Authenticate requests using your GHL OAuth credentials with the scope contacts.readonly. This ensures Rankr can read contact data securely.
Connect Rankr to GHL using a secure OAuth flow via Zapier, granting the same read scope so Rankr can retrieve contact information.
– 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

This section defines essential elements and processes for integrating GHL with Rankr: authentication, endpoints, triggers, actions, and common data fields.
Authorization framework used by GHL to grant scoped access to resources.
A URL path that exposes a specific operation on the GHL API.
A notification that fires when a defined event occurs in GHL.
Specific data fields such as contactId, email, name, and tags.
Create a flow that creates a new contact in GHL when a new lead is added in Rankr.
Queue tasks in GHL when Rankr assigns a lead to a pipeline stage.
Tag contacts in GHL based on Rankr attributes to drive campaigns.
Authorize Rankr to access your GHL data using OAuth.
Select relevant endpoints and set up automations.
Run live tests to verify data flow before going to production.
The GHL Contacts API provides programmatic access to contact data, including core fields, tasks, notes, and tags. It enables reading, listing, and querying records to power automations and CRM workflows. Use the endpoints listed in the Endpoint List to fetch data as needed for Rankr workflows. Authentication is performed via OAuth 2.0 with the scope set to readonly (contacts.readonly) for safe data retrieval. If your integration requires write capabilities, ensure your tenant grants the appropriate permissions (e.g., contacts.write) and implement proper security on token handling.
You can access a range of endpoints for reading and managing contacts, tasks, notes, and tags, such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks. For a full list, consult the Endpoint List in this guide. In Zapier, connect Rankr to GHL by selecting the Contacts API app, then authorize the connection to enable these endpoints in your Zaps.
Authentication is handled with OAuth 2.0. When you connect Rankr to GHL through Zapier, you will authorize access to your GHL data, granting the scope that matches your needs (readonly for viewing data, write for creating or updating). Store tokens securely and refresh them as required by your OAuth provider.
By default, the Contacts API allows read operations with the contacts.readonly scope. To modify or create data (such as adding tasks or tags), your integration must use a write-enabled scope (e.g., contacts.write) and implement proper permission checks. Always abide by data governance requirements when writing data between GHL and Rankr.
In Zapier, test endpoints by creating a test Zap and using the built-in test steps to fetch or post data. Validate that data maps correctly (contactId, email, etc.) and that triggers fire as expected. If errors occur, review OAuth scopes, endpoint permissions, and the request payload to ensure alignment with GHL’s API schema.
You can synchronize contact core fields, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags between GHL and Rankr. The exact data you move depends on the endpoints you choose and the scopes granted to your integration. Use mapping to ensure fields align with Rankr data structures for reliable automation.
GHL API rate limits and errors are documented in your GHL developer resources. When building Zaps, implement retry logic and exponential backoff to handle transient errors. If you encounter persistent issues, check token validity, scopes, and endpoint permissions, and consult the API error messages for remediation steps.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
