GoHighLevel Workflow Execution Logs & Enrollment History

If you manage complex automations in tools like ClickUp and GoHighLevel, understanding execution logs and enrollment history is essential for troubleshooting. This step-by-step guide explains how to use the improved workflow logs inside GoHighLevel so you can quickly find why a contact did or did not receive a specific action, email, or SMS.

The features covered here mirror the official documentation from GoHighLevel’s workflow logs article, restructured as a clear how-to tutorial.

What Are GoHighLevel Workflow Execution Logs?

Execution logs in GoHighLevel show a contact’s journey through a workflow. They record each action, wait step, decision, or error the system encounters while processing that contact.

You can use these logs to:

• See which steps have already run for a contact
• Identify why a particular action did not trigger
• Verify that conditions and filters are working as expected
• Check failed actions and error messages

The enrollment history feature works alongside execution logs to show when and how a contact entered or re-entered a workflow in GoHighLevel.

How to Open Workflow Execution Logs in GoHighLevel

To start using execution logs, you must open them from inside a specific workflow in GoHighLevel.

Step 1: Navigate to the Workflow

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Go to the Automation or Workflows section, depending on your sidebar layout.
3. Click the workflow whose logs you want to inspect.

Step 2: Access the Logs Panel

1. Inside the workflow builder, look for the Logs or History option (often in the top bar or a side panel).
2. Click it to open the execution logs for that specific workflow in GoHighLevel.

You will now see a list of all contacts currently in the workflow or that have previously passed through it.

Understanding the GoHighLevel Logs Interface

The improved logs interface in GoHighLevel is designed to make debugging much faster. It typically includes:

• Contact list showing enrolled records
• Status indicators (active, completed, error, etc.)
• Timeline view of executed steps
• Execution details for each action or wait step

Key Columns and Statuses in GoHighLevel Logs

When viewing logs for a workflow, you may see columns such as:

• Contact – The name or email of the enrolled contact.
• Status – Whether the contact is still processing, finished, or encountered an error.
• Last Step – The most recent step executed.
• Last Updated – When the workflow last processed this contact.

Understanding these items helps you quickly spot which contacts need attention.

How to View a Contact’s Step-by-Step Path in GoHighLevel

The most powerful part of the execution logs is the detailed path view for a specific contact.

Open the Detailed Execution Path

1. From the workflow logs list, click on a specific contact.
2. A panel or new screen opens showing a step-by-step history of that contact’s journey inside the workflow in GoHighLevel.

Each step typically displays:

• The action type (e.g., send email, send SMS, wait, if/else)
• The exact date and time the step ran
• The outcome (success, skipped, or error)
• Any relevant error messages or reasons for skipping

Identify Why a Step Was Skipped or Failed

If a contact did not receive an expected message, use this process in GoHighLevel:

1. Locate the step in the detailed path.
2. Check whether it is marked as skipped or failed.
3. Open the step’s details to view conditions, filters, or error notes.

Common reasons for issues include:

• Contact did not meet a filter or condition
• Communication channel not available (e.g., missing phone number)
• Configuration errors in email or SMS settings

Using Enrollment History in GoHighLevel

Enrollment history explains when and how a contact entered or re-entered a workflow. This is particularly helpful when a contact appears multiple times in the execution logs.

View Enrollment History for a Contact

1. Open the workflow in GoHighLevel.
2. Go to the Logs view and select a contact.
3. Look for the Enrollment History section or tab.

Here you will typically see:

• Enrollment date and time
• Trigger that caused the enrollment (form submission, tag added, pipeline change, etc.)
• Re-enrollment instances, if allowed in the workflow configuration

Diagnose Multiple Enrollments in GoHighLevel

If a contact is enrolled more than once:

1. Review each enrollment record in the history.
2. Check which trigger fired each enrollment.
3. Confirm whether your workflow is intentionally configured to allow re-entry.

This helps you prevent duplicate communications or unwanted loops in your GoHighLevel workflows.

Best Practices for Troubleshooting with GoHighLevel Logs

Use the following best practices to get the most from execution logs and enrollment history in GoHighLevel.

1. Always Start with the Contact’s Timeline

When something goes wrong, open the specific contact in the workflow logs and read the chronological timeline. This instantly shows where the contact got stuck or skipped.

2. Check Conditions and Filters Carefully

If a step is skipped, examine all conditions related to that action. In GoHighLevel, missed messages are often caused by contacts not matching the required tags, custom fields, or funnels.

3. Confirm Channel Readiness

Ensure that:

• Phone numbers are valid for SMS or calls
• Email addresses are correct
• Required integrations are properly connected

Execution logs will often show errors if a channel cannot be used by GoHighLevel.

4. Monitor Re-Enrollment Rules

If your workflow allows contacts to re-enter, review enrollment history frequently. This prevents contacts from receiving the same sequence from GoHighLevel more times than intended.

5. Document Recurring Issues

Keep a short checklist of common errors you see in execution logs. Over time, you can standardize fixes and streamline your troubleshooting process.
