Use token-based authentication or OAuth 2.0; ensure the requested scope is contacts.readonly.
In Rankr, create or select your app credentials and grant the necessary scopes so the app can read contact data from GHL.
Endpoints covered: 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 opened in Rankr, pull the latest tasks from GHL via GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks.
Actions: Retrieve tasks, create or update tasks, and mark them as completed using POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId.
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status, dueDate
Trigger: Update a contact’s notes in Rankr when notes change in GHL (GET /contacts/:contactId/notes).
Actions: Read and write notes using GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes.
Method Path: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, id, notesContent, createdAt
Trigger: When a tag or business is updated in GHL, reflect it in Rankr via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags.
Actions: Attach tags using POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and view business data with GET /contacts/business/:businessId.
Method Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: contactId, tagName, businessId
Benefit: Faster setup with no custom code required.
Benefit: Real-time data synchronization between Rankr and GHL.
Benefit: Scalable workflows through API-driven automations.
This glossary defines core terms and the processes used to connect Rankr with the GHL Contacts API.
An Application Programming Interface that lets Rankr access Contacts data from GHL.
An authorization framework that enables secure access to user data without sharing passwords.
A specific URL path in an API that performs an action on data.
A callback channel that notifies Rankr of events in real time.
Automatically generate onboarding tasks in Rankr when a new contact is created in GHL via the Contacts API.
Sync notes to Rankr to keep a complete notes history attached to each contact.
Tag contacts in GHL and reflect those tags in Rankr to drive targeted automations.
In GHL, generate an API key or OAuth client and note the client ID and secret.
Grant the required scope, for example contacts.readonly, to your Rankr app.
Use a test call like GET /contacts/:contactId to validate data flow.
You authenticate using OAuth 2.0 and obtain a token with the required scope. Use the token in each API call. Store credentials securely and rotate tokens regularly.
Read operations include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments. These calls let you pull up-to-date data for display in Rankr. For write operations, ensure your app has the appropriate scopes.
Yes, you can update tasks and notes using PUT and POST endpoints. Ensure your app has write access and test changes in a staging environment before going live. Mapping changes to Rankr should be validated.
No heavy coding is required—use standard REST API calls or integration tools like Zapier. The provided endpoints are designed for straightforward use with common automation platforms.
Test the connection by making a few sample requests (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId). Verify authentication headers, response status, and data mapping to Rankr fields.
Data can sync in real time via webhooks or on a scheduled cadence. Choose a method that fits your workflow and monitor for any delays or failures.
API documentation and endpoint references are available in the developer portal. You can also reference example payloads and sample requests to guide your implementation.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
