Frequently asked questions

How do I authenticate with the Blogs API?

Authentication typically uses API keys or OAuth. Start in the GHL dashboard to generate credentials, then paste them into Rankr’s connection setup. Ensure the credentials are kept secure and rotated regularly. Test the connection with a sample request to verify permissions. If you see access denied, re-check scopes and ensure the endpoint URL matches your region.

Rankr supports a subset of the Blogs API endpoints. You can enable GET and POST operations for blog posts, categories, and authors, as well as slug checks. If a needed endpoint is missing, you can still implement core flows using available endpoints and custom mappings; consider requesting endpoint coverage or alternative paths.

Yes. Use field mappings to align GHL post fields with Rankr post fields. Common mappings include title, slug, content, category, and author. Test thoroughly to ensure slugs remain unique and updates propagate correctly across both systems.

API rate limits depend on your plan. If you hit limits, implement backoff strategies and batch updates where possible. Contact support to discuss higher quotas or optimize your automation to stay within limits.

Slug conflicts occur when two posts share the same slug. Use the slugExists endpoint before publishing to ensure uniqueness. If a conflict is detected, you can auto-append a unique suffix or modify the post title to generate a new slug.

Yes. You can schedule posts from Rankr by using the Blogs API schedule endpoints or by setting publish dates in your content calendar. Configure time zones and recurrence rules to maintain consistent publishing cadence.

If a connection fails, check credentials, scopes, and endpoint URLs. Review Zapier task history for error codes and retry failed actions. Enable test runs, adjust mapping, and re-authenticate if necessary to restore a healthy connection.
