Authenticate using the standard OAuth 2.0 flow and ensure your app has the correct scopes (for this page: contacts.readonly). This keeps read access secure while you explore integration options.
To authorize Rankr, obtain your client credentials in Rankr’s developer console, configure the GHL redirect URI, and grant the contacts.readonly scope. This establishes a trusted link between Rankr and your GHL instance.
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; contacts.write (permission); 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 opened or updated in Rankr to pull the latest data from GHL.
Actions: fetch contact details (GET /contacts/:contactId) and fetch related tasks (GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks).
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: when a contact’s notes are updated or new notes are added in GHL.
Actions: fetch notes (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes) and assign tags (POST /contacts/:contactId/tags).
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, noteId, tagId
Trigger: when querying the full contact list to support business-wide analysis.
Actions: list all contacts (GET /contacts/) and fetch business-scoped contacts (GET /contacts/business/:businessId).
GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, businessId, name
No-code setup lets you automate contact management between GHL and Rankr without custom development.
Real-time sync ensures up-to-date information across platforms, reducing manual updates.
Secure authentication and scoped access protect sensitive contact data while enabling powerful automation.
This glossary clarifies core terms and processes used in the integration between GHL (Contacts API) and Rankr.
A unique identifier for a contact in GHL.
Unique identifier for a task associated with a contact.
Notes attached to a contact, including meeting notes and updates.
Identifier for a business context linked to contacts.
Automatically pull updated contact details, notes, and tasks from GHL into Rankr to keep records current.
Create and sync tasks between GHL and Rankr to automate follow-ups and reminders.
Aggregate contact data by businessId and export insights to Rankr dashboards.
In the GHL developer portal, create a new OAuth app to obtain a client ID and client secret.
Set Rankr’s callback URL as the redirect URI in GHL and request the necessary scope, such as contacts.readonly.
Test the connection with a sample contact to verify data flow before going live.
The integration uses the contacts.readonly scope to securely read contact data from GHL. If your use case requires writing data back to GHL, you would need elevated permissions such as contacts.write and proper approval. Always start with read-only access to validate the data flow before requesting write access.
Yes. If you enable the appropriate scopes (for example, contacts.write), Rankr can update contact fields or create tasks in GHL. Exercise caution and apply write permissions only to trusted automations to avoid unintended data changes.
Begin with GET /contacts/:contactId to verify fetching a single contact, then expand to listing all contacts with GET /contacts/ and finally explore tasks with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. This phased approach helps validate mappings before enabling full sync.
Use a sandbox or test contact and monitor the Rankr-GHL connection using the API logs. Validate that data populates correctly in Rankr and that subsequent changes in GHL reflect back as expected. Confirm error handling and retry behavior as well.
Webhooks can provide near realtime updates, but they are optional for this flow. If you rely on webhooks, ensure your Rankr endpoints are securely exposed and can handle incoming payloads from GHL.
Common fields to map include contactId, name, email, phone, and status. For tasks and notes, map taskId, noteId, and timestamps to maintain proper synchronization and history.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Refer to your GHL API plan details and implement exponential backoff and retry logic in Rankr to avoid hitting limits during peak loads.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
