How to connect Rankr to the GHL API using 0CodeKit

GHL API x Rankr integration: a practical guide

Connecting the GHL API with Rankr

This guide explains authentication, token handling, and data flows to connect Rankr’s Documents & Contracts API with the GHL API via 0CodeKit, with practical examples.

Authentication with the GHL API

Use OAuth 2.0 to obtain access tokens from the GHL API. Store tokens securely and refresh before expiration.

Rankr App Authentication

Rankr authenticates with a client credential flow to get a short-lived access token for API calls. Use your client_id and client_secret from the GHL developer console.

Key GHL Endpoints for Rankr

Common endpoints to consider include: contacts, documents, contracts, templates, tasks, webhooks, and user sessions. Specifics depend on your use case; consult the API docs for exact paths and methods.

Top 3 connection patterns between GHL API and Rankr

Create or update a contact in GHL from Rankr

Trigger: a new or updated lead in Rankr creates or updates a contact in GHL.

Actions: upsert contact fields (name, email, phone); attach related documents; link to client record.

POST /contacts

Key fields: email, name, external_id

Sync documents between Rankr and GHL

Trigger: document status changes in Rankr trigger an update or create in GHL.

Actions: create or update documents in GHL and attach to contact

POST /documents

Key fields: document_id, contact_id, status

Top 3 connection patterns between GHL API and Rankr

Update client data in GHL from Rankr

Trigger: client data changes in Rankr prompt updates in GHL

Actions: upsert contact fields like name, email, company, address

PATCH /contacts/{id}

Key fields: contact_id, email

No-code benefits of the GHL-Rankr integration

Automate document workflows without writing code using 0CodeKit.

Keep client data synchronized in real time across Rankr and GHL.

Reduce manual data entry, speed up approvals, and improve accuracy.

Key terms and glossary

Three creative ideas for integrating Rankr with the GHL API

Auto-generate contracts from new leads

When a new lead is created in GHL, automatically generate a contract in Rankr and attach it to the lead.

Populate documents with client data

Use Rankr to fill templates with fields from GHL before sending for approval.

Trigger renewal reminders

Schedule contract renewal reminders in GHL when Rankr detects upcoming expiry.

Three steps to connect GHL with Rankr

Get API credentials

Register the Rankr app in GHL, generate a client ID and secret, and store them securely.

Configure webhooks

Set up event webhooks in GHL to notify Rankr of relevant actions (lead creation, document status, etc.).

Test and validate

Run end-to-end tests with sample data, verify mappings, and handle errors gracefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GHL-Rankr integration?

The GHL-Rankr integration connects Rankr’s Documents & Contracts API with the GHL API to automate document creation, updates, and approvals, all from a no-code setup. This enables your team to trigger actions in Rankr based on events in GHL. No-code tools like 0CodeKit simplify mapping and workflow setup, so you can realize this integration quickly without writing code.

Most common flows can be built without custom code. For advanced scenarios, you may need light scripting or custom field mappings, but the platform supports point-and-click configuration. Always start with a small pilot to validate data mapping and triggers.

The integration uses OAuth 2.0 to obtain access tokens for secure API calls. Client credentials are exchanged for a token and renewed before expiry. Store tokens securely (e.g., server-side secret management) and implement token refresh logic in your app or workflow.

Key endpoints include contacts, documents, contracts, and webhooks. Exact paths vary; refer to the GHL API docs and Rankr’s endpoint mapping in 0CodeKit. Focus on endpoints that enable upserts of contact data and document creation/attachment in Rankr through GHL.

Testing should start in a sandbox or developer environment. Use sample data to verify field mappings, triggers, and error handling. Validate success paths and error messages, then proceed to production with safeguards and monitoring.

API credentials are generated in the GHL developer console. Retrieve client_id and client_secret, configure redirect URIs if needed, and store them securely. Renew credentials as needed and rotate secrets regularly.

If you hit rate limits, review your call patterns and implement exponential backoff. Cache responses where possible and batch requests when supported. Consider splitting work across smaller triggers or using webhooks to avoid polling overload.
