How to Copy Workflow Actions Across Workflows in GoHighLevel

If you manage multiple automations in ClickUp and GoHighLevel, re-creating the same steps over and over can waste valuable time. Instead of rebuilding every email, wait step, or tag action from scratch, you can quickly copy workflow actions across workflows in GoHighLevel and keep your automation logic consistent.

This guide walks you through, step by step, how to copy individual actions, entire branches, and multiple steps between workflows in GoHighLevel so you can streamline your automation setup.

Why Copy Workflow Actions in GoHighLevel

When your business scales, you often reuse similar sequences, filters, and conditions. Copying actions in GoHighLevel allows you to:

• Save time when building new workflows or updating existing ones.
• Maintain consistent logic across pipelines, campaigns, and funnels.
• Reduce human error from manually recreating complex branches.
• Quickly test variations of a working automation without starting from zero.

Instead of cloning an entire workflow, you can copy only the actions you need and paste them exactly where they belong inside any other GoHighLevel workflow.

How the Copy Feature Works in GoHighLevel Workflows

The copy function is built directly into each action inside the workflow builder. You can copy:

• A single action (for example, a Send Email or Wait step).
• A group of actions (a whole sequence of steps).
• A branch that starts from a conditional step such as If/Else.

Once copied, these actions stay in an internal clipboard so you can paste them into the same workflow or into a completely different workflow in GoHighLevel.

Accessing the Workflow Builder in GoHighLevel

Before you can copy workflow actions, you must open the correct workflow inside GoHighLevel.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account with the correct sub-account.

2. From the left-hand navigation, go to Automation (or Workflows, depending on your interface version).

3. Locate the workflow that already contains the actions you want to reuse.

4. Click the workflow name to open the workflow builder canvas.

You will now see each step laid out in order, including triggers, actions, and any conditional branches.

Copy a Single Action in a GoHighLevel Workflow

Use this method when you only need to copy one specific step from a workflow in GoHighLevel.

1. Hover over the action you want to copy.

2. Click the three-dot (⋮) menu on that action.

3. Select Copy from the dropdown menu.

The selected action is now copied and can be pasted anywhere allowed in the same workflow or a different one.

Paste a Single Action in GoHighLevel

1. Navigate to the workflow and the exact position where you want to paste the copied action.

2. Hover between two existing steps (or under a branch) until you see the option to add a new action.

3. Click the + button (or relevant insert control).

4. Select Paste to insert the previously copied action.

The pasted step will keep its configuration (such as email content, wait duration, or tag values) from the original GoHighLevel workflow.

Copy Multiple Actions or Branches in GoHighLevel

Many automations use complex decision trees. In GoHighLevel, you can copy entire branches or multiple actions at once, which is extremely useful when reusing multi-step sequences.

Copy an Entire If/Else Branch in GoHighLevel

1. Find the If/Else or similar conditional step that controls the branch you want.

2. Hover over the branch label (for example, If Yes or If No).

3. Click the three-dot (⋮) menu for that branch.

4. Select Copy Branch (or the equivalent option shown in your version of GoHighLevel).

This copies the entire branch, including all nested actions and sub-branches.

Paste a Branch into Another Workflow

1. Open the target workflow where the branch should be reused.

2. Locate the action or position that should precede the new branch.

3. Click the appropriate add or insert button at that position.

4. Choose Paste to insert the copied branch into the workflow.

The pasted branch will appear with all of its internal steps intact, allowing you to reuse a proven logic structure across workflows in GoHighLevel.

Copy Actions Across Different GoHighLevel Workflows

You are not limited to the same automation. The copy clipboard works across workflows inside the same GoHighLevel sub-account.

1. Copy the action or branch from the original workflow following the steps above.

2. Navigate back to the workflow list in GoHighLevel.

3. Open the destination workflow where you want to reuse the actions.

4. Scroll to the area where you want to paste.

5. Use the add action button and select Paste to insert the copied item.

This method lets you build a reusable library of automation pieces inside GoHighLevel, making it easier to maintain consistent logic between pipelines, campaigns, and client accounts.

Best Practices for Managing Copied Actions in GoHighLevel

To avoid confusion and maintain clean automations, follow these best practices when copying workflow actions in GoHighLevel:

• Rename actions immediately: After pasting, rename steps to match their new purpose so you can quickly understand each action at a glance.
• Check dependencies: Confirm that references to tags, offers, calendars, or pipelines still make sense in the new workflow.
• Update messages: Adjust email and SMS content so it applies to the new funnel or audience while keeping the same structure.
• Test before going live: Use test contacts to run through the workflow and confirm that copied actions behave as expected.

By combining these practices with the built-in copy tools, you keep your GoHighLevel automations scalable, organized, and easy to maintain.
