Use OAuth 2.0 to authorize Rankr to access Contacts data via the GHL API. Keep tokens secure, rotate credentials regularly, and follow best practices for token storage.
Rankr uses standard OAuth tokens and API keys to securely access the Contacts API. Never expose sensitive credentials in client-side code, and store them in a secure vault.
GET /contacts/:contactId – Retrieve a single contact GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks – List tasks for a contact 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 – Get appointments for a contact GET /contacts/ – List all contacts GET /contacts/business/:businessId – List contacts for a business contacts.write – Permission to write POST /contacts/ – Create a new contact PUT /contacts/:contactId – Update a contact DELETE /contacts/:contactId – Delete a contact POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks – Create a new task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Update a task PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed – Mark a task completed DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId – Delete a task POST /contacts/:contactId/tags – Add tags to a contact
Trigger: When a contact is updated in Rankr, pull the latest data from GET /contacts/:contactId
Actions: Update the Rankr contact record with data from the API, attach notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, and refresh dependent automations
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, updatedAt, firstName, lastName, email
Trigger: New contact created in Rankr; push with POST /contacts/
Actions: Map fields from Rankr to API and assign initial tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags; optionally create a starter note
POST /contacts/
name, email, phone, createdAt
Trigger: A task is updated in the API; call PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to sync status
Actions: Update task status in Rankr, close or reopen tasks, and log completion details
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, status, completedAt
No-code data sync: keep contact records aligned across Rankr and the API without custom programming.
Real-time updates: changes propagate to connected automations instantly.
Scalability: add more endpoints and workflows as your needs grow.
Key elements include API endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions, and data mappings. Processes cover data sync, error handling, and rate limits between Rankr and the Contacts API.
A defined URL that lets you perform a specific action (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) against a resource in the Contacts API.
A callback URL configured to receive real-time updates from the API when events occur.
The method of proving identity and permission to access the API, typically via OAuth tokens or API keys.
The process of aligning API data fields with Rankr fields to ensure consistent data flow.
Use POST /contacts/ to create new contacts from Rankr, then add a starter note with POST /contacts/:contactId/notes to welcome the new contact.
Automatically create tasks on contact events (GET/PUT endpoints) and route follow-ups through Rankr automations.
Tag contacts in Rankr based on activity using POST /contacts/:contactId/tags to maintain segmentation in your CRM.
Obtain your GHL API credentials and configure Rankr to use them securely. Store credentials in a safe vault.
Define which Rankr fields map to which API endpoints and set up triggers (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId) and actions (e.g., POST /contacts/).
Run tests in a sandbox, verify data integrity, handle error responses, and deploy to production.
No-code options exist for many common workflows. Rankr provides pre-built automations and trigger-action flows that use the Contacts API under the hood. You can set up syncing and updates without writing code by configuring webhooks and field mappings.
Yes. The contacts.readonly scope allows reading contact data from the API. You can fetch contact records, tasks, notes, and related data as needed. If you need to modify data, you’ll require additional scopes and permissions.
The best endpoints for syncing are GET /contacts/:contactId to read, POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to monitor tasks. Use tags via POST /contacts/:contactId/tags for segmentation.
Implement robust error handling and retry logic. Respect rate limits, exponent backoff, and log failures. Use status codes and error messages to guide remediation and alerting.
Security best practices include using server-side credential storage, rotating tokens, and never exposing secrets in client code. Use a secure vault or secret manager in Rankr to manage credentials.
Test in a sandbox environment. Validate data mappings with sample records, run end-to-end test flows, and verify that updates propagate correctly before going live.
Endpoint paths are listed in the Endpoint List section. You can copy the exact paths (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to configure automations in Rankr.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
