Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL API key or OAuth token. Include the Authorization header in every call and respect the defined scopes (contacts.readonly).
Register Rankr as a connected app in your GHL account, generate client credentials, and securely store them to sign requests to endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId.
– GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact by ID – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List tasks for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Retrieve a specific task – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes — List notes for a contact – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id — Retrieve a specific note – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments — List appointments for a contact – GET /contacts/ — List all contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts by business – API scope: contacts.write — (write access to contacts data) – POST /contacts/ — Create a new contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact – DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task for a contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task as completed – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Add tags to a contact
Use this when you need a single contact’s data for profiling, scoring, or personalized outreach.
Call GET /contacts/:contactId and map core fields (name, email, phone, tags) to Rankr records; enrich with notes or tasks if needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId (required); optional fields query to limit payload
Use for initial data sync or ongoing batch updates.
Use GET /contacts/ with pagination; map each contact to Rankr and schedule periodic sync.
GET /contacts/
pagination parameters (page, limit); optional filters
When a new lead is created in Rankr and should exist in GHL.
Use POST /contacts/ with a payload including name, email, phone, and custom fields.
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, customFields
Automatic real-time data sync between Rankr and your Contacts records reduces manual data entry and keeps data consistent.
Trigger Rankr workflows from GHL events (new contact, updated task, changed status) without writing code.
A unified customer view across Rankr and GHL accelerates decisioning and personalization.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, rate limits, data mapping, and webhook considerations to ensure reliable integration.
Application Programming Interface: a set of rules that lets Rankr and GHL talk to each other securely.
The process of verifying identity before granting access, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A specific URL path in the API that performs a function, such as retrieving a contact.
The maximum number of requests allowed in a time window to prevent abuse and ensure stable service.
Automatically pull core contact data from GHL and enrich Rankr profiles in real time for better segmentation and outreach.
Trigger Rankr workflows based on contact lifecycle events captured in GHL, such as new contact creation or task completion.
Set up nightly or hourly syncs to keep Rankr in sync with GHL’s latest contact data without manual imports.
In GHL, generate a dedicated API key or OAuth client for Rankr and securely store it for use in integration settings.
Enter the credentials in Rankr’s integration panel and map contact fields to GHL fields.
Run test calls to endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId and verify data integrity and mappings.
You can connect without writing code by using Rankr’s built-in integration settings and the GHL API. The connector handles authentication and field mapping for common contact data. If you need custom mappings, configure them in the field mapping section and test with a sample contact. If you prefer a hands-on approach, you can also call the endpoints directly using standard HTTP requests to GET /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/.
GHL supports token-based authentication. Use your GHL API key or OAuth token in the Authorization header for each request. Refresh tokens as needed and implement exponential backoff to handle token expiry gracefully. Keep credentials secure in Rankr’s vault. Documented token lifetimes and scopes ensure you request only what you need (e.g., contacts.readonly for read operations).
For initial sync, start with GET /contacts/ to pull the full list of contacts, then paginate through results with page and limit parameters. Use GET /contacts/:contactId to verify and enrich individual profiles. Schedule recurring syncs to keep Rankr up to date with any changes in GHL.
Map GHL fields to Rankr fields in the integration settings. Create a mapping table that aligns fields like name, email, phone, tags, and notes. Validate mappings with a test contact to ensure data appears correctly in Rankr and downstream automations.
Rate limits exist to protect the API. If you approach the limit, slow requests, batch calls where possible, and implement retry with backoff. Consider scheduling syncs during off-peak hours to minimize throttling.
Yes. Use POST /contacts/ to create new contacts in GHL from Rankr. Include required fields (name, email) and any custom fields you rely on. After creation, confirm the new contact ID is returned and map it back to Rankr.
API endpoints are available in your GHL integration settings and in Rankr’s connected app docs. You’ll find endpoint references for contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in the integration panel and the developer docs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
