Choose API key or OAuth to authorize Rankr’s requests to the GHL Contacts API. Scope used here is contacts.readonly for read-only timing checks.
Register Rankr as a GHL app, obtain client credentials, and grant appropriate scopes. Store tokens securely and rotate as needed.
Key endpoints used in Timing: – 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: Secure server-to-server calls from Rankr to GHL on timing events.
Actions: fetch contact data, update tasks, and log notes as needed.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId (example for retrieving a contact) and related endpoints listed above.
Key fields: contactId, email, timestamp
Trigger: tokens refreshed automatically to keep Rankr in sync with GHL data.
Actions: read and update contact records, fetch tasks and notes as needed.
Method path: use GET /contacts/:contactId and related endpoints; manage access with access_token.
Key fields: contactId, scopes, access_token
Trigger: GHL events pushed to Rankr when a contact is updated or a related item changes.
Actions: update Rankr records, trigger automation, and maintain a consistent timeline.
Method path: configure a webhook endpoint in Rankr to receive event payloads from GHL.
Key fields: event_type, contactId, timestamp
Build powerful integrations without writing code using guided setup and prebuilt endpoints.
Achieve fast, reliable data flow between GHL and Rankr with retries and logging baked in.
View and analyze a unified contact timeline in Rankr, including tasks, notes and appointments.
This glossary defines common terms you’ll encounter when wiring GHL to Rankr for the Contacts API, including endpoints, authentication, and data fields.
A defined set of endpoints you can call to read or modify data in a system.
A specific URL in an API that performs an action, such as retrieving a contact.
A standard for secure delegated access to APIs using tokens.
A callback mechanism where a server notifies another system of events in real time.
Use GHL GET endpoints to pull enriched fields into Rankr and keep contact profiles up to date.
Trigger GHL tasks from Rankr events and sync status back to Rankr tasks for a unified workflow.
Sync notes and activity history between systems to build a complete contact timeline.
Create OAuth credentials or an API key; specify scopes such as contacts.readonly.
Enter the endpoint URLs listed above and set authentication headers in Rankr.
Run test requests, verify responses, and set up monitoring and retry rules.
Authenticate calls with either an API key or OAuth 2.0 tokens, choosing the method that fits your security posture. For server-to-server timing workflows, API keys are simple and reliable; for end-user delegated access, OAuth 2.0 is recommended. Always scope to the needed access, starting with contacts.readonly for timing checks.
Yes. The GET endpoints retrieve contact data, while POST and PUT endpoints modify data within the allowed scopes. Use POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and DELETE /contacts/:contactId where permitted. Ensure your app has the necessary write permissions in GHL and Rankr mappings in place.
Handle errors with standard HTTP status codes and structured error messages. Implement retries with exponential backoff and respect rate limits indicated in response headers. Monitor logs to detect patterns and adjust request cadence as needed.
Many GHL plans provide API access, but rate limits and feature availability vary by tier. Check your plan’s API access and quota; if needed, upgrade. Rankr can operate against a sandbox or lower-rate environment before going live.
Real-time syncing is supported via webhooks. Configure a webhook endpoint in Rankr to receive event payloads from GHL and update Rankr records accordingly.
Rankr can map GHL fields to Rankr fields and support field-level transformations. You may need to define custom mappings or use transformation rules to align data structures between systems.
API credentials are accessible in the GHL developer console. Generate and manage client credentials or API keys there, then securely store them in Rankr. Review token lifetimes and rotation requirements regularly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
