Access to the GHL Contacts API requires a valid API key or OAuth token. Include the Authorization header: Bearer
During setup, authorise Rankr to access your GHL Contacts data via OAuth. Grant the minimum scopes required (read access by default; request write access only if you need to create or update records).
GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a contact by ID GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – List tasks for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Get a specific task GET /contacts/:contactId/notes – List notes for a contact GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id – Get a specific note GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments – List appointments GET /contacts/ – List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId – List contacts for a business POST /contacts/ – Create a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId – Update a contact PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – Mark a task complete DELETE /contacts/:contactId – Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Create a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update a task DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags – Add or assign tags
Trigger: when a contact is updated in GHL, Rankr pulls the latest data for that contact.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, name, phone
Trigger: new or updated tasks in GHL for a contact
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, status
Trigger: notes created or updated in GHL
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: id, content, createdAt
Faster setup with drag-and-drop configuration in the Zapier App Connector.
Automated workflows reduce manual data entry and keep data in sync across apps.
Scalable solution that adapts to changing data models without writing code.
This glossary defines endpoints, triggers, actions, and the data mappings between the GHL Contacts API and Rankr via the Zapier App Connector.
A defined set of rules, endpoints, and protocols that allow apps to request and receive data from a service.
An event in one app that starts a workflow in another app.
An operation performed in response to a trigger to create, update, or retrieve data.
Fields used to identify and map records between systems, such as contactId and taskId.
Set up a real-time update stream so Rankr reflects changes to a contact within seconds.
Create onboarding tasks in Rankr based on new contacts or notes in GHL.
Use notes content to segment contacts for targeted campaigns.
Obtain API key and OAuth credentials for the Zapier App Connector.
Map GHL endpoints to Rankr actions and set required scopes (read/write as needed).
Run endpoint tests, verify data mapping, and configure monitoring and alerts.
You’ll authenticate via OAuth or API key, with scope limited to read access for basic sync. For write access like creating tasks, request additional permissions. Ensure tokens are stored securely and rotated regularly.
Endpoints cover contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use GET for reads, POST to create, PUT to update, DELETE to remove. Consult the endpoint docs for exact parameters and response shapes.
Yes. Zapier no-code connectors let you build automation without writing code. You can connect the GHL Contacts API to Rankr with triggers and actions. Leverage canned templates or create custom Zaps for tailored workflows.
Map fields in the Zapier setup by selecting source and destination fields (e.g., contactId, email, name, phone). Ensure data types align and add simple validation where possible.
Respect rate limits by staggering requests and using batching when supported. Implement retries with exponential backoff and log failures for review.
Test in Zapier’s test environment, run end-to-end checks, and monitor logs and task histories. Set up alerts for failures.
Refer to the endpoint docs and the Zapier integration logs for error codes. Implement fallback logic and notify the team when errors occur.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
