Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials. Use OAuth tokens or API keys with the scope set to minimal access (contacts.readonly) to limit permissions and improve security.
Authorize Rankr to access your GHL data by exchanging OAuth tokens and applying the defined scope (contacts.readonly). Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Core endpoints you may use include: 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, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed, DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. The API also uses the contacts.write scope for create/update operations.
Trigger when you need to pull a contact’s core data and related tasks into Rankr.
Actions: Retrieve contact details, fetch tasks, and assemble a combined view.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId
Trigger when notes for a contact are needed.
Actions: List notes, view note details.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId
Trigger when you need to update a contact’s data in GHL from Rankr.
Actions: Update contact details, modify fields.
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId
Automates data flow between Rankr and GHL, reducing manual data entry.
Keeps contact records in sync across platforms for accurate CRM data.
Enables scalable automation with standard HTTP endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
This glossary defines terms and processes used in the integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields.
A specific URL and HTTP method combination that performs a defined action (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId).
The process of verifying identity and permissions to access and modify data via the API (OAuth2 or API keys).
GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE specify the action to perform on a resource.
A data object you interact with, such as contacts, notes, or tasks.
Automatically create or update GHL contacts when new leads are captured in Rankr, ensuring both systems stay in sync.
Create GHL tasks from Rankr actions and pull notes for richer context, enabling seamless context switching between platforms.
Trigger Rankr workflows from GHL events and automate updates via the endpoints to reduce manual intervention.
Obtain OAuth tokens and grant Rankr the minimal scope (contacts.readonly) to access contact data without broader access.
Select endpoints and map fields (e.g., contactId, taskId, notes id) to Rankr fields to ensure correct data flow.
Run tests to verify data sync, handle errors, and deploy the integration to production with monitoring.
You’ll typically need at least the contacts.readonly scope to view contact data. If you plan to update records or create new ones, you’ll require broader permissions (such as contacts.write). Always use the principle of least privilege and rotate tokens regularly. Store credentials securely in your vault and monitor for unauthorized access.
To test, use a sandbox or staging environment and run sample requests (GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks) to verify responses. Check field mappings, confirm permissions, and validate error handling. After successful tests, gradually promote to production with monitoring and alerts.
Yes. Read operations (GET) are allowed with read-only scopes. Write operations (POST, PUT, DELETE) require corresponding write permissions. Ensure your app enforces proper permission checks and logs all mutating requests for traceability.
Treat OAuth tokens like passwords: store them securely, rotate on a schedule, and use short-lived tokens with refresh. Never commit tokens to code or logs. Implement token revocation and monitor for unusual activity.
API endpoints may be updated or deprecated. Subscribe to changelogs and implement feature flags to switch endpoint versions without downtime. Maintain tests to quickly adapt to new paths or data models.
Sample payloads are available in the API documentation or your developer console. Start with simple GET requests to understand responses, then move to structured POST/PUT payloads with the exact field mappings used in Rankr.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
