How to Add Email Templates to the GoHighLevel Template Library
If you use tools like ClickUp to organize your workflows, you will appreciate how the GoHighLevel template library centralizes and streamlines your email assets. This guide walks you through adding your existing email templates into the platform so your entire team can quickly reuse consistent, on-brand messaging.
By following the steps below, you will learn how to open any existing email, save it as a template, and access it later from the email template library within GoHighLevel.
Understanding the GoHighLevel Email Template Library
The email template library in GoHighLevel is a central place where you can store, manage, and reuse the email templates you build in the email builder. Instead of recreating similar messages for each campaign, you can save a properly designed email once and insert it wherever you need it.
This saves time, reduces errors, and keeps branding consistent for all users who have access to the same GoHighLevel account.
Prerequisites Before Adding Email Templates in GoHighLevel
Before you start adding templates to the library, make sure you have access and content ready:
- An active GoHighLevel account with permission to open and edit emails.
- At least one existing email already created in the email builder.
- Basic familiarity with navigating the Email or Marketing section of your GoHighLevel workspace.
Once these requirements are met, you can turn any existing email into a reusable template stored in the library.
Step-by-Step: Add Your Email Templates to GoHighLevel
Below is the complete process based on the official GoHighLevel documentation, adapted into clear, repeatable steps.
Step 1: Open the Email You Want to Save in GoHighLevel
Start by opening the existing email you want to convert into a template.
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Navigate to the section where your email is stored (for example: Campaigns, Broadcasts, or Email Marketing, depending on your setup).
- Locate and open the specific email you want to save into the template library.
Make sure this email is fully designed and tested because the version you save will be the one used as a template later in GoHighLevel.
Step 2: Access the Options Menu for the Email
Inside the email editor, you will use the built-in menu to save the message as a template.
- With the email open in the builder, look toward the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click on the three-dot menu icon (often shown as ⋮ or similar) to open additional options.
This options menu is where GoHighLevel provides controls like saving, previewing, and converting an email into a template.
Step 3: Save the Email as a Template in GoHighLevel
Once the options menu is open, you can add the email to your template library with a single command.
- From the three-dot options menu, click on Save as template.
- A confirmation may appear, or the system may save it directly, depending on your current version of GoHighLevel.
After you click Save as template, the platform stores that email layout and content in the email template library for future use.
Step 4: Confirm the Template Saved to the Library
To ensure everything worked correctly, you may want to confirm that the email appears in the template library in GoHighLevel.
- Return to the area where you normally choose templates for a new email or campaign.
- Open the template selector or template library view.
- Look for the email you just saved. It should appear as a template option.
If you need to update the content later, you can reopen the original email, adjust it, and again use the Save as template option in GoHighLevel to create a new or updated version.
Best Practices for Managing Templates in GoHighLevel
Once you begin saving multiple email templates, organization becomes important. Here are some best practices tailored for efficient use of the GoHighLevel template library:
- Use clear naming conventions: Include the purpose and audience in the template name, such as “Onboarding Welcome – New Leads”.
- Group templates by funnel stage: Consider separate templates for lead generation, nurturing, onboarding, and reactivation.
- Standardize branding: Make sure your header, footer, fonts, and colors are consistent across all templates in GoHighLevel.
- Test before saving: Always test links, personalization fields, and deliverability before using Save as template.
Organized templates help your team quickly choose the right email inside GoHighLevel without confusion or duplication.
Using GoHighLevel Templates in Future Campaigns
After you have added your templates to the GoHighLevel library, using them in new emails is simple.
- Create a new email or campaign in GoHighLevel.
- When prompted to choose a starting point, select the option to use an existing template.
- Browse or search your template library and select the saved template you need.
- Customize the text, images, or offer for the specific campaign while preserving the layout.
This approach allows you to maintain consistent structure and branding while still tailoring each message to the current offer or audience segment in GoHighLevel.
Troubleshooting Template Issues in GoHighLevel
If you do not see your template or something does not look right, consider the following checks:
- Verify the correct account or sub-account: Ensure you are in the same GoHighLevel account where the email was created and saved.
- Confirm save action: Reopen the original email and repeat the Save as template process.
- Check permissions: Make sure your user role has access to the email builder and templates.
Most issues are resolved by repeating the save action or switching to the correct GoHighLevel sub-account or workspace.
