What you set up

  • Make.com account and access to AI Automation / Agents module
  • GoHighLevel account (agency or sub-account)

How to Use Make.com with GoHighLevel

Step-by-Step Integration

  1. Connect GoHighLevel to Make.com
    • In GoHighLevel, go to Settings → Company → API Keys
    • Copy the API key and paste it into Make.com when setting up the GoHighLevel module.
    • Authorize access to your sub-accounts or client accounts.
  2. Choose Trigger Events in GHL
    Examples:
    • New Lead Added
    • Pipeline Stage Changed
    • Appointment Booked
    • Form Submitted
    • Conversation Message Received
  3. Define AI Actions in Make.com
    Use AI Agents to process incoming GHL data automatically:
    • Lead Qualification: Analyze messages, assign score, tag as cold/warm/hot
    • Auto-Response: Draft replies or SMS messages using contextual AI
    • Smart Routing: Forward leads to appropriate team or campaign based on intent
    • Summarization: Summarize conversations for CRM notes
  4. Use GoHighLevel as Action Endpoint
    After AI Agents act, send the result back into GHL:
    • Update contact tags or notes
    • Trigger follow-up workflows or campaigns
    • Create new opportunities or move stages
    • Send internal notifications or Slack messages
  5. Sync Reporting Data
    Make can pull stats (task count, lead scores, message sentiment) and update dashboards in GHL or Google Sheets for visibility.

Example Automation Scenarios

Scenario Trigger AI Agent Task Action
Lead Nurture New Lead in GHL Classify intent + write welcome email Send email via GHL campaign

Benefits

  • No-code automation between GoHighLevel and 3 000+ tools
  • Real-time AI decisions for better lead management
  • Unified workflows across CRM, email, chat, and social
  • Reduced human error and faster follow-ups
  • Customizable prompts for different client niches

Common Use Cases

  • Marketing agencies automating follow-ups for all clients
  • Med spas syncing lead capture → AI qualification → nurture
  • Real estate teams automating appointment confirmations
  • Coaches filtering inquiries by urgency and sending auto-replies

Practical Tip

Start simple: automate one GHL trigger and one AI action. For example, “New Lead → AI qualify → tag + send SMS.” Once that works reliably, expand to multi-step workflows with conditional logic.
