To access the GHL Contacts API, obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token with the scope set to at least contacts.readonly (and additional permissions as needed). Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer
Rankr authenticates to the GHL API using OAuth 2.0 credentials or an API key, depending on your setup. Configure an app client in Rankr to request an access token for the Contacts API (scope: contacts.readonly and any higher privileges you require). Use the token in requests to GHL.
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
When a contact is created or updated in GHL, Rankr creates or updates the corresponding contact record and schedules related tasks as needed.
Actions include creating/updating contacts (POST/PUT on /contacts), creating tasks (POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks), and updating task status (PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId).
Primary methods: GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, name, email, phone, tasks, tags
Adding a note or tag in GHL updates the linked Rankr contact’s notes array or tag list.
Actions include retrieving notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes) and applying tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags).
Methods: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, notes, tags
Periodically pull the latest contact data to keep Rankr insights current.
Actions are read-only in this pattern: GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId for overview data.
GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
contactId, businessId, name, lastUpdated
No-code setup lets you connect Rankr to the GHL Contacts API in minutes, without writing custom code.
Real-time or scheduled data sync ensures records stay aligned across systems with minimal maintenance.
Orchestrate tasks, notes, and tags in unified workflows for faster automation.
Common data elements and processes used by the GHL Contacts API integration with Rankr.
Application Programming Interface that lets software systems talk to each other and exchange data.
The process of verifying identity and obtaining access tokens to call APIs securely.
A specific URL path in an API used to perform a particular action on a resource.
A user-defined HTTP callback that delivers real-time data from one system to another.
Auto-create a Rankr contact when a new GHL contact is added, and prepopulate fields from GHL.
Automatically generate tasks in Rankr based on GHL activity, with due dates and owners synced.
Sync notes and tags to maintain context across systems and speed up triage.
Register your app and obtain OAuth credentials; set the scope to include contacts.readonly and any needed permissions.
Define triggers for contact creation, updates, and task changes; map fields between systems and configure actions.
Run test cases, monitor data flow, and adjust mappings to ensure data integrity.
The Contacts API allows reading contact details, associated tasks, notes, and appointments for a contact. You can also fetch a list of all contacts and business-specific data. This enables comprehensive visibility into contact activity from Rankr. The read-only scope helps protect data integrity while enabling automation.
No heavy coding is required for basic integrations. Many steps can be accomplished through no-code automation builders and connectors. If you need custom logic, you can extend Rankr using the API endpoints provided.
Authentication is token-based. Obtain an access token via OAuth 2.0, and refresh tokens before expiry. Store tokens securely and include them in Authorization headers for each request.
Yes, you can write data to endpoints such as creating a new contact or adding tasks. Use POST /contacts/ to create, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks, and PUT /contacts/:contactId to update records.
Webhooks are supported to deliver real-time updates. Configure your endpoint in Rankr to receive notifications for contact changes, task updates, or new notes.
Rate limits apply. Plan for bursts by batching requests and implementing exponential backoff. If you hit limits, spread requests over time or contact support for higher quotas.
You can test endpoints in a safe sandbox environment or use your own staging environment. Many API providers offer a testing mode or sample data to validate requests before production use.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
