GHL requires API credentials with the scope ‘contacts.readonly’ to access contact data. Use your GHL developer credentials to authorize Rankr’s requests.
Rankr uses a secure OAuth 2.0 flow to connect to GHL. Store tokens safely and refresh them before they expire to maintain uninterrupted access.
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
Trigger: when a contact is created or updated in GHL, Rankr upserts the corresponding contact instantly to keep data in sync.
Actions: upsert the contact in Rankr, along with related tasks, notes, and tags as applicable.
Method paths: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to assign tags.
Key fields: contactId, email, fullName, phone, tags, lastModified
Trigger: nightly batch runs pull changes from GHL and apply them to Rankr in bulk.
Actions: bulk upsert for multiple contacts, notes, and tasks to keep records aligned.
Method: use batch-friendly endpoints (GET /contacts, POST /contacts) for large imports and updates; use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for task synchronization.
Key fields: contactId, batchId, updatedAt
Trigger: GHL webhook events for contact changes trigger Rankr actions in real time.
Actions: create or update Rankr contacts, propagate changes to related tasks and notes.
Method: POST /contacts (create), PUT /contacts/:contactId (update), POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks (create tasks); POST /contacts/:contactId/tags (assign tags).
Key fields: contactId, email, name, status
No-code automations let you build powerful workflows quickly without writing code.
Data syncing across apps becomes faster and more reliable with real-time or near-real-time updates.
Centralized contact management in Rankr leverages GHL data to drive tasks, notes, and tags from a single place.
This glossary clarifies terms used in the integration, including endpoints, triggers, actions, and key fields.
A specific URL in the GHL API that exposes a function (for example, GET /contacts/:contactId).
An event in GHL that starts an automated workflow in Rankr (for example, a contact update).
A task performed by Rankr in response to a trigger (for example, upsert_contact).
The authorization protocol used to securely grant Rankr access to GHL data, using tokens with scopes.
When a new contact is added in Rankr, automatically create a corresponding contact in GHL to ensure data parity.
Keep tasks and notes synchronized by syncing updates from GHL to Rankr with minimal delay.
Log changes and alert you to sync failures to maintain data integrity.
Obtain a GHL API key with the contacts.readonly scope and configure the Rankr app connection.
Set up the OAuth 2.0 flow in Rankr and map the endpoints you will use (read, write, delete).
Test with sample contacts and tasks, verify data sync, then deploy to production with monitoring enabled.
The Contacts API gives read access to contact records and related data such as tasks, notes, and appointments depending on the scope. You can pull contact details to display in Rankr and trigger downstream automations from those records. For updates or creations, you’ll rely on write-capable endpoints if you have the appropriate permissions. Start with read-only access to validate the data flow.
No-code setup is possible: Rankr provides visual builders to configure triggers (events) and actions (upserts, creates, and updates) against the Contacts API. You can prototype workflows quickly and scale them without custom code, then export to production as needed.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. You’ll authorize Rankr to access GHL under a scoped token, then store and refresh the token securely. The flow typically involves a client ID, client secret, and a redirect URI as part of the setup.
GET /contacts/:contactId is essential to fetch a single contact. For syncing, GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks help you pull related data. Use PUT and POST variants to update or create contacts, tasks, and notes as needed.
Yes. You can update contacts, tasks, and notes from Rankr by calling the corresponding PUT or POST endpoints, provided the connected GHL account has write permissions. Plan your field mappings to ensure data integrity.
Tokens expire; implement refresh tokens and token rotation. Rankr should securely store refresh tokens and automatically renew access tokens before expiry, then retry failed requests.
Logs can be viewed in the Rankr dashboard under the integration activity area. Webhook events and API call histories include timestamps, endpoints, and status codes to help diagnose issues.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
