Using GPT-5 in GoHighLevel Workflows

If you use tools like ClickUp to manage your tasks, you can also streamline AI content creation by enabling GPT-5 directly inside GoHighLevel workflows. This guide explains how to turn on GPT-5 at the account level, how to control its usage when sending prompts to OpenAI, and how to configure it in both the new Workflow Actions system and the legacy automation actions.

The instructions below are based strictly on official documentation so you can safely start using GPT-5 in GoHighLevel without guesswork.

What Is GPT-5 in GoHighLevel?

GPT-5 is an advanced OpenAI model that can generate natural language responses for your automations. Inside GoHighLevel, GPT-5 is used when you send prompts through OpenAI-related workflow actions. You control whether GPT-5 or another model is used for each prompt by updating your workflow steps.

Before workflow actions can access GPT-5, it must be enabled on the account. Once activated, you can select GPT-5 as the model when configuring applicable AI steps in your automations.

How to Enable GPT-5 in GoHighLevel

At present, the option to activate GPT-5 is not inside the normal settings area of GoHighLevel. Instead, account access to the model is provided by the team that manages the platform.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account as an admin user.

  2. Confirm that your plan includes AI and OpenAI usage features.

  3. Reach out to official support using the standard support channel for GoHighLevel.

  4. Request that GPT-5 be enabled for your account or sub-accounts as allowed.

Once GPT-5 is enabled on the backend, you can start selecting it in eligible workflow actions that send prompts to OpenAI.

GoHighLevel Workflow Actions That Use GPT-5

GPT-5 is not used automatically in every automation. Instead, it is available in specific workflow actions that interact with OpenAI. Within GoHighLevel workflows, GPT-5 can be selected for:

  • New Workflow Actions that send AI prompts to OpenAI-based models.

  • Legacy AI automation actions that were created before the latest workflow system.

Whenever an action supports OpenAI models, you will see a model selection field. After GPT-5 is enabled for your account, that field allows you to choose GPT-5 as the model used for your prompts.

How to Use GPT-5 in New GoHighLevel Workflow Actions

The latest workflow builder in GoHighLevel provides a modern interface for adding AI steps. To use GPT-5 within new workflow actions, follow these general steps.

Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Workflow Builder

  1. In GoHighLevel, navigate to the automation section.

  2. Select the workflow you want to edit, or create a new workflow.

  3. Open the workflow builder so you can add or modify actions.

Step 2: Add an AI Action That Supports GPT-5

  1. Click to add a new action in the workflow canvas.

  2. Choose an AI or OpenAI-related action from the action list. The exact label may vary, but it will be one of the actions that sends a prompt to an OpenAI model.

  3. Place the action in the correct position in your workflow sequence.

Step 3: Select GPT-5 as the Model in GoHighLevel

  1. Within the action settings, locate the model or OpenAI model dropdown.

  2. Open the dropdown to view the available models enabled for your GoHighLevel account.

  3. Select GPT-5 as the model.

  4. Save or apply the settings to ensure GPT-5 is used when this action runs.

After saving, the workflow will call GPT-5 whenever that particular action executes, as long as GPT-5 remains enabled on the account.

Step 4: Configure Prompts and Variables

  1. Add your AI prompt content to the action, such as instructions for writing, summarizing, or replying.

  2. Insert workflow variables where needed, for example contact details or message text.

  3. Check token limits and any AI usage constraints specified in GoHighLevel.

  4. Save the entire workflow so your changes are active.

Using GPT-5 in Legacy GoHighLevel Automation Actions

If you still rely on legacy automation actions in GoHighLevel, GPT-5 can usually be applied without rebuilding entire workflows. Instead, you update the model selection in the existing AI steps.

Step 1: Open the Legacy Automation

  1. Go to the legacy automations or old workflow area in GoHighLevel.

  2. Select the automation that already includes AI or OpenAI prompts.

  3. Open the editor for that automation.

Step 2: Edit AI Actions to Use GPT-5

  1. Locate each AI step that sends content to OpenAI.

  2. Click to edit the step settings.

  3. Find the model selection field used in legacy GoHighLevel actions.

  4. Change the selected model from the previous version to GPT-5.

  5. Save the step, then repeat for any other AI actions where you want GPT-5 to run.

By updating the model selection, your existing legacy workflows can start leveraging GPT-5 without changing triggers, filters, or other logic.

Best Practices for GPT-5 Prompts in GoHighLevel

To get consistent results from GPT-5 in GoHighLevel, structure your prompts clearly and keep them focused on a single task. Consider these tips:

  • Write short, specific instructions instead of long multi-task prompts.

  • Include the desired tone of voice, length, and format when helpful.

  • Use merge fields or variables to pass in contact data or previous messages.

  • Test prompts with different sample inputs before rolling out to all leads.

Remember that every call to GPT-5 consumes AI resources, so refine your prompts to avoid unnecessary or redundant generations inside GoHighLevel workflows.
