How to Use GoHighLevel Go To Connections in Advanced Triggers
When you manage complex automations in tools like ClickUp and GoHighLevel, keeping workflows organized becomes critical. In GoHighLevel, the Go To Connections feature inside the Advanced Builder for triggers helps you connect paths, set limits, and direct outcomes without creating duplicate steps or messy branches.
This how-to guide walks you through setting up Go To Connections in GoHighLevel, so you can build clean, scalable automation workflows.
What Are GoHighLevel Go To Connections?
In the Advanced Builder of a workflow trigger, GoHighLevel provides Go To Connections to link one part of a workflow to another. Instead of repeating the same steps in multiple branches, you can:
- Direct a path from one outcome to a specific action or step
- Apply limits and conditions to when the connection is used
- Keep the workflow visually simplified and easier to manage
Go To Connections are displayed as labeled tiles such as Go To, Limit, and Outcome within GoHighLevel’s trigger builder.
Where to Find Go To Connections in GoHighLevel
You will work with Go To Connections in the Advanced Builder view of a workflow trigger in GoHighLevel.
- Open your Automation or Workflows section.
- Edit an existing workflow or create a new one.
- Choose a trigger and switch to the Advanced Builder mode.
- Locate the small tiles that represent different elements, including Go To, Limit, and Outcome.
Each tile controls how contacts move through the trigger logic inside GoHighLevel.
Understanding GoHighLevel Limit and Outcome Tiles
Within the Advanced Builder in GoHighLevel, you will see tiles that represent different components of your trigger logic.
Limit Tile in GoHighLevel
The Limit tile controls how many times a contact can pass through a specific path. In GoHighLevel, this helps you:
- Prevent contacts from triggering the same automation repeatedly
- Set caps on retries or re-entries
- Enforce business rules around frequency
The Limit tile can be combined with Go To Connections so that once a limit is reached, contacts are sent to a different branch or outcome.
Outcome Tile in GoHighLevel
The Outcome tile defines what happens after a particular path is followed. Within GoHighLevel, Outcomes can be connected to:
- Another workflow step
- A specific Go To connection
- A terminal end of the workflow
By linking Outcomes to Go To connections, you create clean, reusable flow paths without duplicating steps.
How to Add a Go To Connection in GoHighLevel
Follow these steps to create and configure a Go To Connection inside a trigger’s Advanced Builder in GoHighLevel:
- Open your workflow
From your GoHighLevel dashboard, navigate to the workflow that contains the trigger you want to edit.
- Switch to Advanced Builder
Click the trigger, then choose the Advanced Builder option to view tiles and connection lines.
- Select the Go To tile
Locate the Go To tile or option among the available tiles. This tile will allow you to direct a path to another step.
- Drag the Go To tile into place
Place the tile between the step or outcome you want to redirect and the target step. You can visually arrange it in the canvas to keep your GoHighLevel workflow tidy.
- Connect to a target step
Use the connection handle (line) from the Go To tile to the step, action, or outcome you want to redirect to. Ensure the arrow visually shows the path.
- Configure connection rules (if available)
Depending on the trigger and configuration, you may see options to define when this Go To connection is used, such as conditions or limits. Adjust these settings to match your use case.
Once saved, contacts that reach this part of the trigger will follow the Go To connection to the designated step.
Combining GoHighLevel Limits, Outcomes, and Go To
One strength of GoHighLevel is the ability to combine multiple tiles to create flexible logic. In the Advanced Builder, you can:
- Use a Limit tile to restrict how many times a branch is used
- Send contacts to different Outcome tiles based on logic
- Link Outcomes to Go To tiles to reuse downstream steps
Example Flow in GoHighLevel
A common pattern in GoHighLevel might look like this:
- A trigger fires when a contact completes a form.
- A Limit tile ensures this can only happen once per contact.
- If the limit is not exceeded, an Outcome tile routes the contact to a specific path.
- A Go To tile then connects that Outcome to a shared sequence of actions such as sending emails or updating tags.
This method reduces duplicated steps and keeps the GoHighLevel workflow easier to maintain.
Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Go To Connections
To make the most of Go To Connections in GoHighLevel, follow these best practices:
- Label branches clearly
Use descriptive names for branches and actions so it is obvious where each Go To connection leads. - Avoid unnecessary loops
Ensure Go To connections do not create infinite loops or confusing re-entries for contacts. - Combine with clear Outcomes
Always connect Go To tiles from a well-defined Outcome so you know exactly which contacts are being redirected. - Use Limits to control frequency
Pair Go To connections with Limit tiles in GoHighLevel to prevent over-automation or repeated sequences.
Testing Your GoHighLevel Go To Connections
After configuring your trigger in GoHighLevel, always test the workflow:
- Run a test contact through the trigger
Use a test record or your own contact details to initiate the trigger.
- Verify each branch
Check that the contact follows the expected path through Limits, Outcomes, and Go To connections.
- Confirm end results
Make sure emails, tags, or other actions fire correctly based on the connection logic.
- Adjust if needed
If a path is not behaving as expected, revisit the Advanced Builder and inspect each tile connection.
