Use your GHL API key to authorize requests (Bearer token). The recommended scope for trustedForm reads is contacts.readonly. Keep keys secure and rotate them regularly.
Store your API credentials securely in Rankr (environment variables or secret vault). Use token-based auth to communicate with GHL, and never expose keys in client-side code.
The following GHL Contacts API endpoints are commonly used in TrustedForm workflows: 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, 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: a new TrustedForm submission creates or updates a contact in Rankr; then pull the contact data via GET /contacts/:contactId.
Actions: retrieve related tasks with GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and attach them to the Rankr record; also pull notes with GET /contacts/:contactId/notes for context.
Representative API calls: GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields to map: contactId, taskId, noteId, businessId
Trigger: when a contact updates, pull latest notes via GET /contacts/:contactId/notes and appointments via GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments.
Actions: update Rankr with notes and appointments; optionally create tasks via POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks as needed.
Calls: GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments
contactId, id (noteId), appointmentId
Trigger: daily scheduled sync to batch update Rankr records from GET /contacts/ (list) data.
Actions: apply tags with POST /contacts/:contactId/tags and update statuses; batch-create or update tasks as needed.
Calls: GET /contacts/, POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
contactId, tags
Drag-and-drop automation connects the GHL Contacts API with Rankr without writing code.
Auto-synced data across systems keeps records current and reduces manual entry.
Scalable workflows that grow with your contact data without custom development.
Key elements include endpoints, authentication, triggers, and actions. Processes cover field mapping, testing, and deployment to production.
A specific URL path you call to perform an action against the GHL API, such as GET /contacts/:contactId.
The method by which you prove identity to access the API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
A lightweight HTTP callback sent when a specified event occurs, enabling real-time updates.
The practice of aligning fields between systems so data flows correctly (e.g., mapping contactId to ID).
Push updates from GHL to Rankr instantly when a contact record changes.
Auto-apply tags in Rankr by scanning notes for keywords and phrases.
Daily backups of contacts and tasks to a centralized data store.
Collect your GHL API key, ensure scope aligns with contacts.readonly, and prepare Rankr for API access.
Enter endpoint paths such as GET /contacts/:contactId and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and set up field mappings.
Run tests with a sample contactId, validate data flow, and deploy to production once verified.
Access requires the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly) and valid API credentials. Use your GHL API key in the Authorization header. If you need higher permission levels, consult your developer for expanded scopes and ensure you follow security best practices.
Rankr stores API credentials securely and uses the GHL API key to generate Bearer tokens. Requests include Authorization: Bearer
Yes. You can use GET for reads like /contacts/:contactId and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; POST /contacts/ to create; PUT /contacts/:contactId to update; and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. Ensure intended permissions and rate limits are respected.
Yes. Use POST /contacts/ to create, PUT /contacts/:contactId to update, and PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId to modify task status. Handle responses and errors accordingly.
Respect API rate limits and implement exponential backoff. Check status codes and retry after a delay. Use webhooks for real-time updates to reduce polling.
Common mapped fields include contactId, name, email, phone, notes, and tasks. In Rankr, map these fields to your internal records to ensure consistency across systems.
Yes. Rankr supports no-code automation to connect the GHL Contacts API through pre-built actions, triggers, and mappings, enabling you to automate data flow without writing code.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
