Does MCA Pilot integrate with MCA Simplified / GoHighLevel?

Yes. Many MCA Pilot customers use GoHighLevel (or MCA Simplified, which is built on GoHighLevel) for lead management. We build a custom tag-based integration so you can push deals from GoHighLevel to MCA Pilot instantly.

This integration is custom-built during onboarding. If you haven't set it up yet, reach out to support and we'll configure it for you.

How it works

Once integrated, you apply a specific tag to any GoHighLevel contact. All of that contact's information and attached files are automatically pushed to MCA Pilot as a new deal.

The integration maps:

  • Contact details (business name, owner name, phone, email, etc.)

  • Custom fields (revenue, time in business, credit score, etc.)

  • Attached files (bank statements, tax returns, voided checks)

  • Notes and conversation history (optional)

Setup process

Here's what to expect when setting up the integration:

  1. Create the trigger tag – In GoHighLevel, go to Settings → Custom Fields and create a tag (e.g., "Push to MCA Pilot" or "Submit Deal").

  2. Create the workflow – In GoHighLevel, go to Automation → Workflows and create a new workflow triggered when the tag is applied to a contact.

  3. Add a webhook action – In the workflow, add an action called "Webhook" (use the standard webhook action, not the custom webhook).

  4. Request your webhook URL – Reach out to MCA Pilot support. We'll generate a unique webhook URL for your integration and send it to you.

  5. Enter the webhook URL – Paste the URL we provide into the webhook action in your GoHighLevel workflow.

  6. Test the workflow – Select a contact with all information filled out (business name, revenue, files uploaded, etc.) and apply the tag to trigger the workflow.

  7. Confirm the test – Let us know you've sent the test. We'll verify the deal appears correctly in MCA Pilot and confirm field mapping.

Make sure your test contact has all fields filled out and files attached. This helps us verify the integration is capturing everything correctly.

What you need from us

To complete the integration, you need a webhook URL from MCA Pilot support. This URL is unique to your account and tells GoHighLevel where to send the data.

Webhook URLs follow this format:

https://webhook.mcapilot.com/nln4oez113cp7t/{your-unique-id}

We generate this URL after you've created the tag and workflow in GoHighLevel. Don't try to create your own—it won't work without backend configuration on our side.

After setup

Once the integration is live, your workflow looks like this:

  1. Merchant reaches out or you capture a lead in GoHighLevel

  2. You collect application info and documents in the GoHighLevel contact

  3. When ready to submit, apply the trigger tag

  4. Deal appears in MCA Pilot within seconds, assigned to the correct rep

  5. AI underwriting and document verification run automatically

Each GoHighLevel contact should only be tagged once. If you apply the tag multiple times, it will create duplicate deals in MCA Pilot.

Troubleshooting

Deal didn't appear in MCA Pilot

  • Check that the contact has all required fields filled out (business name, owner name, phone or email)

  • Verify the workflow triggered in GoHighLevel (Automation → Workflows → View Runs)

  • Reach out to support—we can check webhook logs to see if data was received

Missing fields or files

  • Let us know which fields aren't mapping correctly. We may need to adjust field mapping on our side.

Wrong rep assigned

  • We can configure rep assignment based on GoHighLevel tags, pipelines, or custom fields. Reach out and we'll adjust the logic.


Using GoHighLevel Private Integration Tokens for Custom Workflows

If you're building custom workflows with n8n, Make, Zapier, or other automation tools that need to search, read, or update GoHighLevel contacts, you'll need a Private Integration Token from your GoHighLevel sub-account.

What's a Private Integration Token? It's an API key that starts with ey... and authenticates your custom integration to access GoHighLevel data. This is different from the webhook URL described above (which pushes data from GHL to MCA Pilot).

Where to find your Private Integration Token:

  1. Log into your GoHighLevel sub-account (not the agency view)

  2. Go to Settings (gear icon in the bottom left)

  3. Scroll down to Other Settings in the left sidebar

  4. Click on Private Integrations

    Note: If you don't see Private Integrations, enable it first via Settings → Labs.

  5. Click Create New Integration

  6. Enter a name (e.g., \"n8n Integration\" or \"Custom Workflow\")

  7. Click Next

  8. Select the scopes your integration needs:

    • contacts.readonly — Search and read contact info

    • contacts.write — Create or update contacts (tags, custom fields, etc.)

    • Add other scopes as needed (e.g., opportunities.readonly, calendars.write)

  9. Click Create

  10. IMPORTANT: Copy the token immediately—you'll only see it once. The token starts with ey and is 250+ characters long.

Common use cases:

  • n8n workflows — Search for a contact in GHL, read custom fields, update tags based on deal status in MCA Pilot

  • Bidirectional sync — Push MCA Pilot deal updates back to GHL (e.g., tag contacts when offers are created or deals are funded)

  • Custom automations — Trigger actions in GHL based on events from MCA Pilot webhooks

Create separate Private Integration Tokens for each tool (one for n8n, one for Make, etc.). This makes it easier to rotate tokens and troubleshoot issues without breaking multiple integrations.
