How to Use the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Workflow Trigger
The GoHighLevel workflow system makes it easy to automate actions after a customer completes a purchase, even if you organize your tasks in tools like ClickUp. In this guide, you will learn how to set up and use the Order Submitted trigger in GoHighLevel so your workflows run automatically whenever a payment is successfully processed in a funnel or website.
What the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger Does
The Order Submitted trigger in GoHighLevel starts a workflow when a customer successfully submits an order form. This is tied directly to a successful payment event, not just a form submission.
Key points about this trigger:
- It fires only after a successful payment is completed.
- It works on both funnels and websites built in GoHighLevel.
- It can be configured to include or exclude specific pages and products.
This trigger is ideal for follow-up automation such as confirmation emails, tagging contacts, assigning users, or moving customers into upsell or onboarding sequences.
Where the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger Works
The Order Submitted trigger is available in two main areas of GoHighLevel:
- Funnels with order forms attached and payment successfully processed.
- Websites that contain an order form with a completed payment.
As long as the order form is part of a funnel or website and the payment is successful, the GoHighLevel workflow can be triggered.
How to Create a Workflow with the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger
Follow these steps to build a workflow using the Order Submitted trigger in GoHighLevel:
Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Workflows Area
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Navigate to Automation or Workflows, depending on your interface version.
- Click Create Workflow or open an existing workflow where you want to add the trigger.
Step 2: Select the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger
- Inside the workflow builder, click Add Trigger.
- From the trigger list, choose Order Submitted.
- Confirm the selection so the trigger is added at the top of the workflow.
At this point, the workflow will be configured to listen for successful orders, but you still need to define where and for which products it should run.
Configuring GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger Filters
The Order Submitted trigger offers several filters to help you control exactly when the GoHighLevel workflow starts. These filters allow you to narrow down the trigger to specific funnels, pages, and products.
Funnel Filter (Optional)
The Funnel filter is optional and lets you make the trigger fire only when the order comes from a particular funnel.
- Leave it blank to allow the trigger to work for all funnels and sites that use an order form.
- Select a specific funnel if you want the workflow to start only when an order is submitted through that funnel.
Use this when you have multiple funnels but the workflow should only apply to one of them.
GoHighLevel Page Filter
The Page filter is where you decide whether the trigger runs based on:
- All pages that have an order form, or
- Specific pages only.
Available options include:
- All Pages – the workflow triggers for successful orders on any page that contains an order form.
- Specific Page – you pick a single page where the trigger can fire.
- Other page-selection options may be available depending on your GoHighLevel interface, but the purpose is always to control where orders can start the workflow.
This is useful if a funnel has multiple pages with order forms and you only want the workflow to start from the main checkout page, not from upsell or downsell steps.
GoHighLevel Product Filter (Optional)
The Products filter is optional and lets you specify which products should activate the workflow when the order is submitted.
Typical setups include:
- No product filter – the workflow triggers whenever any product is purchased on the selected pages.
- Single product – the workflow starts only if a specific product is included in the order.
- Multiple products – you can choose several products to match; orders containing any of them will start the workflow.
This is powerful when your GoHighLevel funnel sells multiple offers but only some of them should enter a particular automation.
Example Uses for the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger
Once configured, the Order Submitted trigger can launch many types of automation in GoHighLevel, including:
- Sending a purchase confirmation email.
- Applying tags to segment the new buyer.
- Adding the contact to a membership or course area.
- Starting a post-purchase nurture sequence.
- Creating tasks for your team in a CRM or project management system.
Because the trigger is based on successful payment, you can be confident that only paying customers enter these workflows.
Testing Your GoHighLevel Order Submitted Workflow
Before using the workflow in a live environment, test the setup to confirm the trigger works as expected.
Basic Testing Steps
- Set the workflow to Draft or ensure it is not affecting real customers.
- Use a test payment method or a low-cost product in your GoHighLevel funnel.
- Submit an order from the correct page and product.
- Check the workflow history or contact activity to verify the trigger fired and actions ran successfully.
If the workflow doesn’t start, review the funnel, page, and product filters to confirm they match the order you submitted.
Best Practices for Using the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger
- Keep filters simple at first, then refine them as you confirm behavior.
- Document which funnels and products each workflow is connected to, so your team can maintain automation easily.
- Avoid overlapping workflows that use the same trigger and filters unless you intentionally want multiple automations to run from the same order.
- Monitor performance after launch to make sure buyers receive the intended emails and follow-ups.
