Authentication is handled through a secure GHL API key issued for AccredibleCertificates access. Store keys securely and rotate them regularly.
Rankr authenticates with GHL using a dedicated API key and scoped tokens to securely access the AccredibleCertificates endpoints.
Create/Update certificate (POST /certificates); Retrieve details (GET /certificates/{id}); List certificates (GET /certificates); Issue or renew (POST /certificates/issue); Webhook events (POST /webhooks/certificates); Bulk import (POST /certificates/bulk).
Trigger when a new enrollment or order is created in Rankr.
Actions: create or update a certificate in AccredibleCertificates, notify the user, and log the event.
POST /certificates
user_id, course_id, certificate_id
Trigger: AccredibleCertificates emits a webhook on issuance or status change.
Actions: sync status back to Rankr, update UI, and notify stakeholders.
POST /certificates/status
certificate_id, status
Trigger: batch import from Rankr to AccredibleCertificates.
Actions: create multiple certificates, assign recipients, and track progress.
POST /certificates/bulk
batch_id, recipient_list
Automate certificate issuance and delivery without writing code, saving time and reducing errors.
Real-time sync between Rankr and AccredibleCertificates ensures consistent data across platforms.
Easy maintenance with centralized configuration and no-code workflows.
This glossary explains the core elements and processes involved in the Rankr–GHL AccredibleCertificates integration.
A set of rules that allow Rankr to interact programmatically with AccredibleCertificates.
A specific URL path that performs a defined action within the API.
A callback mechanism that notifies Rankr of events from AccredibleCertificates.
The process of proving identity to grant access to API resources.
Trigger certificate creation automatically when a learner completes a course, and email the certificate to the user.
Provide live certificate status in Rankr, with filters for issued, pending, or failed certificates.
Bulk-provision certificates for new users via CSV or API triggers to streamline onboarding.
Obtain the API key, client ID, and endpoint access from both Rankr and AccredibleCertificates.
Set up the necessary endpoints, webhooks, and authentication scopes.
Run test transactions and verify that certificates are created and status updates flow correctly.
A Zapier account is not required to connect Rankr to the AccredibleCertificates API. Use Rankr’s built-in webhook and API capabilities to manage automation. If you do use Zapier, you can create additional workflows that trigger on certificate events. In most cases, the direct GHL integration handles key automation without an external bridge. For testing, start with a sandbox environment if available to verify triggers and data mappings before moving to production.
Yes. You can test in a sandbox or staging environment provided by GHL and AccredibleCertificates. Use test credentials and sample data to simulate certificate creation and status updates. Monitor logs for any mismatches and adjust field mappings as needed. Always ensure you switch to production credentials only after successful testing.
You typically need a Rankr API key with appropriate scopes and a GHL access token for AccredibleCertificates endpoints. It may also require a client ID and client secret for OAuth-based access depending on your setup. Ensure that your API keys are stored securely and rotated regularly. Review the scope assignments to align with the actions you’ll perform (certificate creation, status updates, webhooks).
To revoke access, remove the API key or OAuth token from the Rankr and AccredibleCertificates integration settings. Rotate keys on a scheduled basis and monitor for unauthorized activity. If using webhooks, disable them from the source if needed. After revoking, test the connection to confirm that no further calls are accepted.
For basic operations, you’ll typically need endpoints to create/update certificates, retrieve certificate details, and process status updates. At minimum, configure POST /certificates and POST /certificates/status, plus a webhook listener for event-driven updates. Refer to endpoint documentation for additional capabilities like bulk create or enrichment.
No-code options exist via the Rankr dashboard and optional Zapier or webhooks, but a direct GHL integration is often sufficient for most use cases. Visual workflow builders can help non-technical users map data fields and trigger actions without writing code. If you need complex logic, you can layer additional automation with Zapier or custom webhooks.
Error messages and logs can be found in the Rankr activity log and the AccredibleCertificates API console. Look for failed authentications, invalid field mappings, or endpoint permission issues. Enable granular logging to capture payloads for debugging. If issues persist, consult the integration docs or contact support for diagnostic assistance.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
