Authenticate API requests with your GHL developer credentials. Use OAuth 2.0 tokens or an API key as configured in your GHL developer settings. Always pass the token in the Authorization header and rotate credentials regularly for security.
In Rankr, store your GHL credentials securely within the integration settings. Use environment-safe storage and authorize Rankr to call the Contacts API on your behalf. Test credentials in a sandbox before going live.
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
When a new contact is created or updated in Rankr
Use GET /contacts/:contactId to fetch details and then enrich with notes or tasks
GET /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, phone
When a contact reaches a milestone or changes status
Use GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks and GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to mirror activity
GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
contactId, taskId, notesId, status
Trigger on form submissions or lead qualification
Use POST /contacts/ and PUT /contacts/:contactId to create or update records
POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId
contactId, name, email, status
Automate data flow between GHL and Rankr without writing code by using the built-in connectors and triggers.
Keep contact records consistent across systems, reducing manual updates and errors.
Rapidly deploy new automations with ready-to-use endpoint templates for common tasks.
Understand the essential API concepts and how they apply when connecting GHL Contacts API to Rankr. This glossary covers authentication, endpoints, and data flow.
A set of credentials and permissions that allow Rankr to access GHL resources on your behalf.
A specific API path you call to perform an action, such as retrieving a contact or updating a task.
A secure token used to authorize API requests, often short-lived and scoped to particular permissions.
The maximum number of API requests allowed in a given time window to prevent overuse and ensure service stability.
Pull external data to complete contact records and keep your CRM up to date without manual entry.
Automatically create follow-up tasks when a contact meets predefined criteria to stay proactive.
Keep activity history in sync across GHL and Rankr for complete context.
Obtain your GHL API credentials from the developer console and securely store them in Rankr.
Enable the required endpoints (as listed above) in Rankr’s integration settings and map fields accordingly.
Run test requests to verify data flows, address errors, then deploy to production with monitoring.
Yes—depending on your plan, you may need a developer account to enable API access. If you already use GHL, you can generate an API key in your developer settings. Rankr will consume that key to securely access the Contacts API. Always store credentials securely and rotate keys periodically. This setup lets you automate data flow without constant manual input. Two short paragraphs explaining how to obtain and store credentials and the importance of credential security.
Most common work happens with GET /contacts/:contactId to retrieve a single contact, and GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks or GET /contacts/:contactId/notes to surface related activities. For updates, use PUT /contacts/:contactId or POST /contacts/ to create new records. These endpoints cover the core data you’ll sync between GHL and Rankr.
Yes. Rankr offers no-code integration options via built-in connectors and templated workflows. You can configure triggers, actions, and field mappings without writing code. For advanced needs, you can extend functionality with custom endpoints and conditional logic.
Authentication typically uses OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys passed in the Authorization header. In Rankr, securely store tokens and rotate them on a schedule. Always validate token scopes to ensure only the required permissions are active for your workflows.
GHL imposes rate limits on API requests. Plan your automation to respect these limits, batch requests when possible, and implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient errors gracefully.
Yes. You can update contact details via PUT /contacts/:contactId or create new contacts with POST /contacts/. Deleting is possible with DELETE /contacts/:contactId. Always confirm data changes in Rankr before pushing to GHL to avoid data loss.
To disconnect, remove the GHL integration from Rankr’s settings, revoke the API key or token, and verify that no data flows remain. If you plan to reconnect later, you can re-enter credentials and re-map fields.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
