Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a developer to set this up?

No development skills are required for basic setups; Rankr’s no-code builder guides you through authentication and endpoint mapping. For more complex workflows or custom field mappings, you may collaborate with a developer to tailor triggers and actions to your business rules.

This integration primarily uses endpoints related to emails and blogs, such as POST /blogs/posts and GET /blogs/categories. The Endpoint List section highlights each endpoint you can leverage, and triggers align actions with new posts, updates, or category changes.

Yes. You can map standard fields like postId, slug, title, and category to corresponding Rankr fields. For any custom fields, use Rankr’s payload mapping features to align data structures.

Yes. All API interactions use secure token-based authentication with scoped permissions. Store credentials in a secure vault and rotate them periodically. Follow best practices for secrets management.

Use Rankr’s Test Connection tool and publish a test post to verify email triggers. Review webhook responses and API error messages to confirm payload alignment and endpoint behavior.

If credentials rotate, update the connection in Rankr and re-test the integration. Consider enabling credential monitoring and auto-rotation where possible to minimize downtime.

Error logs are available in Rankr’s Integration Dashboard under the GHL connection. For deeper issue resolution, review the GHL API response bodies and adjust payloads or endpoint selections.
