Authenticate to the Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Store credentials securely in Pixie and rotate keys regularly.
Within Pixie, set up a connection to the Contacts API by providing client credentials or an API key. Test the connection to ensure endpoints return data.

Trigger when a contact is created or updated in Pixie to pull or push tasks.
Actions: fetch contact data, create or update tasks, and attach notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId, POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
contactId, taskId, status
Trigger when a new contact is created to populate notes and business info.
Actions: pull contact profile, attach notes, update business associations.
GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts/business/:businessId
contactId, businessId, notes
Trigger: appointment scheduled or updated.
Actions: create tasks, assign, set due date and reminder.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId
contactId, taskId, dueDate, status
No-code automation: create complex workflows without writing code.
Centralized data: a single source of truth for contacts, notes, and tasks.
Faster onboarding and maintenance: update endpoints and logic without code changes.
Below you’ll find core elements and processes to map data between Pixie and the GHL Contacts API.
A specific URL that performs a defined action in the API.
The method used to verify identity, such as OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A mechanism for real-time notifications from the server to your app.
The data carried in requests and responses between systems.
Trigger on contact status changes to auto-create follow-up tasks in Pixie.
Push notes from the Contacts API into Pixie’s notes feed for a complete history.
Link business data to contact records in Pixie to enrich your CRM view.
Create or obtain API credentials in GHL and configure the Pixie connection.
Select endpoints such as GET /contacts and POST /contacts for your workflow.
Run tests, verify data flow, and monitor results in Pixie’s logs.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Keep credentials secure and refresh tokens regularly. Pixie stores credentials securely and uses them transparently during API calls. If you rotate keys, update the Pixie connection and test that data flows as expected.
Access to endpoints depends on your GHL plan and your app’s permissions. Ensure the connected app has read or write scopes as needed. Some features may be gated by subscription tier or admin approval.
Yes. You can fetch all contacts when needed, but consider pagination and rate limits. Use filters to retrieve subsets for performance. For large datasets, implement incremental syncing and delta changes.
Use field-mapping rules in Pixie to translate GHL fields to Pixie fields. Validate required fields and handle type conversions. Document mappings so teammates can reuse them.
Most endpoints have rate limits. If you hit limits, implement backoff and retry logic, or contact support for higher quotas. Consider batching requests to stay within allowances.
Yes. You can create tasks and notes from Pixie by triggering endpoints like POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks and POST /contacts/:contactId/notes. Automations can attach these items to the relevant contact records.
API updates may require you to adjust how endpoints are called or data is mapped. Monitor release notes and update your Pixie automation steps accordingly. Test changes in a staging connection before deployment.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
