GoHighLevel Coupon Code Expired Workflow Guide

If you are moving from ClickUp task lists to automated campaigns, understanding how to use the GoHighLevel coupon code expired trigger will help you manage promotions cleanly and automatically. This guide walks you step by step through enabling the trigger, configuring it in workflows, and using it in your marketing automations.

The instructions and behavior described here are based directly on the official documentation at this GoHighLevel help article. Follow each section in order to avoid common setup issues.

What the GoHighLevel Coupon Code Expired Trigger Does

The coupon code expired trigger in GoHighLevel activates when a specific coupon has passed its expiration time or date. Once fired, the associated workflow can:

  • Send reminder or win-back emails
  • Update contact tags or custom fields
  • Notify your internal team about expired promotions
  • Move contacts to new offers or sequences

Unlike event-based triggers tied to form submissions or purchases, this GoHighLevel trigger is based on the expiration status of the coupon itself. That makes it ideal for time-limited promos, seasonal discounts, or flash sales.

Prerequisites Before Using the GoHighLevel Trigger

Before you add the coupon code expired trigger in GoHighLevel workflows, make sure the following are already set up:

  • A valid product or offer in your system
  • At least one coupon created with an expiration date or usage limit
  • Access to the workflow builder inside your sub-account
  • Appropriate permissions to edit automations

If the coupon does not have a defined expiration, this trigger will never activate, because GoHighLevel checks the coupon status against its configured end time or limit.

How to Enable the Coupon Code Expired Trigger in GoHighLevel

Use these steps to access and configure the trigger inside a workflow. Navigation labels may vary slightly depending on interface updates, but the logic remains the same.

Step 1: Open Workflows in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account for the specific sub-account you want to manage.
  2. From the left-hand navigation menu, click Automation.
  3. Select Workflows to open the list of existing automations.
  4. Create a new workflow or open an existing one in which you want to track coupon expiration.

Step 2: Add the Coupon Code Expired Trigger

  1. Inside the workflow builder, click Add New Workflow Trigger (or similar button at the top of the workflow canvas).
  2. From the trigger options, search for Coupon Code Expired.
  3. Select the Coupon Code Expired trigger type to attach it to the workflow.

Once selected, GoHighLevel will show configuration options related specifically to how and when the coupon expiration should be evaluated.

Step 3: Configure Trigger Conditions in GoHighLevel

After adding the coupon code expired trigger, set its conditions precisely to avoid firing for the wrong promotions.

  1. Choose the Coupon
    • Pick the specific coupon or coupons that will be monitored for expiration.
    • If available, you may select a group of coupons related to a campaign.
  2. Define Expiration Logic
    • Confirm whether the trigger is based on date, usage count, or both.
    • Ensure the coupon has a valid end date or usage limit in your GoHighLevel settings.
  3. Set Any Additional Filters
    • Apply filters such as pipeline, contact tags, or locations if needed.
    • This ensures your workflow only acts on relevant records.

When this configuration is complete, GoHighLevel listens for the moment the coupon meets the expiration criteria and then starts the workflow for the associated records or contacts.

Building a Workflow Around the GoHighLevel Coupon Expired Trigger

Once the trigger is in place, you can build automation steps that respond intelligently to the expiration event.

Common Actions After Coupon Expiration

  • Send a follow-up email to explain that the coupon has expired and present an alternative offer.
  • Notify your sales team using internal notifications or tasks so they can follow up manually.
  • Update CRM data by tagging contacts as “Expired Offer” or moving them to a different stage in your pipeline.
  • Start a new promotion sequence for those who missed the original discount.

Example GoHighLevel Workflow Structure

  1. Trigger: Coupon Code Expired.
  2. Wait Step (Optional): Delay a few minutes to allow any last-minute system updates.
  3. Condition: Check if the contact has purchased despite the coupon expiration.
  4. Branch 1 (Purchased):
    • Add tag such as “Purchased After Expired Coupon”.
    • Send a short confirmation or appreciation message.
  5. Branch 2 (Did Not Purchase):
    • Send an email acknowledging the expired coupon.
    • Offer a new incentive (smaller discount, bonus content, or consultation).
    • Update contact stage to a follow-up list.

This type of structure keeps your messaging accurate while staying fully automated within GoHighLevel.

Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Coupon Expiration

To keep your campaigns clean and compliant, follow these recommendations.

Keep Coupon Data Accurate

  • Always set a clear expiration date or usage limit for each coupon.
  • Avoid re-using the same coupon code across unrelated campaigns.
  • Document coupon details in your internal SOPs or project management system.

Align Messaging With Real Expiration

  • Ensure your email and SMS templates accurately describe when the discount ends.
  • Update your website or sales pages so they match your GoHighLevel coupon settings.
  • Test each flow to verify that the coupon expired trigger fires when expected.

Test the GoHighLevel Workflow Thoroughly

  1. Create a test coupon with a short expiration window.
  2. Attach it to your workflow with the coupon code expired trigger.
  3. Use a test contact to go through the funnel.
  4. Wait for the coupon to expire and confirm that all workflow steps execute correctly.

Testing ensures the automation runs as documented in the official GoHighLevel help article and limits surprises when running live promotions.

Troubleshooting the GoHighLevel Coupon Code Expired Trigger

If the workflow is not activating, use this checklist:

  • Verify that the coupon actually has an expiration date or usage limit.
  • Confirm the trigger is Published and the workflow is turned on.
  • Check that the correct coupon is selected in the trigger conditions.
  • Review filters that may be too strict (such as tags or location filters).
  • Compare your setup with the configuration described in the official article at GoHighLevel Support.

If issues persist, capture screenshots of your workflow and submit them to platform support for review.
