How to connect Rankr to Blogs API

A quick guide to linking Blogs API with Rankr for Squarespace Commerce.

This integration lets you manage Squarespace Commerce content and promotional emails from Rankr via the Blogs API (GHL). It covers authentication, endpoint usage, and practical workflow examples for publishing posts, managing emails, and organizing categories.

Authenticate the Blogs API (GHL)

Generate a GHL API key with the required scope (emails/builder.readonly) to securely access your data and enable Rankr to interact with the Blogs API.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need coding to set this up?

No coding is required thanks to the no-code workflows in Rankr and GHL. Triggers, actions, and field mappings handle data movement automatically. You can assemble your workflow using a visual editor and test it with sample content.\n\nThis setup is designed for marketers and content teams who want to automate publishing and promotions without writing server code.

Essential initial endpoints include: POST /blogs/posts to publish new content and PUT /blogs/posts/:postId to update it. Use GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists to verify slug availability before publishing. For emails, POST /emails/builder creates templates and GET /emails/schedule helps you plan sends.\n\nStarting with these endpoints lets you build a solid content-and-email workflow before expanding to additional endpoints as needed.

Yes. You can schedule blog posts and email campaigns from Rankr. Use the blogs and emails endpoints to set publish times and sequences so that new content and promos go live together.\n\nLeverage templates and schedules to maintain consistency across posts and emails.

Slug existence can be checked with GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists and blogs/check-slug.readonly. If a slug is taken, adjust the title or slug strategy and try again. This helps prevent duplicate URLs and preserves SEO value.\n\nYou can also implement slug generation as part of your Rankr workflow to streamline publishing.

The example scope shown is emails/builder.readonly. For full write capabilities, you would typically request broader scopes (e.g., emails/builder, blogs/post.write) via OAuth or API key configuration. Always grant the minimal scope necessary for the task and follow least-privilege practices.

Maintain consistency by using shared templates, standard metadata, and a single source of truth for post titles and slugs. Use versioning and clear naming conventions so updates propagate across posts and emails.

You can view endpoint activity in the GHL API dashboard or the Rankr activity logs. Webhooks can notify you of successful publishes or errors, helping you monitor the integration in real time.
