Pushbuild

Your systems, finally talking to each other.

We connect the tools your business runs on when there is no ready-made link, or the ready-made one isn't good enough: two-way sync, webhooks, scheduled imports and custom API connections. Every run is logged, and a failure sends an alert instead of failing quietly.

Sound familiar?

What we hear from businesses before a project like this starts.

  • Someone copies orders from one system into another every morning.
  • The built-in integration syncs some fields and silently drops the rest.
  • Our supplier has an API, and nobody here knows what to do with it.
  • The Zapier zap breaks every few weeks and we find out from a customer.
  • Two systems disagree about the same customer and we can't tell which is right.

What buyers usually need

The requests that come up most often for this kind of work, and what each one takes to work properly.

01

No more re-typing between systems

Records created in one system appear in the other, with the fields mapped and agreed in writing.

02

Two-way sync without loops

Changes flow both ways, with a clear rule for which system wins and no endless update loops.

03

A connection to a supplier or partner API

Orders, stock, prices or status pulled from or pushed to their system on a schedule or by webhook.

04

Failures you hear about

A log of every run and an alert by email or chat when something fails, with the record that caused it.

05

History moved across once

A one-time backfill of past records before the live sync starts.

06

Something you can see

A simple status page or sheet showing what synced, when, and what is waiting.

Tools that come up most: REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify, Stripe, Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres and n8n.

What you get

Concrete pieces, each one something you can open and check when it's done.

Field mapping

Which field goes where, written down and agreed before code.

Mapping document

Sync service

Scheduled or webhook-driven sync with retries and rate limits handled.

Python or Node, webhooks, queues

Conflict rules

Which system wins, and what happens when both change.

Timestamps, source-of-truth rules

Logging and alerts

A record of every run and an alert on failure.

Run log, email or chat alerts

Backfill

Past records moved once before the live sync.

Batch import scripts

Status view

Typical projects

Example packages to show the shape of the work. These are examples, not past clients; yours gets its own written scope.

Example package

One-way sync

Records from one system created or updated in another, on a schedule or by webhook.

You get

  • Field mapping agreed in writing
  • Sync running in your hosting or automation account
  • Run log and failure alerts
  • Notes on how to change the mapping

Example package

Two-way sync

Both systems kept in step, with clear rules for conflicts.

You get

  • Source-of-truth rules per field
  • Loop protection
  • Run log and failure alerts
  • A test log of create, update and conflict cases

Example package

Partner or supplier API connection

Your system connected to a supplier's or partner's API for orders, stock, prices or status.

You get

  • Authentication and rate limits handled
  • Scheduled pulls or webhook pushes
  • Errors retried and reported
  • A short guide for your team

Example package

Replace a fragile zap

A Zapier or Make flow that keeps breaking, rebuilt so it is reliable and observable.

You get

  • Review of the current flow and its failures
  • Rebuilt flow or small service
  • Logging and alerts
  • Before-and-after notes

How we approach it

The habits that keep this kind of project from going wrong.

1

Mapping before code

Every field, its direction and its source of truth is agreed in writing before anything is built.

2

Plan for failure

APIs go down and rate-limit. Every connection retries, logs and alerts rather than failing quietly.

3

Test on copies

Sync is tested against sandbox or test accounts first, then switched on for real with you watching.

4

Runs in your accounts

Code and automations run in hosting or automation accounts you own, with keys you control.

How we work

You describe it. We write it down, build it, and hand it over.

  1. You describe it

    Tell us what you need in your own words, and which tools you already use. A few lines is plenty to start.

  2. A written scope

    We reply with a short written scope: what gets built, what is out of scope, which accounts we need, and how we'll both know it works. You know what you're getting before work begins.

  3. Milestones you review

    The work is split into milestones. At each one you see it working in your own account and sign it off before we go on.

  4. Handover and a 30-day fix window

    You get the working system, its documentation and a walkthrough. If anything we built breaks in the next 30 days, we fix it at no charge.

What shapes the scope

  • How many systems and record types
  • One-way or two-way
  • Whether the APIs are documented and have test accounts
  • How much history needs moving

Always included

  • A written scope before work starts
  • Milestones you review and sign off
  • Documentation and a walkthrough at handover
  • A 30-day window for fixes, at no charge

Pushbuild has built software for businesses since 2010, for more than 40 clients. Every project is led by a former public-company CTO, from Groton, Massachusetts. See products we've built.

Questions people ask first

Why not just use Zapier?

For simple one-way steps, we often do. When volume, two-way sync or error handling outgrow it, a small service is cheaper to run and easier to trust. We say which in the scope.

Where does it run?

In your own hosting or automation account, so you keep it if we part ways.

What if the other system has no API?

Sometimes there is an export, an email report or a webhook we can use instead. If there is truly no way in, we tell you before you pay for anything.

What if we want changes halfway through?

Small adjustments inside the agreed scope are included. Anything new gets its own short written scope, and we only do it if you approve it.

What happens after handover?

For 30 days we fix anything we built that does not work as the scope describes, at no charge. After that, further work is scoped the same way.

Email a few lines about what you want and which tools you use, or call. We reply with questions or a written scope.
