Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to code to connect Rankr with the Contacts API?

No coding is required to start basic integrations. Rankr provides pre built connectors and step by step guides to set up common automation. For advanced flows, you can extend with simple scripts or use middleware.

The available endpoints include creating, reading, updating, and deleting contacts, managing tasks and notes, and tagging contacts. See the endpoint list for the full set and how they map to broadcasts.

Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 or API keys. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials periodically, and follow least privilege access to minimize risk.

Yes. You can trigger Rankr broadcasts in response to API events such as new contact creation or task completion. Webhooks can fire these events in real time.

Respect the API rate limits by batching requests when possible and using exponential backoff on errors. Configure retry rules in Rankr to avoid overloading the API.

Webhooks are supported to push updates from the Contacts API to Rankr, enabling timely automation without polling.

Test in a staging environment using sandbox data, verify token scopes, verify end to end flows, and monitor logs for any errors before going live.
