GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder Guide

The GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder lets you design automation in a way that feels as simple as writing tasks in ClickUp, while still giving you the full power of advanced workflow automation. This guide walks you through how to access, use, and manage the AI Builder so you can quickly generate and refine workflows without starting from scratch.

What Is the GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder?

The Workflow AI Builder in GoHighLevel is a tool that converts plain-language instructions into complete workflows. You describe what you want the automation to do, and the AI drafts a full workflow for you, including triggers, actions, and logic.

Instead of building every step manually, you can outline your process and let the AI propose a ready-made structure that you can customize. This is especially helpful when you need to create complex automations quickly or want a starting point to refine.

How to Access the GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder

You can access the Workflow AI Builder directly from your existing automation tools inside GoHighLevel.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Navigate to the Automation area where workflows are managed.

  3. Open an existing workflow or create a new workflow.

  4. Look for the option labeled AI Builder or Workflow AI Builder within the workflow interface.

Once opened, the AI Builder panel appears, allowing you to generate or regenerate workflows based on your written instructions.

How the GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder Works

The GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder uses your prompts to generate workflow structures. You provide context and requirements, and the system translates that into logical sequences of automation steps.

Core Capabilities of the GoHighLevel Workflow AI Builder

  • AI Generation from Prompts: Type a detailed description of the workflow you want, and the AI suggests a complete structure.

  • Regenerate Workflows: If the generated workflow is not quite right, you can regenerate it by adjusting your prompt.

  • Edit Content and Structure: Once the workflow is generated, you can manually edit steps, texts, and settings as needed.

  • Save and Activate: After reviewing the AI-generated flow, you can save and activate it like any other workflow in GoHighLevel.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Workflow with GoHighLevel AI Builder

Follow these steps to generate a workflow using the GoHighLevel AI Builder.

Step 1: Open or Create a Workflow

  1. From your GoHighLevel dashboard, go to the Automation section.

  2. Click Workflows.

  3. Select an existing workflow or click to create a new workflow.

The workflow editor will open, showing your current steps or a blank canvas.

Step 2: Launch the GoHighLevel AI Builder

  1. Inside the workflow editor, locate the AI Builder button or panel.

  2. Click to open the Workflow AI Builder interface.

  3. You will see a text field where you can describe the automation you want.

This is where you provide your instructions to the AI.

Step 3: Write an Effective Prompt for GoHighLevel

The quality of the workflow generated by GoHighLevel depends on the clarity of your instructions. Use specific, detailed prompts.

Best practices for prompts include:

  • State the goal of the workflow (for example, nurture new leads, follow up after form submission).

  • Mention the trigger event (form submitted, tag added, appointment booked, etc.).

  • Specify the communication channels (email, SMS, internal notifications).

  • Outline timing (immediate messages, delays, follow-ups over several days).

  • Include conditions (if lead does X, then do Y).

An example prompt could be:

“Create a workflow that triggers when a new lead submits the contact form, sends an immediate confirmation email, waits one day, then sends a follow-up text. If the lead books an appointment, stop all remaining messages.”

Step 4: Generate the Workflow

  1. Paste or type your prompt into the AI Builder text field.

  2. Click the Generate button.

  3. Wait for the GoHighLevel AI Builder to create a workflow outline.

The system will populate the workflow editor with triggers, actions, and any recommended logic.

Step 5: Review the AI-Generated Workflow

After generation, carefully review the proposed workflow:

  • Check that the trigger matches your instructions.

  • Review each message and step for correct content and timing.

  • Confirm that stop conditions and branching logic fit your process.

You can click into individual steps to edit subject lines, message body content, delays, and conditions as needed.

Step 6: Refine or Regenerate the Workflow

If the initial result is not ideal, you can refine it using the AI Builder.

  • Adjust your prompt to be more specific or to correct anything the AI misunderstood.

  • Click Regenerate to get a new version of the workflow.

  • Repeat until the generated flow matches your requirements.

You are always free to combine AI-generated structures with manual edits in GoHighLevel for full control.

Step 7: Save and Activate

  1. Once satisfied with the workflow, click Save.

  2. Turn the workflow Active when you’re ready to start using it.

  3. Monitor performance and return to the workflow editor to tweak steps over time.

Tips for Better Results with the GoHighLevel AI Builder

To get more accurate workflows from the GoHighLevel AI Builder, keep these tips in mind.

Be Clear and Detailed

The AI responds best to explicit instructions. Include:

  • Who the workflow is for (new leads, existing clients, missed calls, etc.).

  • What you want to achieve (book more appointments, recover lost leads, send reminders).

  • How many messages you want to send and on what schedule.

Use Realistic Scenarios

Base your prompts on real automation scenarios you actually use in your GoHighLevel account. This keeps the generated workflow practical and easier to implement.

Iterate and Improve

The first AI-generated version is a starting point. Use it as a draft, then:

  • Edit copy for your brand voice.

  • Adjust timing based on your experience and metrics.

  • Test with a small sample of contacts before rolling out widely.

Managing and Editing AI-Generated Workflows in GoHighLevel

After using the Workflow AI Builder, your workflows behave like any other automation in GoHighLevel.

  • You can clone AI-generated workflows for different pipelines or products.

  • You can disable or pause workflows during testing.

  • You can combine manually created steps with AI-generated steps inside the same flow.

Because everything is stored in your existing workflow interface, your team can collaborate, review, and update processes without needing to recreate them from scratch.
