Use API tokens or OAuth 2.0 to authenticate requests. Keep credentials secure, rotate them regularly, and apply the correct scope (contacts.readonly by default) to control access.
Rankr uses OAuth 2.0 for user authorization and API tokens for service to service connections. Store tokens securely and implement token refresh workflows to maintain uninterrupted access.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to list tasks, POST /contacts/ to create contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId to remove a contact. Additional endpoints cover notes, appointments, and tag management.
Trigger: When a new contact is added in Rankr, fetch full profile from the Contacts API.
Actions: create or update the Rankr contact, pull associated notes and tasks, attach tags as needed.
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key Fields: contactId, businessId, owner
Trigger: status change on a contact task in GHL
Actions: create or update task in Rankr, reflect completion status, link to contact
Method Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key Fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: new note in GHL for a contact
Actions: sync notes to Rankr, apply tags for segmentation
Method Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id
Key Fields: contactId, noteId, tagIds
Streamlined contact management without manual data entry.
Real-time data sync keeps teams aligned and reduces delays.
Automations reduce repetitive tasks and errors across teams.
A concise glossary of each element and process used in this integration.
A specific URL path that performs a discrete function in the GHL Contacts API.
Authorization framework used to grant limited access to user data without sharing credentials.
A user-defined callback URL that receives real-time updates from GHL when events occur.
A unique string used to authenticate API requests securely.
Automatically pull supplementary data from external sources to enrich Rankr contact records via the Contacts API.
Create cross-app task workflows that sync between GHL and Rankr for faster follow-ups.
Tag and segment contacts based on note content retrieved from the API.
Obtain a secure API token from the GHL developer console and store it safely in Rankr.
Set appropriate webhooks and OAuth scopes (contacts.readonly by default) to control data access.
Run end-to-end tests and monitor logs after deployment to ensure data flows correctly.
The GHL Contacts API lets you read and write contact data programmatically. This page shows how to connect Rankr to the API and keep data in sync. Use your API token and webhooks to securely access and manage contacts, tasks, notes, and more. Rankr handles authentication, request formatting, and error handling for a smooth integration.
We support API tokens for service-to-service connections and OAuth 2.0 for user-based access. Use tokens for automated tasks and OAuth when a user needs to authorize actions. Always store credentials securely and rotate them periodically.
Common endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId for details, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks, and POST /contacts/ to create new contacts. For syncing, PUT and DELETE endpoints help keep data current and clean.
To test, use a sandbox or staging environment, trigger sample events, and verify data appears in Rankr. Check logs and webhook deliveries to ensure reliable connectivity.
Webhooks are recommended for real-time updates. They provide low-latency event delivery and help keep Rankr data fresh without polling the API constantly.
GHL imposes rate limits on API calls. Plan requests accordingly, implement exponential backoff, and monitor usage to stay within quotas.
You can sync contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and tags. The API endpoints provide the data you need to build rich, connected records in Rankr.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
