Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Blogs API in GHL and how does it connect to Rankr?

The Blogs API in GHL provides endpoints to manage blog content, templates, and emails within Rankr workflows. By connecting Rankr to GHL, you can automate publishing and notification processes across platforms. This integration leverages endpoints like GET emails/builder and POST /blogs/posts to keep content and campaigns in sync.

No coding is required for standard setups. Use GHL’s built-in automations and templates to map Rankr events to blog and email actions. If your use case grows, you can extend with custom webhooks, but the goal here is a no-code, scalable connection.

Typical workflows use endpoints such as GET emails/builder, POST emails/builder, POST /blogs/posts, PUT /blogs/posts/:postId, and GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists. These cover email delivery, blog publishing, and slug management to avoid conflicts.

Yes. You can set up digest emails, blog update notifications, or new post alerts to subscribers automatically by pairing Rankr events with GHL emails/builder actions and data endpoints.

Authentication is handled via a consent-based flow between Rankr and GHL, using scoped permissions like emails/builder.readonly. Ensure credentials are stored securely and renew tokens as needed.

Rate limits and scopes depend on your GHL plan. Review the documented limits for endpoints used in this integration (emails/builder, blogs, and related endpoints) and request higher quotas if necessary.
