Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL credentials with the configured scope (contacts.readonly). Ensure tokens are kept secret and rotated regularly.
PushAlert authenticates with GHL using OAuth tokens or API keys scoped to read contacts data, enabling secure push notifications.

The GHL API is a secure gateway that lets apps read and write data from your GHL account. To connect to PushAlert, grant the App Connector access with the contacts.readonly scope and authenticate requests using OAuth tokens or API keys. This setup enables PushAlert to read contact data and trigger web push notifications. Ensure you follow best practices for token storage and rotation. The integration relies on well-defined endpoints to fetch contacts, tasks, notes, and related data, keeping your notifications timely and relevant.
Basic connectivity relies on endpoints such as GET /contacts/:contactId to pull contact details, and related endpoints to fetch tasks, notes, and tags. Start by authorizing the connection, then select the essential endpoints for your use case. Use test data to verify that the integration creates the correct push alerts and that data mapping aligns with your notification templates.
To test web push notifications, trigger events in GHL (such as contact updates or task changes) and verify that PushAlert delivers the corresponding push messages to the intended devices. Review logs for any failed requests, confirm that authentication tokens are valid, and monitor the status of delivered notifications in both GHL and PushAlert dashboards.
With the Contacts API scope, you can access core contact data including identifiers, names, emails, and related entity data (tasks, notes, appointments). Permissions determine what data can be read, updated, or created. Always follow least-privilege principles and scope your access to only what is necessary for your automation.
Yes. Notification content can be customized using templates in PushAlert, including dynamic fields from contact data (name, last interaction, task titles). Use payload mappings to tailor messages for different events and audiences, ensuring clarity and relevance in every push.
Rate limits vary by API plan and endpoint. Monitor your usage with API response headers and implement exponential backoff for retries. If you anticipate high-volume bursts, consider batching updates or staggering notifications to maintain reliability.
The endpoint list is provided in the integration setup as a reference, and is also included in this guide under Endpoint List. You can view and copy the exact endpoints used by your connected app, and adjust the selection according to your automation needs.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
