Airtable Workflows in GoHighLevel

Connecting Airtable to GoHighLevel workflows lets you automate data updates much like you would with tools such as ClickUp, but directly inside your CRM automation engine. This guide walks you step by step through enabling the Airtable integration, creating triggers and actions, and mapping fields so your records stay perfectly in sync.

Before you begin, you will need an Airtable account, a GoHighLevel account with workflow access, and at least one Airtable base and table ready to receive or send data.

Enable the Airtable Integration in GoHighLevel

First, you must connect Airtable to your GoHighLevel account so workflows can read and write data to your bases.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Navigate to the Settings area at the agency or sub-account level (depending on where you manage integrations).

  3. Locate the Airtable integration option.

  4. Click Connect or Authorize and sign in to your Airtable account if prompted.

  5. Grant GoHighLevel permission to access your Airtable bases and tables.

Once connected, you will be able to select Airtable bases, tables, and fields directly from workflow actions and triggers.

Understanding GoHighLevel Airtable Triggers

Triggers listen for events and start a workflow. With the Airtable integration, you can create GoHighLevel workflows that react when records are created or updated in your selected tables.

Available Airtable Triggers in GoHighLevel

  • Record Created – Starts a workflow when a new record is added to a specific Airtable table.

  • Record Updated – Starts a workflow when an existing record in a table is updated.

The exact naming and options may vary slightly based on product updates, but the general behavior is to listen to changes in your Airtable base and then run GoHighLevel workflow steps when those changes occur.

How to Add an Airtable Trigger in a GoHighLevel Workflow

  1. Open the desired sub-account in GoHighLevel.

  2. Go to Automation > Workflows.

  3. Create a new workflow or open an existing one.

  4. Click Add Trigger.

  5. Search for and select the Airtable-based trigger (such as Record Created).

  6. Choose the Airtable Base and Table you want to monitor.

  7. Apply any available filters or conditions (for example, only run when a particular field has a certain value).

  8. Click Save to finalize the trigger.

Now, whenever a matching event happens in Airtable, the GoHighLevel workflow will start automatically.

Using GoHighLevel Airtable Actions

Airtable actions in GoHighLevel let you create, update, or find records in your bases as part of an automated process. This is ideal for syncing form submissions, pipeline changes, or other CRM events back into Airtable.

Common Airtable Actions in GoHighLevel

  • Create Record – Add a new row to a specific table.

  • Update Record – Update an existing row in a table based on a record ID or matching value.

  • Find Record – Look up a record in a table using a search condition, then use its fields in later workflow steps.

How to Add an Airtable Action in a GoHighLevel Workflow

  1. Open your workflow in GoHighLevel.

  2. Click the + icon where you want the Airtable step to run.

  3. Select the Airtable action type (for example, Create Record).

  4. Choose the Airtable Base and Table to use.

  5. Map GoHighLevel fields (like contact name, email, or custom values) to matching Airtable columns.

  6. For update or find actions, specify the unique field or record ID used to locate the existing record.

  7. Click Save when your mapping is complete.

Each time the workflow reaches this step, GoHighLevel will run the selected Airtable action with the mapped data from your contact or custom workflow variables.

Field Mapping Between Airtable and GoHighLevel

Correct field mapping is essential for accurate data sync. When setting up actions and triggers, GoHighLevel displays Airtable fields so you can match them with CRM data.

  • Text fields in Airtable can map to most text-based values in your CRM, such as names, notes, and IDs.

  • Email fields should connect to contact email properties in GoHighLevel.

  • Number or Currency fields are ideal for mapping to amounts, scores, or order totals.

  • Date and DateTime fields can use workflow dates, event times, or timestamp fields from GoHighLevel.

If a field does not appear as expected, confirm it exists in the selected table and that your integration connection is authorized for that base.

Practical Automation Examples with GoHighLevel and Airtable

Once the integration is active, you can build powerful combined workflows. Here are a few ideas you can implement:

1. Send New Leads from GoHighLevel to Airtable

  1. Create a workflow in GoHighLevel triggered by a new contact or form submission.

  2. Add a Create Record Airtable action.

  3. Map the contact name, email, phone, and lead source to Airtable fields.

  4. Use Airtable to view and filter your leads in a spreadsheet-style dashboard.

2. Update Airtable When a Deal Stage Changes in GoHighLevel

  1. Trigger the workflow when a pipeline stage or opportunity status changes.

  2. Use a Find Record action in Airtable to locate the matching record by an ID field.

  3. Follow with an Update Record action to write the new stage or status into Airtable.

  4. Keep Airtable reports and dashboards aligned with your live CRM pipeline.

3. Start a GoHighLevel Workflow When Airtable Data Changes

  1. Create a workflow triggered by an Airtable event such as Record Updated.

  2. Select the base and table that hold the master data.

  3. Use the Airtable fields passed to the workflow to look up or create a contact in GoHighLevel.

  4. Send notifications, emails, or internal tasks whenever key records change in Airtable.

Troubleshooting Airtable and GoHighLevel Workflows

If your Airtable steps are not behaving as expected, walk through these checks:

  • Confirm the Airtable integration is still connected and authorized.

  • Verify the selected base and table exist and that you have access to them.

  • Check that field names have not changed since you created the workflow mapping.

  • Review workflow execution logs in GoHighLevel to see any Airtable error messages.

  • Ensure your triggers match the events you expect (for example, record created vs record updated).
