Register your Rankr app and obtain client ID and client secret for the Contacts API.
Set scopes to read-only or read/write as needed (scope: contacts.readonly by default).
Test the integration using sandbox data, then go live with monitoring and alerting.
The Contacts API provides access to contact data, tasks, notes, and appointments in GHL. It enables programmatic read and write operations to keep your CRM up to date. This section explains how Rankr uses these endpoints to automate workflows without code.
No extensive coding is required thanks to no-code connectors and visual builders. You can configure triggers, actions, and mappings within Rankr. For advanced scenarios, you can supplement with custom scripts if your plan supports it.
Essential endpoints typically include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. Depending on your workflow, you can also fetch notes or tasks and filter by businessId. The goal is to cover the core data needed for your processes.
Authentication uses OAuth or API keys. You’ll configure client credentials in Rankr and request the right scopes. Always keep credentials secure and rotate keys regularly.
You can sync contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, with read or write permissions. Mapping fields such as email, phone, and status ensures data consistency across systems.
Handle errors with standard HTTP status codes and built-in retries. Use backoff strategies for rate limits and monitor logs with alerts. Test thoroughly before going live.
Yes. You can customize triggers and actions based on events in Rankr and the Contacts API. Advanced users can chain multiple steps and conditional logic to create robust workflows.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
