GoHighLevel Course Custom Values

If you are organizing course content across tools like ClickUp and GoHighLevel, understanding course custom values will help you keep lessons dynamic and easy to update. In GoHighLevel, custom values let you insert reusable placeholders for links, text, and other data across your course and membership assets.

This how-to guide explains exactly how to create and use these custom values for courses so you can manage changes in one place instead of editing every individual lesson.

What Are GoHighLevel Course Custom Values?

Course custom values in GoHighLevel are placeholders that automatically pull in data you define at the course level. When you insert these values in lessons, pages, or communication, GoHighLevel replaces them with the stored information at display time.

Typical uses include:

• Adding a standard support email or contact link across all lessons
• Maintaining a single URL for your main course dashboard
• Displaying the same intro or disclaimer text in multiple modules
• Referencing a shared file link (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) in many lessons

By setting these once, you avoid editing every lesson when something changes, which is especially valuable in larger GoHighLevel course builds.

Where Course Custom Values Appear in GoHighLevel

Course custom values are tied directly to a specific course in your GoHighLevel account. You manage them from the course settings area, and then use them inside lessons and other course-related content.

They can typically be inserted anywhere GoHighLevel allows custom values, such as:

• Lesson content editors
• Course descriptions or welcome sections
• Membership site pages linked to the course
• Automations or workflows that send course-related messages

This makes course custom values a central tool for consistent branding and messaging.

How to Access Course Custom Values in GoHighLevel

To work with course custom values, first navigate to the course you want to configure in GoHighLevel. Then follow the steps below.

Step 1: Open Your Course in GoHighLevel

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Go to the Sites or Membership area, depending on your account layout.
3. Locate the specific course you want to edit.
4. Click to open the course so you can access its settings.

Each course has its own dedicated set of custom values, so repeat these steps for any additional courses you manage.

Step 2: Locate the Course Custom Values Section

Inside the course configuration area, look for the section labeled for course-level custom values or course variables. This section lists all values already associated with that course.

From here, you will be able to:

• See existing course custom values
• Create new values specific to the course
• Edit or remove values you no longer need

The exact field labels may vary with interface updates, but the function remains the same across GoHighLevel implementations.

Creating New GoHighLevel Course Custom Values

Once you have opened the correct course, use these steps to create new course custom values in GoHighLevel.

Step 3: Add a New Course Custom Value

1. In the course custom values section, click the option to Add or Create a new value.
2. Enter a clear name for the custom value. Choose a label that describes its purpose, such as Course Dashboard URL or Standard Support Text.
3. In the value field, enter the exact text, URL, or content you want to reuse in the course.
4. Save your changes to create the new course custom value.

After saving, this new entry will appear in your list of available custom values for that course.

Step 4: Edit or Update Existing Course Custom Values

To change an existing course custom value:

1. Find the value in your course custom values list.
2. Click to edit the entry.
3. Adjust the name or content as needed.
4. Save the update.

Any place where that course custom value is used will automatically reflect the new content once updated, which is a key advantage of managing courses inside GoHighLevel.

Using GoHighLevel Course Custom Values in Lessons

After you create your course custom values, the next step is using them inside your lesson content and other course assets.

Step 5: Insert Course Custom Values into Lesson Content

1. Open the specific lesson inside your GoHighLevel course.
2. Place your cursor in the content editor where you want the dynamic value to appear.
3. Use the editor’s custom value picker (often labeled as Custom Values or similar).
4. Select the relevant course custom value from the list.
5. Save the lesson.

When students view the lesson, GoHighLevel will automatically replace the placeholder with the defined value, such as your course dashboard link or standard help text.

Step 6: Reuse the Same Value Across Multiple Lessons

Repeat the insertion process in any other lessons that need the same information. Because the value is stored at the course level, you do not have to retype or manually update the content in every lesson.

This is particularly helpful for:

• Footer sections with the same call to action
• Links to course files or resources
• Uniform navigation back to a main module list

Best Practices for GoHighLevel Course Custom Values

To keep your GoHighLevel courses scalable and easy to maintain, follow these practical tips when working with course custom values.

Use Descriptive Names

Choose names that clearly explain what each course custom value does. For example:

• Course_Main_Dashboard_URL
• Course_General_Support_Email
• Course_Disclaimer_Text

Descriptive names make it easier to select the correct value in the editor, especially when your GoHighLevel account contains multiple courses.

Centralize Reusable Text

Any text or link you use more than once in a course is a good candidate for a custom value, including:

• Consistent branding statements
• Standard instructions that appear in each module
• Support and feedback contact details

By centralizing this content at the course custom values level in GoHighLevel, you reduce the risk of outdated or inconsistent information.

Update Values Before Relaunches

Prior to relaunching or updating a course, review your course custom values and confirm:

• All URLs are working correctly.
• Support information is current.
• Any time-sensitive text is still accurate.

Because these values feed multiple lessons, a quick review can prevent broken links and confusion.
