No coding is required to connect. The UI in Rankr and Blogs API provides point-and-click mapping for fields such as title, content, slug, and publish date. If you need more advanced logic, you can add simple conditional actions without writing code. If you do want deeper customization, there are optional advanced settings you can explore after the initial connection.
