How to Manage Internal Team Tasks in GoHighLevel

Managing internal follow-ups in GoHighLevel is an excellent replacement for tools like ClickUp when you want tasks tied directly to contacts, opportunities, and pipelines. This guide walks you step by step through creating, assigning, and tracking internal tasks so your team never misses a critical action.

The instructions below are based on the official support documentation and show you how to configure tasks inside your sub-accounts, from basic setup to daily use.

What Are Internal Tasks in GoHighLevel?

Internal tasks in GoHighLevel are reminders or action items attached to specific records in your CRM. They help you organize what your team must do and when, without sending anything to the client.

You can attach a task to:

• A contact record
• An opportunity inside a pipeline
• A workflow step (for automation)

Each task can include a due date, an assigned user, and notes so your team has clear context on what needs to happen.

Where Internal Tasks Appear in GoHighLevel

After you create an internal task, it displays in several places inside GoHighLevel so team members can easily find and complete it. Typical locations include:

• The contact’s activity or timeline
• The tasks or activities section of a pipeline opportunity
• The user’s task list or activity views

This multi-location visibility keeps your team aligned and ensures important work stays in front of the right person.

How to Create Internal Tasks in GoHighLevel

You can create a task manually from a record or automatically using automation. The steps below focus on manual creation linked to contacts or opportunities.

Step 1: Open the Correct Sub-Account in GoHighLevel

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account as usual.
2. Select the sub-account where you want to track internal tasks.
3. Confirm you have the correct permissions to view and assign tasks to team members.

All tasks are stored inside a specific sub-account, so always verify that you are working in the right location before creating a new item.

Step 2: Go to the Contact or Opportunity

1. Navigate to Contacts or Opportunities in your GoHighLevel menu.
2. Open the record that needs a follow-up or internal reminder.
3. Review existing notes and activities so your task includes the correct context.

Creating tasks directly from these records keeps all related information in one place.

Step 3: Add a New Internal Task

1. Locate the Tasks or Activities area inside the contact or opportunity record.
2. Click the option to Add Task or Create Task.
3. Enter a clear and specific title, such as “Call prospect about proposal” or “Verify billing details.”

Make the task name action-focused so any teammate can understand what needs to happen without reading long notes.

Step 4: Set Task Details in GoHighLevel

Most internal task forms in GoHighLevel allow you to define several important attributes:

• Assigned user: Choose which team member is responsible.
• Due date and time: Set when the task must be completed.
• Priority (if available): Indicate urgency.
• Description or notes: Add context, links, or bullet points about what to do.

Carefully filling in these details helps prevent confusion and reduces the need for back-and-forth messages inside your team.

Step 5: Save and Confirm the Task

1. Click Save or Create to store your task.
2. Verify that the task appears in the task list for that contact or opportunity.
3. Check that the assigned user can see the task in their personal task view or dashboard.

Once saved, the internal task is now part of your team’s daily workflow inside GoHighLevel.

Using GoHighLevel Internal Tasks in Daily Operations

Internal tasks are most powerful when used consistently across your organization. Below are some ways teams commonly use them:

• Assign follow-up calls after new leads submit a form.
• Schedule account reviews or check-ins for existing clients.
• Create handoff tasks between sales and onboarding teams.
• Track administrative steps, such as contract reviews or invoice checks.

Because tasks are directly attached to contacts and opportunities, team members always have the full history at their fingertips.

Best Practices for Managing GoHighLevel Tasks

To keep your GoHighLevel environment clean and effective, follow these recommended practices when working with internal tasks.

Use Clear, Actionable Task Names

Short, direct names work best. For example:

• “Email proposal draft for review”
• “Confirm appointment details”
• “Update pipeline stage after client call”

This makes it easy to scan a long list of tasks and understand priorities at a glance.

Always Assign a Responsible User

Unassigned tasks quickly get ignored. Every internal item in GoHighLevel should have a specific owner to ensure accountability and timely completion.

Set Realistic Due Dates

Use due dates to manage workload and prevent last-minute rushes. When delegating, agree with the assignee on timing so the date in the system matches real expectations.

Close or Update Tasks Promptly

Encourage your team to:

• Mark tasks as completed when finished.
• Update notes with outcomes or next steps.
• Change due dates if priorities shift.

Keeping tasks up to date gives managers a reliable view of current progress.

Automating Internal Tasks in GoHighLevel

Beyond manual creation, you can automate internal task creation through the platform’s automation features so your team always receives the same follow-up actions for repeatable processes.

Typical automation triggers include:

• New lead added to a pipeline
• Form submission or survey response
• Appointment booked or rescheduled
• Opportunity moved to a new stage

Each automation can create an internal task, assign it to the correct user, and set a relative due date (for example, one day after the trigger event).

Training Your Team on GoHighLevel Internal Tasks

Rolling out internal tasks requires clear training so every user knows how to interact with them. Consider the following rollout approach:

1. Explain the purpose of internal tasks and how they support your workflow.
2. Demonstrate creating, assigning, and completing a sample task.
3. Show users where to find their personal task lists and daily priorities.
4. Define clear rules for when and how tasks should be used across departments.

A structured launch helps your team adopt the system quickly and reduces miscommunication.
