If you are moving marketing operations from tools like ClickUp into a unified CRM, understanding how to automate LinkedIn lead capture in GoHighLevel is essential. This guide walks you step by step through using the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger so new leads from your LinkedIn ads flow directly into your workflows.
The instructions below are based on the official GoHighLevel documentation and will help you configure the trigger correctly, choose the right filter options, and connect your LinkedIn forms to efficient automation sequences.
What the GoHighLevel LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted Trigger Does
The LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger in GoHighLevel activates a workflow every time a connected LinkedIn lead generation form is submitted. This allows you to:
- Capture new leads directly from LinkedIn into your CRM.
- Start automatic follow-up sequences within a workflow.
- Segment leads based on the specific LinkedIn form they submitted.
- Standardize how your team responds to new LinkedIn inquiries.
Once configured, GoHighLevel listens for form submissions from your linked ad accounts and launches the workflow whenever a matching event occurs.
Where to Find the GoHighLevel LinkedIn Lead Form Trigger
To access this trigger within GoHighLevel, navigate to your automation area and either create a new workflow or edit an existing one.
- Open your GoHighLevel account and select the appropriate sub-account.
- Go to the Workflows section.
- Click Create Workflow or open an existing workflow you want to modify.
- In the workflow builder, click Add Trigger.

Once you select this option, GoHighLevel displays the trigger configuration panel where you can refine how and when the workflow should start.
Configuring the GoHighLevel LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted Trigger
The core of this trigger is its ability to activate only when specific LinkedIn events occur. GoHighLevel provides a set of fields that control which lead submissions will start the workflow.
Choosing LinkedIn Lead Form Events in GoHighLevel
Inside the trigger configuration, you will see a field that determines which LinkedIn form events should be tracked. The main control is the selection that specifies how GoHighLevel responds to incoming LinkedIn form submissions.
According to the official help article, the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger is designed specifically for form submission events coming from your connected LinkedIn ads and lead gen forms. Make sure your LinkedIn account and lead forms are properly integrated with GoHighLevel before expecting submissions to appear.
Using Filters to Target Specific LinkedIn Forms
To avoid starting this workflow for every single LinkedIn form across your account, you can add filters. Filters narrow down which submissions will start the automation. In the GoHighLevel trigger settings, you can specify conditions such as:
- Only trigger when the submission matches a particular LinkedIn form.
- Run the workflow for forms associated with specific campaigns or objectives (as available through your integration).
By configuring these options, you ensure the workflow is triggered only for the LinkedIn forms that matter for this particular automation.
Step-by-Step Setup of the GoHighLevel LinkedIn Trigger
Follow these steps to properly set up the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger in GoHighLevel:
- Confirm LinkedIn Integration
Before creating the trigger, verify that your LinkedIn account is connected within GoHighLevel and that your lead forms are synced. Refer to the integration area of your account settings if necessary.
- Create or Open a Workflow
Open the workflow builder from the automations menu. You can either create a new workflow from scratch or edit an existing one you want to start from a LinkedIn submission.
- Add the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted Trigger
Click Add Trigger, then select LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted from the list of available triggers.
- Configure Trigger Options
Within the trigger panel, review the settings provided by GoHighLevel. Select the appropriate options so that only desired LinkedIn lead form submissions start this workflow.
- Define Filters for Specific Forms
Add filters to focus on one or more particular LinkedIn forms. Use the available dropdowns and fields to choose the forms you want to associate with this automation.
- Save the Trigger
After configuring settings and filters, click Save to apply the trigger to the workflow.
- Add Workflow Actions
Once the trigger is saved, add actions such as sending emails, assigning tasks, updating contact fields, or applying tags to fully automate your LinkedIn lead follow-up process in GoHighLevel.
Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel with LinkedIn Forms
To get the best results when working with the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger, keep these practices in mind:
- Use separate workflows for different LinkedIn offers so your messaging is relevant to what the lead requested.
- Map fields correctly from LinkedIn to GoHighLevel contact fields to avoid incomplete or inconsistent data.
- Test the integration by submitting a test lead form and confirming that the workflow starts as expected.
- Standardize naming for LinkedIn forms so it is easy to locate and filter them inside GoHighLevel.
These steps help maintain clean automations and ensure every qualified lead receives the appropriate follow-up sequence.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel LinkedIn Lead Form Triggers
If the workflow does not start when a LinkedIn form is submitted, review these common areas:
- Integration status: Confirm that the LinkedIn account connection in GoHighLevel is active and authorized.
- Correct trigger type: Verify that the workflow uses the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger and not another trigger type.
- Filters too strict: Check your filters; if they are too narrow or reference the wrong form, the workflow will not trigger.
- Workflow status: Ensure the workflow is published or active, not in draft or disabled state.
If issues persist, consult the official documentation for the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger at this GoHighLevel support article.
Leveraging GoHighLevel for Multi-Channel Funnels
Once your LinkedIn lead forms trigger workflows reliably, you can combine this with other automation features in GoHighLevel to build multi-channel follow-up systems. For example:
- Trigger SMS or email sequences based on form responses.
- Notify your sales team immediately when high-intent forms are submitted.
- Apply tags that group LinkedIn leads separately from other traffic sources.
- Use conditional logic inside the workflow to branch messaging based on form fields.
This approach helps you treat LinkedIn leads as a distinct segment while still managing everything centrally within GoHighLevel.

After you master the LinkedIn Lead Form Submitted trigger, explore other automation features inside GoHighLevel to extend your funnel, such as triggers for pipeline changes, form submissions from other channels, and appointment bookings.
