Authenticate to the ActiveCollab API using OAuth2 or API tokens, then securely store credentials in the GHL App Connector.
Authorize Rankr to access ActiveCollab data via the GHL Connector, granting scoped permissions for projects, tasks, and time entries.
Core endpoints include Projects, Tasks, Time Entries, People (Clients/Contacts), Milestones, Invoices, Time tracking, Attachments, Custom Fields, and Tags.
Trigger: A new project is created in Rankr.
Action: Create a corresponding project in ActiveCollab and pre-fill fields.
API Path: POST /projects
Key fields: name, description, start_date, due_date, owner_id.
Trigger: A new client is added in Rankr.
Actions: Create or update a client in ActiveCollab with contact details.
Endpoint: POST /people
Fields: name, email, phone, company.
Trigger: Time entry is created in Rankr.
Actions: Create a time entry in ActiveCollab linked to the correct project and task.
Endpoint: POST /time-entries
Fields: project_id, task_id, hours, date, notes.
Automate repetitive data entry and keep teams in sync without writing code.
Trigger-based workflows reduce manual admin and speed up project delivery.
Centralized dashboards in Rankr reflecting ActiveCollab activity.
This glossary explains terms used in GHL-App Connector workflows: endpoints, authentication, triggers, actions.
An Application Programming Interface that lets two apps talk to each other over HTTP.
A specific URL in the API that performs a defined action, such as creating a project.
The process of proving identity and granting access to the API.
A data- pushed notification from one app to another when an event occurs.
Automatically create a project in ActiveCollab when a new project triggers in Rankr, with default templates.
Push client details to ActiveCollab and assign to the appropriate project automatically.
Auto-create time entries in ActiveCollab from Rankr time logs to simplify reporting.
Install the GHL App Connector in your Rankr workspace and authorize access to ActiveCollab.
Select the ActiveCollab endpoints you want to use, set triggers for Rankr events, and map fields.
Run tests, verify data flows, and enable automation across teams.
No coding is required. The GHL App Connector provides a no-code interface to set up triggers and actions between Rankr and ActiveCollab. You can map fields and test data flows without writing code. If you need more control, you can tweak settings and field mappings in the connector to handle edge cases.
Supported authentication methods include OAuth2 and API tokens. Choose the method that best fits your security policy, rotate credentials regularly, and store tokens securely in the GHL App Connector.
For a basic sync start with core endpoints like POST /projects, POST /people, and POST /time-entries. These endpoints cover projects, clients, and time tracking, which are common starting points for automation.
Yes. Field mapping is configurable in the App Connector. You can map Rankr fields to ActiveCollab fields, define default values, and transform data as needed during transfers.
Use the built-in test mode to simulate triggers and actions. Validate data fidelity, monitor logs, and confirm that records appear correctly in ActiveCollab before going live.
API rate limits apply. If you anticipate heavy usage, implement batching, pacing, or staggered triggers to avoid hitting limits. The connector provides throttling controls to help manage this.
Consult the connector logs for error details, verify authentication, check field mappings, and review endpoint permissions. Reproduce issues in test mode and adjust settings accordingly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
