GoHighLevel GPT Workflow Action Setup Guide

If you use ClickUp or other productivity tools alongside GoHighLevel, you can streamline content creation by adding AI directly into your automations. This guide shows you how to configure the GPT-powered workflow action in GoHighLevel so you can generate responses, summaries, and custom content inside your pipelines and campaigns.

The GPT action is powered by OpenAI and lets you instantly create text outputs based on triggers, contact fields, and workflow events. Follow the steps below to enable and use this feature effectively.

What the GoHighLevel GPT Workflow Action Does

The GPT workflow action in GoHighLevel allows you to add AI-generated text as part of your automation logic. When a workflow reaches this action, GoHighLevel sends your prompt and relevant data to OpenAI, then returns a response you can use in subsequent steps.

Common use cases include:

• Drafting email replies using contact information.
• Summarizing long messages or notes.
• Creating social media captions or quick posts.
• Rewriting or improving text for clarity and tone.

This is handled entirely inside your existing workflow, so you do not need to leave GoHighLevel to create AI-powered content.

Prerequisites for Using GPT in GoHighLevel

Before adding the GPT action to your automations, confirm these requirements are met:

• An active GoHighLevel account with workflow access.
• Permissions to edit workflows at the sub-account or agency level.
• GPT action enabled on your account (feature availability may depend on plan and region).

Once these prerequisites are satisfied, you can add and configure the AI step inside any eligible workflow.

How to Add the GPT Action in a GoHighLevel Workflow

Use the following steps to insert the GPT action into an existing or new workflow:

1. Open your workflows area

   Sign in to your GoHighLevel account and navigate to the sub-account where you want to add automation. Open the Workflows section from the left-hand menu.

2. Create or edit a workflow

   Select an existing workflow to modify, or click to create a new one. Ensure your trigger is set up first (for example, form submission, pipeline stage change, or new opportunity).

3. Add a new action

   Inside the workflow builder, click the plus icon (+) where you want to insert the GPT step. This determines when AI will run in the automation.

4. Choose the GPT action

   From the list of available actions, locate and select the GPT-powered option. This adds a configurable AI step to your workflow path.

Configuring the GPT Action in GoHighLevel

After inserting the action, you must configure the text generation prompt and options. The GPT configuration usually includes the following elements:

1. GoHighLevel GPT Prompt Setup

The prompt tells the AI exactly what to do. In GoHighLevel, you can write a custom prompt that includes static text and dynamic fields from contact records or events.

Examples of prompt patterns:

• “Write a friendly email reply to this customer based on their last message: {{contact.last_message}}”
• “Summarize this conversation in three bullet points: {{conversation_thread}}”
• “Create a social media caption about our new product for {{contact.first_name}}”

Use merge fields to pass in relevant data, and keep the instructions clear and specific so the output is easy to use in later steps.

2. GoHighLevel GPT Output Settings

Some GPT configurations let you define how the output is used within the workflow. Typical options may include:

• Selecting the field or variable where the AI-generated text is stored.
• Specifying maximum length or style guidelines in the prompt.
• Choosing how the result feeds into the next action, such as an email or SMS step.

By mapping the output correctly, you can reuse the AI-generated content across multiple workflow actions.

3. GoHighLevel GPT Testing and Preview

Before going live, it is important to test the GPT action. In GoHighLevel you can typically:

• Run the workflow on a test contact record.
• Review the AI-generated text output.
• Adjust your prompt wording if the result is not accurate or on-brand.

Iterate on your prompt until the AI behavior matches your expectations for tone, length, and level of detail.

Using GPT Responses in Later GoHighLevel Actions

Once the GPT output is generated and stored, you can connect it to later workflow steps inside GoHighLevel. Common patterns include:

• Email steps that insert the generated text into the email body or subject line.
• SMS steps that send concise responses written by GPT.
• Note or task creation where summaries or recaps are logged into the contact record.

Always verify where the text is stored within the workflow so you are referencing the correct variable or field in your messages.

Best Practices for GPT Prompts in GoHighLevel

To get reliable outputs from the GPT workflow action, follow these prompt-writing tips:

• Be explicit about the goal (e.g., “Write a short, friendly reply”).
• Specify tone and format (e.g., “Use 3 bullet points” or “Use a professional tone”).
• Avoid including sensitive data in prompts.
• Keep prompts focused on one main task whenever possible.

Strong prompts lead to higher-quality, more predictable results and reduce the need for manual edits after automation runs.

Troubleshooting the GPT Workflow Action in GoHighLevel

If the GPT action does not behave as expected, try these checks:

• Confirm the workflow is active and the trigger is firing correctly.
• Verify that the GPT feature is enabled for the sub-account.
• Check that your prompt uses valid merge fields and does not contain syntax errors.
• Review any error messages or logs shown within the workflow builder.
