Authenticate with OAuth 2.0 using your GHL developer credentials to obtain an access token. Include the token as a Bearer in every request and enforce the specified scope: contacts.readonly.
securely store the client ID and secret, rotate credentials regularly, and use a redirect URI for the OAuth flow. Implement token refresh and validate tokens before use.
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: a new or updated contact in Rankr or GHL should be reflected in the other system to maintain parity.
Actions: create or update the corresponding contact in GHL, then optionally sync related tasks and notes.
Example: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update a contact in both systems.
Key fields: id, email
Trigger: a task or note is created/updated to keep records in sync across platforms.
Actions: create/update tasks or notes on the opposite side to preserve context.
Example: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create a task.
Key fields: taskId, contactId
Trigger: notes or appointments are created or updated to keep timelines aligned.
Actions: replicate notes and schedule data between Rankr and GHL.
Example: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add notes.
Key fields: notesId, contactId
Fast setup with a visual app connector—no custom coding required.
Automations run in your existing workflow, reducing manual data entry.
Scales with your business: add more endpoints and actions as your needs evolve.
This glossary covers endpoints, triggers, actions, mappings, and data models used to connect Rankr with the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface that enables software components to communicate.
Authorization framework for obtaining access tokens securely.
Temporary token that grants permission to access resources in the API.
Permissions granted to an access token, such as readonly or write access.
Enhance contact records by pulling authoritative data from external sources when a contact syncs between Rankr and GHL.
Automatically generate tasks in GHL based on Rankr campaign milestones to keep teams aligned.
Share meeting notes and context between Rankr and GHL to improve collaboration.
Register your app in the GHL developer portal to obtain a client ID, client secret, and set a redirect URI.
Specify the required scope (contacts.readonly) and wire up the endpoints from the list above in your app.
Obtain tokens, test a few requests, and deploy the integration into your workflow.
No-code options exist with app connectors and automation platforms; however a basic understanding of API concepts helps. We provide step-by-step guides and prebuilt templates to speed up setup.
The scope for read-only access is ‘contacts.readonly’. With this scope you can fetch data but cannot modify. To update data, request broader scope like ‘contacts.write’.
Yes, you can update or create contacts and tasks via POST/PUT. You will need the appropriate write scopes and proper endpoint usage to ensure data integrity.
Use OAuth 2.0, store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and consider PKCE for public clients to enhance security.
Available endpoints cover contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Examples include GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/ to create a new contact.
Yes. You can configure webhooks and triggers so that actions in Rankr initiate automations in GHL, and vice versa, depending on your integration setup.
API documentation is available in the GHL developer portal and in the Rankr integration guides, which include endpoint references and authentication details.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
