Authenticate API calls with a token issued by the GHL developer portal. Include the token in the Authorization header as a Bearer value and scope your requests to contacts.readonly.
Register Rankr as an app in GHL to obtain client credentials or an API key. Use OAuth 2.0 where supported, rotate tokens regularly, and store credentials securely.
Here are the most relevant endpoints for a typical integration: – GET /contacts/:contactId — Retrieve a contact’s details – GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks — List a contact’s tasks – 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 — Retrieve a contact’s appointments – GET /contacts/ — List all contacts – GET /contacts/business/:businessId — List contacts for a business – POST /contacts/ — Create a contact – PUT /contacts/:contactId — Update a contact – DELETE /contacts/:contactId — Delete a contact – POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks — Create a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Update a task – PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed — Mark a task complete – DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId — Delete a task – POST /contacts/:contactId/tags — Assign tags
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in GHL to keep Rankr records current.
Create or update the corresponding contact in Rankr and sync related data like tasks and notes as needed.
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, email, phone
When a task is created or updated in GHL, trigger a task record in Rankr.
Create or update tasks in Rankr; propagate status and due dates across systems.
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status
On note creation or update in GHL, sync notes to Rankr.
Attach notes to the related Rankr contact and surface key notes in dashboards.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, id
Fast setup with point-and-click configuration—no custom code required.
A single source of truth across GHL and Rankr for consistent reporting and automation.
Scalable workflows that grow with your business.
Key terms and processes: endpoints, triggers, actions, and data fields used by the GHL Contacts API integration with Rankr.
A specific URL path provided by the API that performs a function, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
The method by which clients prove they have access to the API, typically via tokens or API keys.
A short-lived credential used to authorize API requests, usually obtained via an OAuth flow.
An HTTP callback that notifies Rankr of events in GHL so you can sync data in real time.
Automatically propagate contact stage changes from GHL into Rankr to keep records current.
Create and align tasks between GHL and Rankr to streamline teamwork.
Attach key notes from GHL to Rankr records to enhance context and decisions.
Register your app in the GHL developer portal and generate an API key or OAuth credentials.
Set base URL, scopes (contacts.readonly), and authorize requests with your token.
Run test calls, verify data synchronization, set up alerts.
GHL API authentication typically uses a Bearer token issued from the GHL developer portal. Include the token in the Authorization header and request the appropriate scopes for your app (e.g., contacts.readonly). For added security, never expose tokens in client-side code and rotate credentials regularly. In practice, you’ll keep your access token in a secure server environment and pass it with each API call. Use error handling to manage expired tokens and implement token refresh flows where supported.
The Contacts API includes endpoints for retrieving and managing contacts, tasks, notes, and basic related resources. Examples: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/ and POST /contacts/ to create new records. Review the official endpoint list to confirm which endpoints your integration requires and which are read-only vs. write-enabled.
Yes. You can sync notes and tasks between GHL and Rankr by wiring the corresponding endpoints and triggers into your automation. For example, when a GHL task is updated, update the matching Rankr task, and when a note is added in GHL, attach it to the linked Rankr contact. Consider scheduling or event-driven sync to keep both systems in sync and visible in dashboards.
No heavy coding is required for a basic integration. Many automation platforms and the Rankr app connector can handle authentication, endpoint calls, and data mapping with point-and-click configuration. If custom mapping is needed, light scripting or a middleware layer can help but is not mandatory.
The typical required scope for read-only access is contacts.readonly. Depending on your workflow, you may also request additional scopes for write access when you need to create or update contacts or tasks. Always request the minimum scope necessary and scope down when possible.
Start by testing with a small dataset. Use sandbox or test endpoints if available, validate that data maps correctly (contactId, IDs for tasks and notes), and monitor responses and errors. Enable alerts to catch failures early and adjust mappings as needed.
Endpoint responses can be viewed in your integration platform’s logs or directly via the API responses returned from the GHL endpoints. For debugging, log response bodies, status codes, and any error messages. Use webhooks to monitor real-time changes when supported.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
