Authenticate every request using a secure token issued to your GHL application. Use the supported OAuth 2.0 flow or API key for access, with tokens rotated regularly.
Protect Rankr credentials with secret management, rotate tokens periodically, and never expose keys in public pages. Use server-side calls or encrypted env vars.
GET emails/builder; GET emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; GET emails/schedule; POST /blogs/posts; POST blogs/post.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/authors; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/categories; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists
Trigger: a new post is created or updated in Rankr, automatically push the post to GHL via POST /blogs/posts to create a live article.
Actions: map rankr fields to blog post fields (title, content, slug, author, cover image) and set status to published; handle slug validation with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, author, summary, tags
Trigger: Rankr creates or updates an email template; mirror the template in GHL using GET/POST emails/builder endpoints.
Actions: fetch template metadata, map fields (templateId, locationId, name, html content), and create/update in GHL’s email builder.
GET emails/builder
templateId, locationId, name, html, subject
Trigger: when a blog post is published or updated, initiate a related email or social campaign via scheduling endpoints.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, scheduleTime, status
No-code automation: connect endpoints visually to automate content publishing and email campaigns without writing code.
Faster content rollout: create posts and emails in a single workflow and schedule them for release.
Unified analytics: track post performance and email engagement from one dashboard.
This glossary explains API endpoints, authentication, data mapping, and testing steps used when connecting Rankr with the Blogs API via GHL.
A specific URL and method that performs an action in an API.
The process of verifying a caller’s identity, typically via tokens or keys.
A string that proves identity for API calls and may expire after a set period.
A URL-friendly identifier used to reference a blog post in links and routing.
Set up a trigger from Rankr to create a new blog post in GHL automatically and publish it on schedule.
Map blog content to email templates in GHL so newsletters stay fresh with minimal effort.
Trigger campaigns that respond to new posts, adjusting subject lines and CTAs automatically.
Create and securely store your GHL API tokens and Rankr credentials; use a test environment first.
Align Rankr blog fields with GHL post fields (title, content, slug, author, tags) to ensure clean data transfer.
Run end-to-end tests, verify endpoints return expected results, then roll out to production with monitoring.
Use OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys as supported by the Blogs API. This ensures each request has the proper scope and access. Store tokens securely and rotate them on a regular schedule. For Rankr, generate credentials in your app settings and grant the least-privilege scopes necessary. Ensure you refresh tokens automatically before they expire to avoid downtime.
At minimum, you’ll need endpoints related to blog posts (GET /blogs/posts, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId) and slug checks (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists) plus authentication. If you’re sending email templates, include emails/builder endpoints as well. This baseline allows publishing, updating, and validating slugs.
Yes. Use a sandbox or staging environment and mock data. Most endpoints return test data or allow a dry-run mode. Start with a single post and one email template to validate mapping and timing before scaling.
Slug uniqueness is checked by GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. If a slug exists, adjust and retry. You can also implement fallbacks or slug generation within Rankr to ensure unique, readable URLs.
No heavy coding is required. The integration is designed for no-code or low-code setups using the GHL interface and Rankr’s mapping capabilities. For advanced scenarios, light scripting can help with complex transforms.
Use the GHL or Rankr dashboards’ activity logs, plus any webhook or task queues you enable. Set up alerting on failures, retries, and SLA breaches to keep workflows reliable.
Map fields carefully: title -> title, content -> content, slug -> slug, author -> author, and tags -> tags. Keep date and status synchronized and test with a few sample posts to verify end-to-end flow.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
