To authenticate the Blogs API within GHL, grant the scope emails/builder.readonly and complete the OAuth flow to authorize Rankr to access your content and templates.
In Rankr, securely store your API keys and tokens, rotate credentials regularly, and use environment variables to protect sensitive data during the integration.
Key endpoints used: GET emails/builder; GET 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: When a new blog post is created in Blogs API, automatically generate an email draft in the Email Builder.
Actions: Create email templates, populate content with post data, and schedule sends.
POST /blogs/posts
title, content, slug, authorId, status
Trigger: Updates to blog posts in Blogs API should sync back to Rankr and reflect in emails and templates.
Actions: Update title, content, slug, and publish status in both systems.
PUT /blogs/posts/:postId
postId, title, content, slug, status
Trigger: New categories or authors created in Blogs API should update Rankr records.
Actions: Sync metadata to Rankr and keep category lists current.
GET /blogs/categories
categoryId, name, slug
No code automation lets you publish, update, and distribute blog content without writing a line of code.
Visual workflows in Rankr trigger emails when new posts go live, reducing manual work.
Fast iterations with built in endpoints, templates, and scheduling keep your content engine running smoothly.
Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, data mapping, and authentication flows that connect Blogs API to Rankr through GHL.
A specific URL path that you call with HTTP methods to perform an action.
A URL friendly identifier for a blog post used in links.
A standard authorization framework that lets apps access user data without exposing credentials.
A listener that gets notified when events occur in the API.
Trigger a blog post draft in Blogs API when a new email arrives in Rankr, with templates filled automatically.
Schedule blog publications to align with marketing campaigns and email sends.
Keep author and category metadata in sync between Blogs API and Rankr for consistent attribution.
Register the Blogs API app in GHL and obtain client credentials and a redirect URL.
Set the scope to emails/builder.readonly and configure the endpoints you will call.
Test with sample posts and templates, monitor logs, and deploy when green.
The Blogs API lets you manage blog content and related emails via GHL. Connecting it to Rankr enables automated workflows that create, update, and publish posts from Rankr events. Through the GHL integration, you can pull templates, trigger email campaigns, and manage blog-related notifications. By using the Blogs API, you can centralize content operations without leaving your workflow tool. The two systems work together to synchronize content and communications efficiently.
The critical scope required is emails/builder.readonly to view and manage email templates. Additional permissions may be needed for posting and updating blog content, such as post write or post update scopes. Always limit scopes to what your app truly needs and follow best practices for credential management.
Yes. You can automate creating draft posts in Blogs API when new Rankr events occur, schedule posts, and push updates back to GHL supported templates. This eliminates manual steps and ensures consistency across channels.
Use the test or sandbox mode in GHL to run a simulated flow. Verify authentication, endpoint responses, and data mappings. Check logs in Rankr and GHL for errors, then iterate on mappings and triggers until the flow runs smoothly.
Essential endpoints typically include creating posts, updating posts, and slug checks. You’ll also want endpoints for retrieving categories and authors to populate templates and ensure accurate metadata in communications.
No heavy coding is required if you use the no code features of Rankr and the built in connector capabilities. Some light configuration of endpoints, scopes, and data mappings is usually enough to get up and running.
Troubleshooting tips include checking OAuth permissions, validating the data mapping between blog fields and email templates, enabling verbose logs, and testing with small datasets before scaling.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
