Authenticate API calls with your GHL credentials. Use a Bearer token obtained via OAuth 2.0 or a dedicated API key, and ensure the access scope is set to read-only for contacts data.
Ruler Analytics authenticates to GHL using OAuth 2.0 client credentials or an API key. Tokens should be scoped to read contact data (contacts.readonly) and rotated regularly for security.
Representative endpoints include: Read actions such as GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments, and GET /contacts/ as well as GET /contacts/business/:businessId. Write and modify actions include 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, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Trigger: when a contact is updated in GHL, fetch the latest contact, tasks, and notes and push to Ruler Analytics.
Actions: pull contact data via GET /contacts/:contactId, pull tasks via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, pull notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and update Ruler Analytics records accordingly.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints (tasks, notes, appointments) used in a single sync.
Key fields: contactId, name, email, phone, lastModified
Trigger: on a schedule (daily or weekly) export all active contacts.
Actions: retrieve GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId to assemble a full dataset for reporting and dashboards in Ruler Analytics.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/ and GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, businessId, email
Trigger: when new notes or appointments are created in GHL.
Actions: pull notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and appointments via GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments to enrich timelines in Ruler Analytics.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
Key fields: noteId, appointmentId, timestamp

You can authenticate using a secure Bearer token obtained via OAuth 2.0 or an API key, with the scope set to read-only for contacts data. Ensure tokens are kept secure and rotated regularly. If you use OAuth, grant the least privileged scope necessary for your tasks.
The Contacts API allows reading contact records, associated tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as basic business data linked to contacts. Creation and modification endpoints exist for managing contacts and tasks if your workflow requires it.
Sync frequency depends on your plan and API limits. Typical schedules range from every 15 minutes to hourly. Use webhooks or change data capture if supported for near real-time updates.
No custom code is required for basic reads and syncing. A no-code integration builder or app configuration will usually suffice. For advanced workflows, you can use scripting in Ruler Analytics if available.
Be mindful of rate limits. Implement exponential backoff and retries, and batch requests when possible to stay within quotas.
The endpoint details and references are shown within this page. You can copy the exact paths from the sections above to configure your connection.
Webhooks are sometimes supported for event-driven syncing. If not, schedule-based syncing can still provide timely updates.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
