How to Use the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Workflow Trigger

The GoHighLevel workflow builder lets you automate actions the moment someone submits an order form in your funnel. Even if you use other tools like ClickUp to manage tasks, setting up this trigger correctly in GoHighLevel ensures orders are captured and processed automatically, without manual intervention.

This guide walks you step by step through configuring the Order Submitted trigger, choosing funnel sources, and applying filters so your automation runs only when and where you want it to.

What the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger Does

The Order Submitted workflow trigger in GoHighLevel fires when a contact submits an order form within a selected funnel. It is designed for automations related to purchases or order form submissions in your funnels.

Key points about this trigger:

• It works only with funnel pages that contain a GoHighLevel order form.
• It activates when the order form is submitted, not just when the page is visited.
• It can start workflows such as follow-up emails, internal notifications, or tagging contacts based on the order.

How to Add the Order Submitted Trigger in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to add and configure the Order Submitted trigger in a GoHighLevel workflow:

1. Open Automations
   Navigate to the Automations area in your GoHighLevel account.

2. Create or Edit a Workflow
   Either create a new workflow or open an existing one where you want to track order submissions.

3. Add a New Trigger
   Inside the workflow, click to add a new trigger, then search for and select Order Submitted.

4. Configure the Source
   In the trigger settings, you will need to specify where the order submission is coming from within GoHighLevel. This is usually a funnel or potentially any source, depending on your setup.

5. Apply Filters (Optional)
   Use filters to narrow down exactly which orders should fire the workflow. This can be based on funnel, step, or other criteria as shown in the settings.

6. Save and Activate the Workflow
   After configuring the trigger and adding actions, save and publish your workflow so it starts listening for order submissions.

Source Options for the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger

When setting up this trigger, you must define the Source. In GoHighLevel, the source determines from where the order submission is tracked.

Common GoHighLevel Source Choice: Funnel

The most common configuration is to use a Funnel as the source for the Order Submitted trigger.

When you select Funnel as the source, you can then specify:

• The exact funnel where the order form lives.
• One or more funnel steps that contain your order form.

This ensures the workflow only starts when a user submits an order on the selected funnel pages within GoHighLevel.

Funnel-Specific Filtering in GoHighLevel

Once the source is set to Funnel, you can refine the trigger further:

• By funnel — choose which funnel to monitor.
• By funnel step — limit the trigger to specific pages or steps within that funnel.

These funnel-level filters are very useful when you have multiple order forms and want each to trigger a dedicated workflow in GoHighLevel.

How to Add Filters to the GoHighLevel Order Submitted Trigger

Filters help you control when the trigger will actually fire. In GoHighLevel, you can add conditions so the Order Submitted trigger only starts the workflow under specific circumstances.

Steps to Add Filters in GoHighLevel

1. Open the Trigger Settings
   Click on the Order Submitted trigger within your workflow to open its configuration panel.

2. Locate the Filters Section
   Look for the Filters area inside the trigger settings. This is where you define conditions.

3. Choose Filter Conditions
   Add one or more conditions such as:

   • Specific funnel or funnel step.
   • Other available attributes exposed by the trigger configuration.

4. Save the Trigger
   Once you have set up your filters, save the trigger so it becomes active in the workflow.

The exact list of available filters is determined by the trigger type and the options provided within GoHighLevel. For the Order Submitted trigger, focus on funnel-related filters to keep your automation organized.

• Name triggers clearly
