GoHighLevel Workflows: Automate Tasks, Trigger Campaigns, and Personalize Client Journeys

GoHighLevel Workflows let you automate actions across your CRM—like sending emails, assigning leads, updating deals, or launching campaigns—all without coding.


⚙️ What Are GoHighLevel Workflows?

Workflows in GHL are visual automation builders. You can:

  • Send emails or SMS when leads fill forms
  • Move contacts between pipeline stages
  • Trigger calls, surveys, internal tasks or follow-ups
  • Personalize experiences with custom values

It’s like Zapier inside your CRM—but simpler and visual.

🪜 Simple Example: A Local Salon

  1. A client books via your online calendar
  2. Workflow starts: sends confirmation + directions
  3. A day before: sends SMS reminder
  4. After visit: triggers review request email
  5. Tag is added: "Completed Service"

Everything runs automatically.


🔧 Key Elements in Workflows

1. Triggers – What starts the flow?

  • Form submitted
  • Appointment booked
  • Tag added
  • Birthday arrives

2. Actions – What happens next?

  • Send email or SMS
  • Call using AI Agent
  • Add to Facebook audience
  • Assign to a user
  • Update deal stage

3. Conditions – Add logic:

  • IF lead is hot → Send to sales
  • IF not responded in 48h → Send follow-up

4. Wait Steps – Delay between steps

  • Wait 1 hour before next action
  • Wait until 10am local time

🧰 Prebuilt Templates to Save Time

GoHighLevel includes automation templates like:

  • Missed call → text back
  • Abandoned funnel recovery
  • Lead qualification workflows
  • Review requests and reminders

You can customize or clone workflows from Snapshots.


🧠 AI + Workflows = Smart Automation

Add GoHighLevel AI tools inside workflows:

  • Voice AI calls a lead
  • Conversation AI follows up based on response
  • Workflow AI adjusts timing based on open rates

Now your automations adapt in real-time.


🔁 Replaces This Stack:

Without Workflows, you'd need:

  • Zapier (logic routing)
  • ActiveCampaign (email chains)
  • Calendly (reminders)
  • Twilio (SMS)
  • Trello or Asana (task triggers)

With GHL Workflows, it's one tool.
