To authenticate your connection you will need API credentials or an OAuth token for the Contacts API. Use the credentials to grant Rankr the appropriate permissions to read and, if required, write contact data.
Configure OAuth or API keys within Rankr to allow the GHL Contacts API to push and pull contact data. Ensure the permissions match your intended use such as reading contacts and creating or updating records.
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 to notify GHL and upsert the contact data
Actions include creating or updating the contact in GHL using POST or PUT and syncing related items like tasks and notes
Method path examples: POST /contacts for new leads; PUT /contacts/:contactId for updates
Key fields to map include id, email, firstName, lastName, phone
Trigger updates from either side to keep data in sync
Push changes to both systems and resolve conflicts using last modified timestamps
Fetch with GET /contacts/:contactId and push with PUT /contacts/:contactId
Key fields for synchronization include id, last_modified, email
Trigger a test run when deploying new changes to the integration
Use staging endpoints to clone production data, run test scenarios and verify results before going live
Staged deployment using /staging or /sandbox paths for test data
Test specific fields such as testFlag and testContactId
Automations and data pipelines can be built without writing code using ready made triggers and actions
Faster time to value with pre built endpoints and data mappings
Scalable connections across contacts tasks notes and appointments without custom development
This section defines core data elements such as contacts tasks notes and appointments and outlines the processes used to synchronize them between GHL and Rankr
A set of rules and methods that allow software components to communicate
A specific URL in an API where a particular operation is performed
A mechanism for real time callbacks from one app to another when events occur
A standard for secure delegated access to resources between applications
Pull data from external sources to fill missing fields during sync
Create tasks in GHL when Rankr detects updates and link them to the contact record
Build dashboards that show activity across endpoints and data stages
Register API access in GHL and generate keys or an OAuth client then save them in Rankr
Map Rankr contact fields to GHL fields such as email name and phone and configure endpoints for tasks notes and appointments
Run staging tests verify data flow and then enable live operation with monitoring
The Contacts API scope defined for this integration primarily enables read access to contact data such as contact details tasks notes and appointments. This means you can retrieve information for display reporting and triggering workflows. If you need to create or update contacts you will need the contacts.write permission or a broader scope enabled by your API plan. Always follow the principle of least privilege.
Security is achieved through standard API authentication methods such as API keys or OAuth tokens. Connections should use HTTPS and rotate credentials regularly. Rankr can store credentials securely and only use them to access the GHL Contacts API when needed. Access can be scoped to specific resources to minimize risk.
Yes you can read and write if your credentials grant both read and write permissions. When enabling write operations map data carefully to avoid overwriting existing records unintentionally. Use staging or test environments to validate write operations before live deployment.
Real time updates are possible through webhooks or polling depending on your needs. Webhooks allow GHL to notify Rankr of changes and Rankr can push updates back to GHL. Ensure webhook endpoints are secured and validated to prevent unauthorized callbacks.
If a conflict occurs Rankr and GHL can use a last modified timestamp or version numbers to determine which side has the latest changes. You can implement a conflict resolution policy such as prefer Rankr over GHL for certain fields or require human review for critical fields.
For more resources refer to the Rankr documentation and the GHL API reference. If you need deeper guidance you can contact support or access developer resources provided in your account.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
