Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 or a dedicated API key from your GHL developer console. Ensure the requested scope is contacts.readonly to read contact data securely.
Rankr stores and uses tokens securely to call the GHL API on your behalf. Follow best practices for credential handling and rotate credentials regularly.
Endpoint 1: GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact by ID. Endpoint 2: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact. Endpoint 3: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Get a specific task. Endpoint 4: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — Fetch notes for a contact. Endpoint 5: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Get a single note. Endpoint 6: GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — Retrieve appointments for a contact. Endpoint 7: GET /contacts/ — List all contacts. Endpoint 8: GET /contacts/business/:businessId — Get contacts by business. Endpoint 9: contacts.write — Write access to contacts (API operation). Endpoint 10: POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact. Endpoint 11: PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact. Endpoint 12: DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact. Endpoint 13: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact. Endpoint 14: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a contact task. Endpoint 15: PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task complete. Endpoint 16: DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a contact task. Endpoint 17: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact.
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in Rankr to create or update the corresponding contact in GHL, then propagate related tasks and notes for a complete record.
Actions include creating/updating contacts (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId), and linking tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and notes (POST /contacts/:contactId/notes).
Methods: POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: email, name, contactId (GHL); rankr_contact_id in Rankr as a cross-reference.
Trigger when Rankr updates lead status or interests to apply relevant tags in GHL.
Actions: apply tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags with the desired tag set.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Fields: contactId, tags[]
Trigger on Rankr activity to annotate GHL with a summarized activity note.
Actions: create notes in GHL via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes with activity details.
POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Fields: contactId, noteContent, timestamp
Automate repetitive data entry without writing code.
Maintain a single source of truth for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags.
Build flexible workflows using standard endpoints and triggers.
This section defines essential elements and processes used to connect GHL’s Contacts API with Rankr, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
Application Programming Interface: a defined set of rules that allows software to communicate.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform a function in an API.
A mechanism for one app to notify another when an event occurs.
Verification of identity and permissions before accessing data.
Set up a workflow that creates a new GHL contact whenever a new Rankr contact is added.
When a task is assigned in Rankr, create a matching GHL task with due date alignment.
Apply GHL tags based on Rankr fields like lead status to enable segmentation.
Create a GHL API key or OAuth client and request the contacts.readonly scope.
Map Rankr fields to GHL contact fields and wire up endpoints 1-17 as needed.
Run tests, monitor logs, and deploy with proper error handling.
The Contacts API is GHL’s RESTful interface that lets you read and manipulate contact records, along with related data such as tasks, notes, and tags. It enables seamless data flow between GHL and external apps. You can start with read-only access to explore data and validate fields. In practice, this means you can pull contact details into Rankr and use them to power automated workflows.
You can sync contact details, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. The integration supports creating and updating contacts, managing tasks, attaching notes, and applying tags to enable segmentation. The exact endpoints used depend on your workflow, from fetching contacts (GET /contacts/) to creating tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and adding tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags).
No heavy coding is required for common use cases. You can connect Rankr to GHL via API keys or OAuth, configure field mappings, and set up triggers and actions. For advanced scenarios, small scripts or automated workflows can help, but the platform is designed for low-code integration.
Security is built on standard OAuth 2.0 or API key authentication, scoped access (e.g., contacts.readonly), and token rotation. Always follow least-privilege principles, store credentials securely, and audit access logs. Use secure environments for testing before going live.
The available endpoints include fetching and managing contacts, their tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. Not every endpoint is required for every page, but the set covers read, create, update, and delete operations for core contact data and related items.
Yes. You can create or update tasks for a contact (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), and you can attach or modify notes and tags to reflect activity or segmentation. This enables full task management directly from Rankr while keeping GHL up to date.
Test the connection by issuing sample requests to endpoints like GET /contacts/ and POST /contacts/ in a sandbox or staging environment. Verify authentication, scope, and data mappings. Monitor responses and error logs, adjust field mappings, then deploy to production.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
