GoHighLevel Developer Services: Custom APIs, Advanced Automations, and SaaS Scaling
Developer-level help with GoHighLevel: API integrations, webhook setups, and SaaS snapshots with documentation and testing included.

- You plan to package your builds as SaaS for resale

Red flags to avoid
- Agencies saying “we do everything” but no proof of API or webhook work
- No technical discovery or requirements doc
- No rollback or testing plan
How to scope developer projects
- Define triggers – what events start the process
- Map systems – which apps and data must sync
- Identify complexity – simple, conditional, or enterprise logic
- Plan rollout – test in sandbox before going live
- Document – ensure ownership and portability
