Access is scoped to contacts.readonly to protect your data. Use OAuth flows or API keys to grant Rankr the least-privilege access required.
Grant Rankr the requested permissions in your GHL account, then save the integration to enable Visual Visitor data flow.

Trigger: New contact record created in Rankr
Action: Create a corresponding task in GHL using the endpoint POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, title, dueDate, priority
Trigger: Rankr updates contact fields (name, email, phone)
Action: Update contact in GHL with PUT /contacts/:contactId, or add a note via POST /contacts/:contactId/notes
PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, firstName, lastName, email, phone
Trigger: Task moved to completed in Rankr
Action: Mark the related GHL task as completed via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
contactId, taskId, status

This glossary defines core terms and concepts you’ll encounter when integrating Rankr with the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface that enables Rankr and GHL to communicate securely over HTTP.
A person stored in your CRM with associated data like name, email, and phone.
A specific URL path that performs a defined operation in the API.
A callback from GHL to Rankr when events occur, enabling real-time updates.
Automatically generate a starter task in GHL when a new contact is added in Rankr.
Send a weekly summary of new and updated contacts to your team via a note or dashboard widget.
Automatically tag contacts based on status or source to keep your CRM clean.
Complete OAuth or API key setup to grant Rankr access to GHL Contacts data.
Select and map the endpoints you will use, such as POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks for tasks.
Run tests, verify data flow, and set up dashboards for monitoring.
The Visual Visitor integration enables Rankr to read contact data from GHL to power visitor-focused workflows. It provides real-time visibility into contact activity and allows you to surface relevant details in Rankr dashboards. This is ideal for personalizing visuals and automating follow-ups based on contact history. Two-way data movement can be enabled where permitted, so teams stay aligned across Rankr and GHL with minimal setup.
Authentication uses a secure OAuth flow or API keys with restricted scopes. Ensure the integration requests only the contacts.readonly scope for read operations unless you explicitly require write access. Store tokens securely and refresh them as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.
Available endpoints include retrieving contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments, as well as creating and updating tasks and notes. Permissions must match the action, such as GET for reads and POST/PUT/DELETE for writes. Start with read-only access and expand permissions only as your use case requires.
Writing data is possible when the integration is granted write permissions (contacts.write). If you primarily need viewing capabilities, keep to the readonly scope. When enabled, Rankr can create or update contacts, tasks, notes, and tags in GHL.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan and API usage. Plan for bursts during onboarding and implement retries with exponential backoff. Monitor usage via API headers and adjust integration requests if you approach the limit.
No heavy coding is required. The visual workflow leverages Zapier-like automations and API endpoints that can be wired together with no-code connectors. Basic understanding of endpoints and payloads helps, but a developer is not strictly required.
Yes. You can integrate Rankr with Zapier or other automation platforms by configuring webhooks and actions to call the GHL API endpoints. This opens up a wide range of automation patterns beyond the native Visual Visitor setup.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
