Access the Contacts API by obtaining an access token from your GHL account and including it in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Ensure your token includes the contacts.readonly scope for reading data.
Rankr uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access. After you authorize, you will receive an access token and a refresh token to call the API safely.
GET /contacts/:contactId GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId GET /contacts/:contactId/notes GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments GET /contacts/ GET /contacts/business/:businessId POST /contacts/ PUT /contacts/:contactId DELETE /contacts/:contactId POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL, push the change to Rankr in real time.
Actions: create or update the contact in Rankr, attach related tasks or notes as needed.
Endpoint path used: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name
Trigger: new or updated tasks or notes trigger sync to Rankr.
Actions: create/update tasks and notes in Rankr.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, title, status
Trigger: tag added/removed on a contact.
Actions: apply or remove tags in Rankr, synchronize metadata.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tag
Benefit 1: Build powerful automations without writing code.
Benefit 2: Real-time data flow between Rankr and the Contacts API.
Benefit 3: Centralized workflows with a familiar, no-code UI.
Key elements and processes include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, methods, and data fields.
Definition: a specific URL and HTTP method used to interact with the API.
Definition: a URL that receives event-driven data from GHL when something happens.
Definition: the process of proving identity and obtaining an access token to call the API.
Definition: the permissions granted to an app for API access.
Automatically create or update Rankr contacts when a lead submits a form via AidaForm.
Link form submissions to tasks and reminders in Rankr to keep teams aligned.
Tag contacts automatically based on form responses to tailor follow-ups.
Create an app in GHL and obtain client credentials.
Request required scopes and authorize Rankr to access Contacts data.
Run tests and monitor logs before going live.
Authentication begins by obtaining an access token through your GHL account and including it in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Ensure the token has the necessary scopes for reading contacts. For long-running processes, use the refresh token workflow to keep access uninterrupted. Once authenticated, test a simple GET request to verify connectivity and build from there.
For syncing contacts, prioritize endpoints that retrieve contact records and their related data (tasks, notes) in a single flow. Start with GET /contacts/:contactId and expand to related resources like tasks and notes to keep records aligned across systems. Consider batch operations where available to reduce calls and throttle impact on the API.
No coding is required to implement many Rankr + Contacts API integrations. You can leverage the no-code automation tools and webhooks to connect apps, trigger actions, and map fields. If you do need custom logic, small scripts or workflow rules can fill gaps without full development.
Yes. You can manage tasks via the API by creating, updating, and deleting tasks associated with contacts. This enables synchronized task management between GHL and Rankr so teams stay on track. Use endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to implement your workflows.
Supported data fields include contact identifiers (id, email), basic profile data (name, phone), and related objects (tasks, notes, tags). Depending on your GHL configuration, you can extend mappings to business IDs and custom fields. Always validate field mappings in a test environment before going live.
Error handling involves inspecting API responses for codes and messages. Implement retries with exponential backoff for transient issues and use proper rate limiting handling to avoid throttling. Log errors for auditing and quick remediation.
API documentation is accessible in your GHL developer portal and Rankr’s integration docs. Look for the Contacts API section, authentication guides, and endpoint references. If you need a quick start, use the example requests provided in the docs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
