How to Use GoHighLevel If/Else Appointment Filter Options

In this guide, you will learn step by step how to configure appointment filters inside the If/Else workflow action in GoHighLevel. Even if your team also uses ClickUp for project management, these automation rules live entirely inside your GoHighLevel workflows and help you react intelligently to booked, confirmed, or missed appointments.

The instructions below are based on the official GoHighLevel documentation and walk you through every appointment filter option so you can build precise, reliable automations.

Where to Find If/Else Appointment Filters in GoHighLevel

To start using appointment-based filters in the If/Else action, you first need to open the correct workflow and locate the action.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to Automations > Workflows.
  3. Open the workflow where you want to add logic based on appointments.
  4. Click the plus (+) icon to add a new action.
  5. Select the If/Else action from the list.
  6. In the condition builder, choose the Appointments category to reveal appointment filter options.

Once you select the appointment category, you can apply several filters to evaluate appointments and send contacts down the correct workflow paths.

Overview of GoHighLevel Appointment Filter Options

The If/Else appointment filters in GoHighLevel let you build logic based on:

  • Whether an appointment exists or not
  • What calendar the appointment is booked on
  • The current appointment status
  • The count of appointments for a contact
  • The last appointment status

Each filter type can be combined with different operators such as equals, does not equal, greater than, or less than, depending on the context.

How to Use the “Appointment Exists” Filter in GoHighLevel

The Appointment Exists filter checks whether a contact has any appointment records that meet your criteria.

Steps to Set Up the Appointment Exists Filter

  1. Inside the If/Else condition, choose Appointments.
  2. Select the Appointment Exists filter.
  3. Choose the operator, usually is true or is false.
  4. Optionally, narrow down further with calendar or status filters as needed.

Use cases include:

  • Send contacts with an existing future appointment into a reminder sequence.
  • Send contacts with no appointment into a “book a call” follow-up sequence.

Filtering by Calendar in GoHighLevel If/Else

The Calendar filter lets you target appointments on specific calendars. This is particularly useful if you have separate calendars for sales calls, onboarding, or support sessions in GoHighLevel.

How to Configure Calendar-Based Conditions

  1. In the If/Else appointment filter group, choose Calendar.
  2. Select the appropriate operator, such as equals or does not equal.
  3. From the dropdown list, choose the exact calendar you want to filter on.
  4. Save the condition and connect the Yes/No branches of the If/Else action.

Example automations:

  • If Calendar equals Sales Demo, route the contact into a sales-prep email and SMS workflow.
  • If Calendar equals Onboarding, send the contact different pre-call instructions.

Using Appointment Status Filters in GoHighLevel

The appointment Status filter is one of the most powerful options in GoHighLevel. It allows you to branch workflows based on how an appointment is progressing.

Typical statuses include (exact names may vary by account configuration):

  • Scheduled
  • Confirmed
  • Showed
  • No-show
  • Cancelled
  • Rescheduled

How to Set Up Status-Based If/Else Conditions

  1. Within the appointment filter category, choose Status.
  2. Select the operator, such as equals or does not equal.
  3. Pick the status value you want to target.
  4. Save and connect the If/Else branches.

Practical examples:

  • If Status equals No-show, add the contact to a rebooking and recovery sequence.
  • If Status equals Showed, continue to a post-call follow-up workflow.
  • If Status equals Cancelled, send a quick message offering to reschedule.

Filtering by Appointment Count in GoHighLevel

The Appointment Count filter evaluates how many appointments a contact has. This can be either all-time or within a set of constraints, depending on how you stack filters in GoHighLevel.

How to Configure Appointment Count Filters

  1. In the appointment filter list, choose Appointment Count.
  2. Select an operator such as:
  • equals
  • does not equal
  • greater than
  • less than
  1. Enter the numeric value for the count you want to test.
  2. Save the condition.

Example conditions:

  • If Appointment Count equals 0, treat the contact as a first-time lead.
  • If Appointment Count greater than 3, send VIP or loyalty communication.

Using Last Appointment Status in GoHighLevel If/Else

The Last Appointment Status filter focuses on the most recent appointment for a contact. This is helpful when you want to respond to the latest activity only, rather than any appointment they may have had in the past.

How to Set Up Last Appointment Status Filters

  1. Select Last Appointment Status in the appointment filter category.
  2. Choose your operator, typically equals or does not equal.
  3. Select the desired status value, such as Showed, No-show, or Cancelled.
  4. Save and wire the Yes and No paths to the next steps in your workflow.

Example applications:

  • If Last Appointment Status equals Showed, trigger onboarding or sales handoff actions.
  • If Last Appointment Status equals No-show, send a reminder and a quick link to reschedule.

Best Practices for Building GoHighLevel Appointment Logic

To get the most value from appointment filters inside GoHighLevel workflows, follow these best practices:

  • Combine filters carefully: Use Appointment Exists with Calendar and Status together to target very specific conditions.
  • Avoid conflicting rules: Make sure one contact is not pulled into multiple overlapping workflows from the same appointment event.
  • Test every branch: Use test contacts and real bookings to confirm that each If/Else condition behaves as expected.
  • Document your logic: Keep notes or diagrams, possibly in tools like ClickUp, to track how each appointment condition is used.
