How to connect Rankr to Contacts API

Brandfolder integration with Rankr using the Contacts API

Connecting Contacts API with Rankr: a quick guide

This guide walks you through authenticating, selecting endpoints, and setting up a no-code connection between Brandfolder via the GHL Contacts API and Rankr.

Authenticate the Contacts API

Authorize Rankr to read and interact with contact data via the Contacts API using secure OAuth 2.0 credentials.

Authorize Rankr (APPNAME) access

Rankr requests minimal scopes (contacts.readonly) to fetch contact details, notes, tasks, and related items.

GHL API endpoints used

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

Frequently asked questions

What is a Brandfolder GHL connection?

A Brandfolder GHL connection is a no-code or low-code integration that links Brandfolder assets with the GHL Contacts API to sync and manage contact data. It enables automated data flow between Brandfolder and Rankr so teams stay aligned without manual exports. You can read contacts, notes, and tasks through the API and map fields to Rankr objects. This setup is ideal for sales, marketing, and customer success teams that rely on asset-linked contact insights.

Yes. The approach described here emphasizes no-code or low-code tooling, using OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication and standard HTTP endpoints. If you need custom logic, you can add lightweight automation steps in Rankr or via a middleware tool, but many users run the integration entirely through built-in actions and triggers.

Essential endpoints typically include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to attach notes. Depending on your needs, you may also use GET /contacts/ for bulk access and GET /contacts/business/:businessId for business-wide lookups. Start with read operations and expand to writes as you validate data mappings.

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. In the Rankr setup, you’ll obtain a clientId and clientSecret from the GHL developer portal, authorize Rankr to access your Contacts data, and store the access token securely. Refresh tokens handle long-running connections, so your integration remains active without repeated logins.

Typical contact data includes identifiers (contactId), name fields (firstName, lastName), email, phone, notes, and related tasks. The API also allows access to assets and notes tied to a contact, enabling richer context for sales and support teams. Field availability depends on the endpoint and scope configured during setup.

Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint, but you should plan for bursts when assets are updated or numerous contacts are synced. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and use webhooks where available to reduce polling. If you exceed limits, optimize queries and batch requests when the API supports it.

Common issues include authentication failures, invalid field mappings, and endpoint permissions. Verify that the OAuth scopes include the required access (e.g., readonly for reads). Double-check the endpoint URLs and that the app is granted access to the correct Brandfolder or contact data. Review error messages for specifics and consult the integration logs for troubleshooting.
