Obtain your GHL API credentials with the required scope (contacts.readonly) and secure OAuth tokens to authorize API calls.
Use OAuth tokens issued to Rankr to authorize requests to the GHL Contacts API, keeping tokens secure and scoped to contacts.readonly.
Key endpoints used with the Contacts API include: 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, 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 Rankr.
Actions: create or update the corresponding GHL contact; optionally attach notes, tasks, or tags.
POST /contacts/ to create or PUT /contacts/:contactId to update.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone.
Trigger: New Rankr contact or updated data.
Actions: POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and map fields between Rankr and GHL.
POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId.
Key fields: id, name, email, status.
Trigger: Rankr creates or updates a task or note for a contact.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to update or complete.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes (creation).
Key fields: taskId, noteId, subject, status.
Automate data flow between Rankr and GHL without writing code.
Create a unified view of contacts, tasks, and notes across apps.
Speed up onboarding and reduce manual data entry with automated syncing.
This glossary covers core elements: Contacts, Endpoints, Triggers, Actions, and Key Data Fields used by the GHL Contacts API and Rankr integration.
People stored in GHL associated with a company or individual, with name, email, phone, and related data.
API paths you call to retrieve or modify data, such as /contacts and /contacts/:contactId.
Events in Rankr that start an automation, such as new contact creation or update.
Operations performed via the API, like POST, PUT, or DELETE requests to manage data.
Use webhooks to surface updates and auto-sync contact fields as they change in Rankr.
Automatically generate and assign tasks in GHL when Rankr triggers a new action.
Attach notes in GHL when Rankr updates contact context to keep teams aligned.
Obtain OAuth tokens for Rankr and grant access to GHL with the contacts.readonly scope.
Select endpoint calls and map Rankr fields to GHL fields such as name, email, and phone.
Run tests, verify data integrity, and enable automation with monitoring alerts.
The GHL Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and related data. In Rankr, you can automate workflows by triggering actions when a contact is created, updated, or receives new tasks or notes. This integration empowers teams to keep contact data synchronized across Rankr and GHL without manual data entry.
Access is controlled by OAuth scopes. For read-only operations, use the contacts.readonly scope; write actions require additional permissions granted by your GHL administrator. Always secure tokens and rotate credentials regularly.
Yes. The API supports creating and updating tasks and notes linked to a contact. Use POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to add items, and PUT endpoints to update them. Map fields carefully to ensure data consistency between Rankr and GHL.
Authenticate using OAuth tokens and never embed secrets in client-side code. Use secure storage for tokens, implement token refresh, and validate incoming webhooks with proper signatures.
Start with essential read operations like GET /contacts/:contactId to verify data flow, then add create/update calls (POST /contacts/, PUT /contacts/:contactId) and finally extend with tasks and notes endpoints as needed. Always test mappings with a sample contact before going live.
There are no-code style options via app connectors and automation templates that wire Rankr to the GHL Contacts API. You can configure triggers and actions in Rankr and map fields without writing custom code.
Check Rankr activity logs and the GHL API audit logs for a complete view of requests and responses. Enable webhooks to receive real-time event notifications and set up alerts for failures.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
