

Authentication for Rankr

Rankr authenticates to GHL via OAuth 2.0 and a client secret. Create an app in Rankr’s settings, configure the redirect URL to receive the authorization code, and exchange it for access tokens with the Blogs API scopes you need.

FAQ

What is the Blogs API endpoint list used for?

The Blogs API endpoints provide the core actions for managing blog content and email campaigns from Rankr. You can read emails, schedule messages, and create or update blog posts. Use endpoints like GET emails/builder for templates and POST /blogs/posts to publish content. This set is designed to support end-to-end automation without custom coding. Start with authentication, then test basic read actions before moving to full automation.

No heavy coding is required. Rankr offers pre-built endpoints and a visual workflow to connect to GHL. You’ll configure OAuth, select the Blogs API scopes you need, and map fields between Rankr and GHL. If a simple data push suffices, use the available endpoints to publish and schedule content without writing scripts.

Best starter endpoints include GET blogs/posts to fetch content and POST /blogs/posts to publish. For notifications, use POST /emails/builder/data alongside GET emails/schedule to align timing. As you mature, add PUT /blogs/posts/:postId for updates and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to avoid duplicates.

Yes. You can trigger emails from blog events by pairing blogs endpoints with emails/builder and emails/schedule. This enables coordinated campaigns where new posts trigger email sends on a schedule.

The scope you choose determines what you can read or write. The example uses emails/builder.readonly for reading and scheduling, with write actions via emails/builder and blogs endpoints. You can adjust scopes to match your workflow and security requirements.

Use a test environment to run a few sample posts and emails. Verify token validity, test a new post creation, and confirm that Rankr triggers the corresponding email and schedule actions. Review error logs and retry policies before going live.

API documentation for the Blogs API and related endpoints is available in the GHL developer docs. In Rankr, navigate to Settings > Integrations > GHL to view endpoint references, auth flows, and example payloads.
