Authenticate requests using your GHL access token. Include the token in the Authorization header as Bearer
Rankr uses the same Bearer token approach when talking to the GHL API; ensure Rankr stores tokens securely and refreshes them as needed. Use the scopes relevant to the actions you perform.
– GET /contacts/:contactId (Retrieve a contact) – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks (List tasks for a contact) – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId (Get a specific task) – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes (List notes for a contact) – GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id (Get a specific note) – GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments (List appointments for a contact) – GET /contacts/ (List all contacts) – GET /contacts/business/:businessId (List contacts for a business) – contacts.write (API scope for write operations) – 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)
When a contact is created or updated in Rankr, fetch the latest details from GHL using GET /contacts/:contactId and push updates back with PUT.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch; PUT /contacts/:contactId to modify; optionally POST /contacts/ to create new contacts based on Rankr data.
Example: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, tags, notes
Whenever a task is created or updated for a contact, mirror the change via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks or PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed as needed.
Examples: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: taskId, contactId, status, dueDate, title
Sync notes and appointments when events occur using GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; optionally POST or PUT to create or update.
Examples: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: noteId, appointmentId, contactId, date, details
Automate data flows without writing code, reducing manual data entry.
Keep records in Rankr and GHL in sync in real time.
Improve team collaboration with centralized contact data.
This glossary covers API endpoints, authentication, webhooks, payloads, and the data elements you’ll work with when connecting Rankr to GHL using the Contacts API.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to access or modify data in the GHL API.
The process of verifying identity and granting access to API resources (using Bearer tokens or OAuth).
A callback or listener that notifies your system when events occur in GHL or Rankr.
The data body sent with API requests or received in responses.
Pull enriched data from GHL for new contacts and push into Rankr to instantly enhance records.
Create and update tasks in GHL from Rankr events to trigger follow-ups.
Bidirectional sync of notes and appointments to keep context consistent.
Obtain a GHL access token for Rankr and authorize the app with required scopes (contacts.readonly, contacts.write).
Map Rankr actions to GHL endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) using the 1-17 endpoints listed above.
Run test cases, verify data integrity, monitor logs, and deploy to production.
Rankr can sync contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments with GHL using the Contacts API endpoints. Map fields like name, email, phone, and tags so both systems reflect the same data. You can also enable bidirectional sync for critical fields. Consider data governance and field mappings to ensure consistency, and use webhooks to trigger real-time updates.
Security is handled via OAuth/Bearer tokens. Tokens should be stored securely and rotated regularly. Always use HTTPS, restrict scopes to what is needed (readonly vs write), and monitor for anomalies.
The key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId, and GET related endpoints for tasks, notes, and appointments. You can also manage tags, delete contacts, and fetch business-specific contacts via /contacts/business/:businessId.
Handle errors by inspecting HTTP status codes and error messages. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff. Be mindful of rate limits and batch operations where supported; log errors for debugging.
Yes, no-code automation is supported through the Zapier-like connector. You can trigger steps based on events and map fields. You can chain multiple actions without writing code, using prebuilt triggers and actions.
Test in a sandbox or with test data. Use test contacts, tasks, and notes to verify mappings. Review logs, check sync latency, and confirm data integrity before going live.
API changes can require mapping updates. Maintain a changelog and monitor release notes. Plan for backward compatibility and update your integration configuration as needed.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
