Configure Staff in GoHighLevel Services

ClickUp users who are moving to GoHighLevel for client scheduling often need a clear, step-by-step guide to connect staff members with services. This article explains exactly how to configure staff so the right team members appear as bookable options in your appointment and service workflows.

By following the steps below, you will make sure that each service in your account correctly displays the staff who can deliver it, helping clients book smoothly and avoiding scheduling errors.

What Staff Configuration Does in GoHighLevel

In GoHighLevel, services control how appointments are booked and which team members can be selected by a contact. Proper staff configuration ensures that:

• Only the correct staff are available for specific services.
• Calendars stay organized by team member or provider.
• Clients can choose their preferred staff when booking (if allowed).
• Internal users can easily manage workloads by staff.

This setup is especially important for agencies, clinics, salons, and any business where multiple providers deliver different services.

Accessing Services Settings in GoHighLevel

Before you can configure staff in services, you need to know where the services area is located in your GoHighLevel account.

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account with an admin or user role that has permission to edit calendars and services.
2. Navigate to the location where you manage your calendars and services.
3. Open the section where services are listed (often within calendar or appointment settings).

Once you see your list of services, you are ready to edit staff assignments for each one.

How to Configure Staff for a Service in GoHighLevel

Each service in GoHighLevel can be linked to one or more staff members. Use the following process to configure them.

1. Open the service you want to edit
   • Locate the specific service in your list.
   • Click on the service name to open its detailed settings.
2. Find the staff or team settings area
   • Inside the service editor, look for a section labeled Staff, Team, Users, or similar.
   • This is where you control which staff are assigned to that service.
3. Select the staff who can deliver this service
   • Use the available checkboxes, dropdowns, or selectors to choose one or more staff members.
   • Be sure to include every user who should appear as an option when this service is booked.
4. Confirm calendar and availability links
   • Verify that the selected staff members have active calendars or availability profiles.
   • Make sure calendar settings align with the service (duration, buffer times, and time slots).
5. Save your service configuration
   • Click Save, Update, or a similar button to store the changes.
   • Confirm there are no error messages before navigating away.

After saving, the service will be linked to the specific staff, and these users will be available for booking depending on your calendar and form settings.

Testing Staff Selection in GoHighLevel Services

Once staff are configured for a service, test how the booking flow works in GoHighLevel.

1. Open the public booking link
   • Use the live appointment or calendar link associated with the service.
   • Open it in an incognito or private browser window to see the client view.
2. Check staff visibility
   • Start the booking process for the configured service.
   • Verify that the correct staff members appear as options.
3. Test multiple scenarios
   • Try different dates and times to confirm staff availability is reflected properly.
   • If staff rotation or round-robin rules apply, confirm the system respects those rules.

If a staff member does not appear, double-check their assignment in the service, their calendar availability, and any location-based or team-based filters.
