To securely access the Contacts API, you’ll use OAuth 2.0 and an API key generated in your GHL developer console. Ensure the app has the scope ‘contacts.readonly’.
In Rankr, connect your GHL account by selecting the Contacts API from the app library and granting permissions. Use the same OAuth token to authenticate requests.
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 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 updated in GHL, Rankr creates or updates the corresponding record.
Actions: sync name, email, phone, and associated tasks to Rankr; optionally create a new record if missing.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone
Trigger: updates to tasks or notes in GHL propagate to Rankr.
Actions: map tasks and notes to Rankr tasks and notes records; maintain status and due dates.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger: new tags added in GHL update Rankr contact tags.
Actions: apply tags in Rankr, enable segmentation and workflows.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tag
Benefit 1: Build automations with no-code workflows using Rankr’s visual editor and the Zapier App Connector.
Benefit 2: Rapid onboarding with clear endpoint definitions and scopes for quick setup.
Benefit 3: Real-time data sync across Rankr and GHL, reducing manual updates and errors.
Definitions of common elements: endpoints, triggers, actions, and mappings for Rankr and GHL.
A specific URL path and HTTP method that performs an action on the GHL API.
A user-defined callback URL that receives real-time updates from GHL when an event occurs.
Standard protocol for authorizing access to the GHL API without exposing user credentials.
The process of aligning fields between GHL and Rankr so data flows correctly.
Stream updates to Rankr whenever a contact changes status in GHL to keep your team aligned.
Automatically assign tags in Rankr based on GHL notes, tasks, or business associations.
Create Rankr tasks from GHL activity to drive follow-ups without lifting a finger.
Register your application in GHL and obtain client ID and secret, then configure in Rankr.
Map GHL fields to Rankr fields for seamless data transfer and ensure scopes include contacts.readonly.
Run a test sync, verify data accuracy, and then enable live automation in Rankr.
The Contacts API lets you read and manage contact data. You can fetch details, tasks, notes, and more. Use the endpoints shown to build automations with Rankr. Ensure your app requests the proper scopes to access the data you need. You can also leverage webhooks and real-time updates to keep Rankr in sync with GHL changes.
OAuth is commonly used to authorize access to GHL endpoints without sharing credentials. You’ll obtain tokens through the GHL developer console and attach them to Rankr requests. Rotate tokens regularly for security.
Common endpoints for sync include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags. Accurate data mapping between GHL and Rankr is essential for reliable automation.
To map fields, align contact properties (name, email, phone, tags) between GHL and Rankr. Use transformation rules and format converters if needed.
Yes. You can build no-code automations using the Rankr workflow builder and the Zapier App Connector to connect GHL and Rankr without custom coding.
Security is handled via OAuth tokens and scoped access. Keep scope limited to what you need (e.g., contacts.readonly) and store tokens securely.
Test the integration with sandbox data, verify mapping, then deploy to production with live data.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
