Access is controlled through the GHL authentication flow. Use your API key or OAuth token with the scope locations/customValues.readonly. Keep credentials secure, rotate secrets regularly, and test credentials in a sandbox before going live.
Rankr authenticates requests by appending a bearer token in the Authorization header. Use your Rankr client credentials, ensure the proper scopes for reading and writing custom values, and store tokens securely.
Core endpoints include GET /locations/:locationId/customValues, GET /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, POST /locations/:locationId/customValues, PUT /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customValues; endpoints for fields include GET /locations/:locationId/customFields, GET /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, POST /locations/:locationId/customFields, PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customFields; support endpoints include GET /custom-fields/:id, GET /custom-field/object-key/:key; tag related endpoint GET /locations/:locationId/tags; and the write endpoints locations/customValues.write and locations/customFields.write.
Trigger: When location data updates in Rankr, fetch the latest custom values from the Custom Fields API.
Actions: Retrieve custom values via GET endpoints, map fields to Rankr, and store results as needed.
Example method path: GET /locations/:locationId/customValues
Key fields: locationId, id, value, updatedAt
Trigger: When Rankr collects new values that should be written to GHL.
Actions: Create or update custom values using POST /locations/:locationId/customValues and PUT as needed.
Method path: POST /locations/:locationId/customValues
Key fields: locationId, value, id
Trigger: When you need to define or modify custom field schemas.
Actions: Create, update, or delete custom fields via endpoints 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 and map to Rankr accordingly.
Endpoints: GET /locations/:locationId/customFields, POST /locations/:locationId/customFields, PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id, DELETE /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id
Key fields: locationId, id, fieldKey, fieldLabel
Automate data flow between GHL and Rankr without writing code using visual builders and templates.
Standardize field definitions, mappings, and workflows to reduce errors and speed up deployments.
Scale operations with reusable templates, triggers, and dashboards that require no custom code.
This glossary defines core terms used across the integration: API Endpoint, Authentication, Payload, Webhook, the list of endpoints, steps to connect, and the no code benefits.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action on an API.
Process of verifying identity to allow access to resources.
The data sent with an API request.
A mechanism for an API to push real time data to another system as events occur.
Set up a trigger from Rankr to push new location data to GHL via the Custom Fields API and map each field automatically.
Create reusable templates that react to field updates and push changes back to Rankr for consistency.
Use GHL webhooks to notify Rankr about updates and initiate automations.
Obtain API keys, set the proper scope locations/customValues.readonly, and test in a staging environment.
Define the endpoints you will use and map each field from Rankr to a GHL value.
Run end to end tests, set up dashboards, and refine mappings based on results.
Both API keys and OAuth tokens are supported for authentication. Start by creating a client in Rankr and requesting the appropriate scopes. In the GHL side, attach the token to requests in the Authorization header and store credentials securely. If you hit a rate limit, stagger requests and implement exponential backoff. Always test in a sandbox before going live.
For basic synchronization, you typically use GET /locations/:locationId/customValues and POST /locations/:locationId/customValues, plus GET /locations/:locationId/customFields. Retrieve field definitions via GET /custom-fields/:id and ensure mapping to Rankr fields. Monitor changes via status endpoints and keep a clear mapping document.
Yes, you can connect without coding using no-code tools or automation templates. Complex workflows may require light scripting or custom templates in your automation platform. Start with simple triggers and expand as you gain confidence.
Create a field mapping document that lists Rankr fields and their GHL equivalents. Use stable keys like locationId, id, value, and fieldKey. Validate data types and implement error handling to avoid misaligned data.
To modify existing fields, use the update endpoints PUT /locations/:locationId/customFields/:id and PUT /locations/:locationId/customValues/:id where applicable. Prefer updates over deletion to preserve history and avoid data loss.
Common issues include invalid credentials, missing scopes, incorrect endpoint URLs, and rate limits. Verify the Authorization header, confirm your locationId, review error messages, and check response codes. Use a sandbox to reproduce and fix errors before going live.
Refer to the API reference for the exact endpoints and rate limits. You can view pagination, quotas, and headers that communicate remaining calls. Consider implementing batching to stay within limits and monitor usage in your dashboard.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
