Authenticate requests securely using OAuth 2.0 flows or API keys, depending on your setup; store tokens safely and rotate credentials regularly.
Rankr securely authenticates with GHL to access Contacts API endpoints, including token management, scopes, and renewal strategies.
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 Write permission: contacts.write 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
Trigger: On-demand lookups when a contact is opened in Rankr or on scheduled sync.
Actions: fetch contact data, pull related tasks and notes for a complete view.
GET /contacts/:contactId
id, name, email, phone, status, last_updated
Trigger: when a task is created or updated in GHL.
Actions: pull tasks into Rankr; update status and due dates as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: notes added or updated for a contact.
Actions: fetch notes, attach tags, and surface in Rankr timelines.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
noteId, content, createdAt
Benefit 1: Build automations without coding using prebuilt endpoints.
Benefit 2: Centralize contact activity history in Rankr dashboards.
Benefit 3: Accelerate onboarding with ready-to-use API calls.
This section defines API endpoints, authentication methods, rate limits, tokens, and how data maps between GHL and Rankr.
A specific URL path and HTTP method used to interact with an API.
Process of proving identity to receive access tokens for API calls.
Authorization framework that issues access tokens with scopes.
Maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window.
Combine notes, tasks, and appointments to enrich contact records in Rankr for richer customer histories.
Trigger Rankr actions when tasks are updated in GHL to keep teams aligned.
Merge contacts, tasks, and notes into a single, searchable timeline in Rankr.
Create an API key or OAuth client in GHL and securely store the credentials.
Enter the base URL, set scopes to contacts.readonly, and configure redirect URIs as needed.
Run test calls like GET /contacts to verify data flows between GHL and Rankr.
No extensive coding is required thanks to the prebuilt endpoints exposed by the GHL Contacts API. Use your API credentials to authorize requests from Rankr and map fields like name, email, and phone to your contact records. If you prefer a no-code approach, use Zapier or similar connectors to trigger Rankr actions based on GHL events.
For basics, focus on GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch core contact details, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull associated tasks. You can extend with notes and appointments as needed. This provides a complete, actionable view without exposing unnecessary data.
Token lifecycles depend on your chosen auth method. OAuth tokens refresh automatically via refresh tokens, while API keys may require periodic rotation. Always implement secure storage and automatic renewal checks in Rankr.
Yes. Create tasks in GHL via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks from Rankr to keep teams in sync. You can then reflect task status updates back to Rankr using PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Rate limits vary by your GHL plan. Plan for bursts by implementing exponential backoff and retry logic in Rankr. Stay within the documented quotas to avoid throttling.
Common fields include id, name, email, phone, status, last_updated for contacts; for tasks: taskId, title, status, dueDate; for notes: noteId, content, createdAt.
API documentation is available in your GHL developer portal and within the Rankr integration guide. Use the portal to view endpoint details, auth methods, and example requests.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
