Use OAuth 2.0 to obtain an access token with the contacts.readonly scope to securely call endpoints.
Grant the Rankr app the required scope (contacts.readonly) in your GHL developer settings to enable read-only access.
Core endpoints include: 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. Write actions include: contacts.write, 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 or synchronized in GHL, fetch data and update Rankr in real time.
Actions: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to pull information and mirror it in Rankr.
Method/Path: GET /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, name, email, taskId, taskName
Trigger: a note is added or updated in GHL
Actions: PUT /contacts/:contactId to update core data; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to add tasks
Method/Path: PUT /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, notes content, tasks list
Trigger: tag changes in GHL
Method/Path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Key fields: contactId, tag(s)
No‑code automation: build workflows without writing code.
Real‑time data sync between GHL and Rankr.
Prebuilt endpoints reduce setup time and complexity.
This glossary defines data elements and processes used in the integration of the Contacts API with Rankr.
A person record in your CRM that can be retrieved, updated, or linked to tasks, notes, and tags.
A unit of work linked to a contact, such as a follow‑up or reminder.
A free‑form comment attached to a contact, used for context and history.
A label used to categorize contacts for segmentation and automation.
When a new contact is added in GHL, automatically create a starter task in Rankr using the Tasks endpoints to keep teams aligned.
Apply lifecycle tags via the tags endpoint when a contact changes stage to keep segmentation up to date.
Pull notes and attach a concise summary to the contact profile in Rankr for quick context.
Obtain an access token with the proper scope (contacts.readonly) via the OAuth flow.
Call GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints to verify data retrieval and permissions.
Set up Rankr automations to trigger on changes and keep data synchronized.
The API scope defines what your app can do. For Swipe One with Rankr, use the contacts.readonly scope to retrieve contact data without making changes. If you later need to update data, request a broader scope (such as contacts.write) following your platform’s review process. Always start with the minimum permissions needed. The Rankr integration is designed to respect these scopes and operate within them. You can revoke access at any time from your GHL developer settings.
No code is required to get started thanks to Rankr’s built-in connectors and the documented endpoints. However, for custom workflows or advanced logic, you can add your own automations or use webhooks to tailor behavior. Start with the prebuilt patterns and expand as your needs grow.
Essential Swipe One endpoints include reading a contact and related tasks, notes, and appointments. For updates, use the PUT and POST variants to modify contacts, tasks, notes, and tags. Having a clear map of read endpoints first helps you validate data structure before enabling writes.
Use a test or sandbox environment if available. Call endpoints with a known test contactId and inspect HTTP status codes and response payloads. Validate authentication tokens, scopes, and rate limits. Log responses to verify that the data matches expectations before moving to production.
Yes. The API supports updating a contact via PUT /contacts/:contactId and similar write endpoints for tasks, notes, and tags. Ensure your access token has the appropriate write scope and perform updates in a controlled, testable manner to avoid data loss. Always back up important data before bulk updates.
Errors are returned as standard HTTP status codes with a JSON body detailing the issue. Common codes include 400 for bad requests, 401 for authentication, and 403 for insufficient permissions. Use the error codes and messages to adjust requests, refresh tokens, or request additional scopes as needed.
To disconnect, revoke the OAuth token and remove the integration in your GHL app settings. If you are using webhooks or external callbacks, ensure those endpoints are deactivated. Re-authenticate only if you need to re-establish the connection with proper permissions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
