Obtain a valid access token for the Contacts API with the minimum required scope (contacts.readonly). Keep credentials secure and rotate them regularly.
Configure Pushcut to accept calls from the Contacts API using a secure API key or OAuth method provided by Pushcut’s integration settings. This ensures automated actions can be executed safely.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; contacts.write; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
Trigger: A contact is updated in GHL, which prompts Pull from the Contacts API to fetch the latest details and related tasks in Pushcut.
Actions: Create or update tasks and notes in Pushcut based on the retrieved data; optionally update the contact in GHL after completion.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, taskId, notesId, businessId
Trigger: When a new business is created in GHL, fetch the related contacts from the Contacts API.
Actions: Create or update Contact records in Pushcut and apply default tags for organization-wide workflows.
GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: businessId, contactId
Trigger: A task in Pushcut is marked completed, then update the corresponding task in GHL via PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed.
Actions: Update task status in GHL and optionally prune completed tasks to keep data tidy.
PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed
Key fields: contactId, taskId, completed
Drag-and-drop workflow builder lets you design data flows between GHL and Pushcut without writing code.
No server maintenance or custom integration skills required—test and deploy in minutes.
Built-in error handling, retries, and logs help you monitor automation with confidence.
This glossary covers common terms used in the GHL to Pushcut workflow, including API endpoint, authentication, webhook, payload, trigger, action, and integration flow.
A URL path that performs a defined action in an API when called.
A real-time push mechanism that notifies apps when an event occurs.
The process of proving identity to access an API, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The data sent with an API request or returned in a response.
Trigger a Pushcut task from a GHL contact update to keep teams aligned on follow-ups.
When a new GHL contact is created, Pushcut creates a corresponding record and assigns onboarding tags.
Aggregate status, tasks, and notes from the Contacts API into a visual dashboard in Pushcut.
In Pushcut, generate an API key and grant read permissions for contacts (scope: contacts.readonly).
Connect GHL to Pushcut using the provided endpoints, map fields, and define triggers for contact updates.
Run tests with a sample contact, confirm data sync, then enable the automation in production.
The Contacts API provides programmatic access to contact data, including details, tasks, notes, and more. It enables reading and, where allowed, writing data to support automation flows. In this guide, we focus on the read scope (contacts.readonly) to safely surface information for coordination between GHL and Pushcut. The API acts as the bridge for fetching up-to-date contact information and related items you want to act on in Pushcut.
Current setup uses the read-only scope by default, which protects contact data from unexpected changes. If you need write access (to create or update contacts, tasks, or notes), you would need to adjust permissions and review security policies. Always test in a sandbox before enabling writes.
Yes. You can trigger automation from GHL events by using webhooks or polling the Contacts API, then directing Pushcut to perform actions like creating tasks or updating records. Map triggers to endpoints and test thoroughly.
To test, use a controlled sample contact and run through a dry-run of the workflow. Verify data is fetched correctly, triggers fire as expected, and logs show the right events. Use sandbox credentials where available.
This is designed as a no-code integration. Set up triggers, actions, and field mappings with a visual builder—no custom code needed. For complex flows, you can extend with endpoints as needed.
The integration covers multiple endpoints such as retrieving a single contact, their tasks, notes, appointments, and the bulk list of contacts, plus endpoints for creating and updating records. Review the Core API Endpoints section for a complete list.
Errors and logs are surfaced in both GHL and Pushcut dashboards. Check request responses, status codes, and webhook delivery logs to diagnose issues. Enable verbose logging in your integration settings for deeper visibility.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
