Authenticate with the Contacts API using your GHL API credentials. Use bearer tokens for secure requests and rotate keys regularly to maintain security.
Rankr holds API tokens to access the Contacts API securely. Store tokens in a safe vault and renew them on a schedule.

Trigger: when a contact is updated in Rankr, fetch the latest data from the Contacts API.
Actions: pull in latest contact details, sync tags, and refresh notes and tasks.
HTTP methods: GET to retrieve data, PUT or POST to sync; example path GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, tags, notes, tasks
Trigger: nightly batch sync of contacts and related data
Actions: export contacts, update statuses, push tags, and refresh notes across systems
HTTP methods: GET /contacts/ for list, POST /contacts/ to upsert, PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates
Key fields: contactId, status, tags, lastUpdated
Trigger: when notes are added or updated for a contact
Actions: adjust lead score, assign to campaigns, and create follow-up tasks
HTTP methods: POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to capture notes; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update lead fields
Key fields: contactId, leadScore, notes, campaigns
No-code data enrichment: automatically pull and enrich contact records without writing code.
Unified view: see tasks, notes, and appointments in one place.
Fast onboarding: quick setup with API keys and simple endpoints.
This glossary covers common terms and processes used when integrating the Contacts API with Rankr.
A person or entity stored in the Contacts API with identifiers such as ID, email, and phone.
A to-do item associated with a contact, including status and due date.
A textual record linked to a contact used for context and history.
An upcoming or past meeting tied to a contact.
Automatically pull latest data from the Contacts API when a contact is updated in Rankr and refresh the dashboard with enriched fields.
Compute a lead score from notes, tasks, and activities and route leads to the right campaigns automatically.
Combine endpoints to present a single, actionable view of each contact including history, tasks, and upcoming appointments.
Obtain GHL API credentials and generate a Rankr connection. Securely store your API key or token.
Use the token to authenticate, then test a simple GET /contacts/:contactId request to validate connectivity.
Create automations in Rankr that trigger on contact changes and call relevant Contacts API endpoints to update data automatically.
Authentication to the Contacts API is secured with bearer tokens issued by your GHL developer console. Include the token in the Authorization header of each request. Rotate tokens regularly and store them securely to minimize exposure. If your setup supports OAuth, follow the standard OAuth flow to obtain access tokens and refresh tokens.
For enrichment, start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull the primary profile, then pull related data with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to build a richer view. To update, use POST /contacts/ to create or PUT /contacts/:contactId to modify existing records. Use DELETE or PATCH equivalents where supported to maintain data hygiene.
No heavy coding is required. Use Rankr’s built-in connectors and the provided endpoints to map fields, trigger actions, and automate workflows. If your needs grow, you can add lightweight scripts, but many integrations can be achieved with no-code configurations.
A robust model includes a contact entity with identifiers, basic demographics, and a linked set of notes, tasks, and appointments. This structure supports enrichment, activity tracking, and effective lead routing across Rankr and the Contacts API.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
