To connect Rankr with the GHL Tasks API, generate a GHL API key and assign the locations/tasks.readonly scope. Store credentials securely and rotate them regularly.
Rankr uses a secure OAuth 2.0 flow to authorize access to the GHL Tasks API. During setup, create an app in Rankr, obtain a client ID and secret, and authorize the connection so Rankr can read and manipulate tasks in GHL.
Primary endpoint: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search to fetch tasks for a location. Additional endpoints cover creating, updating, and listing tasks and their properties in Rankr integrations.
Trigger: When Rankr needs to view or sync the current tasks for a given location.
Actions: call POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search to pull tasks and map results into Rankr records.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search
Key fields: locationId, taskStatus, dueDate, assignedTo
Trigger: When a new task is created in Rankr that should exist in GHL.
Actions: POST /locations/:locationId/tasks to create a new task in GHL with mapped fields.
POST /locations/:locationId/tasks
Key fields: locationId, title, dueDate, description, assigneeId
Trigger: When a task status or details change in Rankr and needs to reflect in GHL.
Actions: PATCH /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId to update status, dueDate, or notes.
PATCH /locations/:locationId/tasks/:taskId
Key fields: taskId, status, progress, lastUpdated
Connect without writing code: use Rankr’s UI to wire fields and automate task flows between Rankr and GHL.
Real-time syncing: changes in one system automatically reflect in the other via webhooks and polling.
Custom workflows: build apps and automations that trigger tasks, updates, and reminders across Rankr and GHL.
A quick glossary of core elements and processes used in the GHL + Rankr integration.
A specific URL and HTTP method used to perform an action against the GHL Tasks API (for example, POST /locations/:locationId/tasks/search).
A standard authorization framework that allows Rankr to access GHL resources securely on behalf of a user.
A defined workspace in GHL representing a client location or account context used for organizing tasks.
A callback URL that GHL calls to notify Rankr about events like task creation or updates.
Capture form submissions in Rankr and automatically create and assign tasks in GHL with due dates and owners.
Trigger reminders to task owners using Rankr automation when due dates approach.
Periodically sync tasks from Rankr into GHL for large projects and teams.
Set up OAuth or API key in Rankr and grant permission to access GHL Tasks data.
Create field mappings in Rankr to align task fields with GHL (title, status, due date, etc.).
Run tests, verify data sync, and enable automation across Rankr and GHL for active projects.
You can start without code using Rankr’s visual builder to connect fields and automate task flows. If you need deeper customization, you can use an API key or OAuth to authenticate and access the GHL Tasks API. Always keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
Use OAuth 2.0 for secure, user-consented access or an API key with restricted scopes. Choose the method your team is comfortable with and align it to the least-privilege principle. For Rankr, the recommended approach is OAuth 2.0 for ongoing access.
Not always. The primary endpoint for task search is available, but additional endpoints for creating, updating, and listing tasks may require separate permissions or scopes. Build your connection step-by-step to ensure you have the needed access.
Map fields such as title, status, dueDate, and assignee between Rankr and GHL. Use Rankr’s field mapping UI or a JSON mapping to align data types and formats. Validate mappings with test records.
Common tasks endpoints include search, create, update, and list. The exact endpoints depend on your GHL API configuration and granted scopes. Start with the search endpoint to verify connectivity.
Webhooks notify Rankr of events in GHL, such as task creation or status changes. Configure a webhook URL in GHL, then handle inbound payloads in Rankr to trigger automations or data sync.
Rate limits vary by endpoint and authentication method. Check your GHL API plan for quotas and design your automations to handle retries gracefully and to batch requests when possible.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
