To access the Contacts API from Rankr, you’ll need a valid access token with the appropriate scope (for example, contacts.readonly). Store credentials securely, rotate tokens regularly, and follow best practices for API security when connecting Rankr to GHL.
Grant Rankr permission in your GHL account to read and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Use the recommended authentication method (OAuth or API key) and apply the correct scopes for your use case.
GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a single contact by ID. 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 — Permission to write contacts. 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.
Trigger: When a contact is created or updated in Rankr, fetch the latest details from the GHL Contacts API.
Actions: Create or update the contact in Rankr, attach related tasks and notes as they exist.
GET /contacts/:contactId

Trigger: Updates to a contact’s tasks in Rankr sync to GHL.
Actions: Create, update, or complete tasks in GHL from Rankr.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: taskId, title, status, dueDate
Trigger: Notes or appointments added in Rankr update GHL records.
Actions: Create notes and schedule or update appointments in GHL.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: noteId, content, createdAt
No-code integration lets you connect Rankr with the GHL Contacts API in minutes, without writing a line of code.
Automate data flow and reduce manual data entry with triggers, actions, and pre-built workflows.
Scale your processes quickly using reusable patterns and centralized data history across systems.
This section defines common terms, data elements, and processes used in the Rankr ↔ GHL Contacts API integration, including endpoints, authentication, triggers, and field mappings.
GHL refers to the API layer that exposes endpoints for managing contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments within the connected platform, enabling seamless data exchange.
The method Rankr uses to prove identity to the GHL API, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys with scoped permissions.
An API path you call to perform an action or retrieve data (e.g., /contacts/:contactId).
A real-time event notification that can trigger automation when data changes occur in GHL or Rankr.
Automatically pull changes from the GHL Contacts API when a contact is updated in Rankr, keeping all systems in sync without manual work.
Create tasks in GHL based on events in Rankr and track progress in one unified view.
Attach notes and schedule appointments in GHL from Rankr to build a complete contact timeline across platforms.
Generate an API key or OAuth client in GHL and authorize Rankr to access contacts data with the required scopes.
Use the sample endpoints to verify data flow and align field mappings between Rankr and GHL.
Create triggers and actions, enable monitoring, and start your live integration with confidence.
The integration typically uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys to authenticate requests to the GHL API. Ensure the token has the correct scope (for example, contacts.readonly) and store credentials securely. Rotate tokens on a regular schedule and revoke access if a credential is compromised. In Rankr, keep tokens in a secure vault and never expose them in logs or UI. Use testing environments or sandbox endpoints when available to validate access before production use, and follow least-privilege principles to minimize risk.
Start with the core read endpoints to populate and verify data, such as GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks. Once reading is stable, add write-capable endpoints like POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId to sync updates from Rankr to GHL. Use the endpoint list to map fields precisely and test each path individually before chaining into automations.
Yes. The integration can be configured with the contacts.write scope to allow creating and updating contacts, tasks, notes, and more from Rankr. Ensure you grant only the needed permissions for your use case and monitor access logs for unusual activity. If you don’t need write access, stick to the read-only scope to reduce risk.
Before going live, use a staging or test environment to simulate real scenarios. Validate field mappings, triggers, and error handling. Run a few controlled syncs, review logs, and verify data integrity across Rankr and GHL. Once confident, enable the live integration and implement ongoing monitoring.
Yes. You can map custom fields from Rankr to corresponding fields in GHL using the field mapping tools provided by the connector. Ensure consistent data types and formats, and consider including a default value for missing data. Periodically review mappings as your data evolves to avoid drift.
Security best practices include storing tokens securely, rotating credentials regularly, and using least-privilege access. Enable logging and alerting for unusual token usage, implement rate limiting, and review access permissions periodically to comply with your security policies.
Endpoint details, usage examples, and field mappings are available in the integration’s endpoint list and developer docs. Start with the GET endpoints to understand structure, then reference the specific paths like /contacts/:contactId and /contacts/:contactId/tasks to implement your flows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
