Authenticate requests to the Blogs API within GHL using API keys and OAuth scopes. For this integration, the scope available is emails/builder.readonly to keep templates readable while you explore connections.
In Rankr, add a new GHL integration and paste the Blogs API credentials here. Maintain secure storage of keys and rotate them periodically to protect your data.
GET emails/builder; emails/builder.write; POST emails/builder; POST /emails/builder/data; DELETE /emails/builder/:locationId/:templateId; emails/schedule.readonly; GET emails/schedule; blogs/post.write; POST /blogs/posts; blogs/post-update.write; PUT /blogs/posts/:postId; blogs/check-slug.readonly; GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists; blogs/category.readonly; GET /blogs/categories; blogs/author.readonly; GET /blogs/authors
Trigger: New or updated blog post triggers retrieval of matching email templates.
Actions: GET emails/builder to fetch templates; map to email campaigns for automatic sending.
GET emails/builder
Key fields: none required for retrieval; you can filter by template name or category if supported.
Trigger: New blog post published to schedule notifications.
Actions: POST /blogs/posts to publish; create scheduled emails via emails/schedule for distribution.
POST /blogs/posts
Key fields: title, content, slug, author_id
Trigger: Update a post triggers changes in linked campaigns.
Actions: PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update; refresh any linked emails or notifications.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
Key fields: postId, body, status
Build powerful automation without writing code: connect blog posts to emails, social updates, and campaigns with a few clicks.
Leverage a familiar drag-and-drop interface in Rankr and GHL to orchestrate content workflows.
Scale content operations quickly with real-time sync between blogs and campaigns.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data fields. Understand how these pieces fit together when connecting GHL to Blogs API via Rankr.
API stands for Application Programming Interface, the set of rules that enable applications like Rankr to talk to Blogs API.
An endpoint is a specific URL path in the API that performs a function, such as retrieving templates or posting a blog.
OAuth is an authorization framework used to grant access to APIs without sharing passwords.
Slug is the URL-friendly version of a post title; the existence check helps avoid duplicates.
Automatically generate email digests when a new blog post is created, pulling templates via GET emails/builder and sending through Rankr campaigns.
Publish blog highlights to email campaigns when posts are updated, using POST /blogs/posts and associated email templates.
Trigger social posts or other channels when new blogs are published, coordinating with emails via emails/schedule.
Collect the Blogs API keys and configure OAuth in Rankr; store secrets securely.
In Rankr, add a GHL integration and authorize the Blogs API, ensuring the scope allows required actions.
Map endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST blogs/posts, then run tests to verify data flows.
The GHL endpoints are specialized for caller actions inside GHL (like template retrieval or schedule actions), while Blogs API endpoints are focused on content like posts, authors, and categories. Use GHL endpoints to manage email templates and campaigns, and Blogs API endpoints to manage blog content. The integration combines both so you can trigger emails from blog events and vice versa. Start with reading templates (GET emails/builder) and posting blog content (POST /blogs/posts) to establish the data flow.
No heavy coding is required. The Rankr interface provides drag-and-drop automations, and the GHL integration handles the authentication and API calls. Some familiarity with endpoints and data fields helps, but most setups are accomplished through guided steps and UI mappings. For advanced needs, small script-like automations can be added, but it is not a prerequisite.
Begin with read-only access to email templates (GET emails/builder) and then connect blog content creation (POST /blogs/posts) and updates (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId). Ensure you have permissions for the endpoints you plan to use, and gradually expand to scheduling and data checks as you confirm data flows.
API keys should be kept secret and rotated regularly. OAuth tokens should be stored securely and scopes restricted to the minimum required. Use Rankr’s secure vault and, where possible, implement IP whitelisting and token expiration strategies to minimize risk.
Yes. Use a staging or sandbox environment if available. Test data flows end-to-end: create a blog post, fetch a related template, trigger an email, and verify the recipient lists. After successful tests, move changes to production with a controlled rollout.
You can sync blog content, templates, authors, categories, and schedule data. The exact fields depend on the endpoint, but you’ll typically map post titles, content, slugs, author IDs, and email template identifiers to build cohesive campaigns and blog workflows.
API documentation for the Blogs API and the GHL integration can be found in Rankr’s developer docs and the GHL API reference. Look for sections on posts, emails, schedules, and authentication to understand required parameters and data formats.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
