Connect GoHighLevel to Google Postmaster Tools

Use this step-by-step guide to connect GoHighLevel email sending domains to Google Postmaster Tools. If you already manage projects in ClickUp or other platforms, this walkthrough will feel familiar and help you track deliverability performance with clear, organized steps.

By the end of this guide, you will have your domain verified in Google Postmaster and linked to your GoHighLevel email sending setup so you can monitor spam rate, reputation, and inbox health.

What You Need Before Connecting GoHighLevel

Before you start, make sure the following requirements are complete. These items are essential for successful verification in Google Postmaster Tools when using GoHighLevel.

  • Your email sending domain is already added and verified inside GoHighLevel.
  • SPF and DKIM records are correctly configured for the same domain.
  • You have access to the DNS manager for the domain (for example, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, or your hosting provider).
  • You have a Google account (Gmail or Google Workspace) to log into Google Postmaster Tools.

The domain that you verify in Google Postmaster must match the domain you use as the sending domain in GoHighLevel for transactional or marketing email.

Step 1: Open Google Postmaster for GoHighLevel Domains

First, you will open Google Postmaster Tools and sign in with your Google account. This is where Google tracks reputation and delivery for email domains used by services like GoHighLevel.

  1. Go to https://postmaster.google.com in your browser.
  2. Sign in with the Google account you want to use for monitoring.
  3. If this is your first time using Postmaster Tools, accept the terms to continue.

You will now see the main dashboard, which will later display domain-level stats such as spam rate, domain reputation, IP reputation, and feedback loop details for mail you send through GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Add a New GoHighLevel Sending Domain

Next, you will add your GoHighLevel sending domain inside Google Postmaster Tools.

  1. On the Postmaster dashboard, click the plus (+) icon or Add button to add a new domain.
  2. Enter the exact sending domain you use in GoHighLevel (for example, yourdomain.com).
  3. Click Next or Add after typing the domain.

Google Postmaster will now generate a DNS record for domain ownership verification. This record must be placed where your domain’s DNS is hosted.

Step 3: Verify Your GoHighLevel Domain in DNS

To link Google Postmaster Tools with your GoHighLevel email sending domain, you must verify the domain by adding a TXT DNS record.

  1. After adding the domain in Postmaster Tools, locate the TXT record value shown on the screen. It will look similar to:
    google-site-verification=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  2. Log in to your DNS provider where your GoHighLevel sending domain is hosted.
  3. Navigate to the DNS management area for the domain.
  4. Create a new TXT record with the following details:
    • Name / Host: @ (or leave blank if your provider indicates root by default)
    • Type: TXT
    • Value: Paste the exact google-site-verification string from Google Postmaster.
    • TTL: Use the default or 1 hour (3600 seconds) if you can choose.
  5. Save the DNS record.

DNS changes can take several minutes and sometimes up to 24 hours to propagate, depending on your provider. Do not remove this TXT record as it is used to maintain verification between Google Postmaster and your GoHighLevel sending domain.

Step 4: Complete Google Postmaster Verification for GoHighLevel

Once the TXT record is added, return to Google Postmaster Tools and complete the verification for your GoHighLevel domain.

  1. Go back to Google Postmaster Tools in your browser.
  2. On the newly added domain, click to open it or select the Verify option.
  3. Click the Verify button to let Google check your DNS.

If the DNS record has already propagated, your domain will show as verified. If verification fails, wait a bit longer and try again. Make sure the TXT record is on the correct domain and that there are no extra characters or spaces in the value.

How GoHighLevel Uses Google Postmaster Data

After verification, Google Postmaster will start collecting data based on the volume of email you send through GoHighLevel to Gmail and Google Workspace recipients. Typically, it can take a day or more for initial data to appear.

Within Google Postmaster, you will see metrics for the verified domain you use with GoHighLevel, including:

  • Spam Rate: Percentage of messages marked as spam by users.
  • Domain Reputation: Overall trust score of your domain.
  • IP Reputation: Reputation of the IPs sending email on behalf of GoHighLevel.
  • Feedback Loop: Complaints and user-reported spam from Gmail inboxes.
  • Authentication: DKIM, SPF, and DMARC pass rates.

These reports help you understand if campaigns or automations in GoHighLevel are causing spam issues and allow you to correct list quality, content style, or sending volume.

Best Practices When Using GoHighLevel with Google Postmaster

To maintain strong deliverability and good reputation scores, follow these best practices while sending from your verified GoHighLevel domain:

  • Only email contacts who have clearly opted in to receive messages.
  • Use consistent from-names and from-addresses related to your verified domain.
  • Keep email content relevant, concise, and easy to unsubscribe from.
  • Monitor spam complaint trends in Google Postmaster and adjust your segments in GoHighLevel accordingly.
  • Clean your lists regularly by removing invalid or inactive addresses.
  • Warm up new domains and IPs gradually when starting fresh GoHighLevel sending.

Aligning these best practices with the insights from Google Postmaster Tools strengthens the performance of your GoHighLevel email automations and campaigns.

Where to Manage Your GoHighLevel Domain Settings

If you need to update DNS or sending details later, you will manage them in two places:

Inside GoHighLevel

  • Confirm which domain is configured as your sending domain.
  • Check that SPF and DKIM records are correctly displayed and set up.
  • Ensure the From Email fields in campaigns and workflows use the verified domain.

Inside Your DNS Provider

  • Keep the Google Postmaster TXT verification record in place.
  • Maintain SPF, DKIM, and any DMARC records recommended for GoHighLevel.
  • Avoid changing or deleting records without confirming impact on email deliverability.

Any change you make to the domain or DNS can influence both how GoHighLevel sends email and how Google Postmaster interprets your reputation.
