How to Find GoHighLevel Pipeline and Stage IDs in Zapier

If you are moving from tools like ClickUp or other CRMs, understanding how to locate pipeline and stage IDs in GoHighLevel is essential for reliable automations. This guide walks you through each screen in Zapier so you can correctly map your GoHighLevel opportunities without guesswork or trial and error.

The steps below are based on the official GoHighLevel Zapier integration workflow and show you exactly where to find the internal IDs that Zapier expects when you create or update opportunities.

Why You Need GoHighLevel Pipeline and Stage IDs

When you build automations with Zapier, GoHighLevel pipelines and stages are not always displayed by name alone. Zapier frequently uses internal IDs to reference these objects. If you do not supply the right pipeline or stage ID, your opportunity may end up in the wrong place or the Zap may fail.

Finding the correct IDs allows you to:

• Send new leads directly into the right GoHighLevel pipeline
• Place opportunities into the correct stage for follow‑up
• Avoid hard‑coding values that break when pipelines change
• Maintain clean and predictable automations across your accounts

All of this is done inside Zapier while you configure your GoHighLevel actions.

Prerequisites for Using GoHighLevel with Zapier

Before you begin, make sure you have the following in place:

• An active GoHighLevel account with at least one pipeline configured
• Stages already set up within your chosen pipeline
• A Zapier account connected to your GoHighLevel location
• A Zap that includes a GoHighLevel action such as Create/Update Opportunity

Once these prerequisites are ready, you can easily locate the IDs that Zapier uses to communicate with GoHighLevel.

Step-by-Step: Finding GoHighLevel Pipeline ID in Zapier

Follow these steps inside your Zap to locate the pipeline ID that belongs to your GoHighLevel pipeline.

1. Open Your Zap and Add a GoHighLevel Action

1. Log in to your Zapier account.
2. Open an existing Zap or click to create a new one.
3. Choose a trigger app and event according to your workflow.
4. For the action step, select GoHighLevel as the app.
5. Pick an action event such as Create Opportunity or Update Opportunity.

After selecting the GoHighLevel action event, click Continue to move to the account and setup screens.

2. Connect Your GoHighLevel Account

1. In the Choose account section, connect your GoHighLevel account if you have not already.
2. Authorize Zapier to access the correct GoHighLevel location.
3. Click Continue to reach the Set up action screen.

This is the screen where you will see dropdown fields for pipeline and stage values that include the internal IDs.

3. Locate the Pipeline Field in the GoHighLevel Action

1. On the Set up action page, scroll to the field typically labeled Pipeline or Pipeline ID.
2. Click inside the field to open the available options.
3. Zapier will display a list of pipelines that belong to the connected GoHighLevel location.

Each option in this list usually shows a readable pipeline name along with the underlying ID that Zapier uses, or you may see an internal identifier in the value that Zapier stores.

4. Read the Pipeline ID from the Zapier Dropdown

When you expand the pipeline dropdown, Zapier reveals the values that will be sent to GoHighLevel. Depending on your account, you may see:

• The pipeline name followed by an ID in parentheses
• A structured JSON‑like value containing the pipeline ID
• An internal value that represents the selected GoHighLevel pipeline

To capture the pipeline ID:

1. Select the pipeline you want to use.
2. Hover or inspect the selected value to see the ID if it is not clearly visible in the label.
3. Note or copy the ID if you need to use it elsewhere, such as in filters, conditions, or documentation.

Because the information is drawn directly from the GoHighLevel API, this method ensures that the ID is accurate and current.

Step-by-Step: Finding GoHighLevel Stage ID in Zapier

Once you have identified the pipeline, you can repeat a similar process to locate the stage ID associated with that GoHighLevel pipeline.

1. Scroll to the Stage Field in the GoHighLevel Action

1. Remain on the same Set up action screen in your Zapier editor.
2. Look for a field labeled Stage or Stage ID.
3. Click on the dropdown arrow to load the stages.

Zapier will query your GoHighLevel account and list all stages that belong to the previously selected pipeline.

2. Select the Correct GoHighLevel Stage

1. Review the list of stages returned from your GoHighLevel pipeline.
2. Identify the stage name that matches where you want the opportunity to land (for example, New Lead, Qualified, or Won).
3. Click that option to select it for this Zap step.

As with the pipeline field, the selected option will include or map to the internal stage ID that Zapier uses.

3. Capture the Stage ID Value

To find the exact stage ID for reference:

• Inspect the value Zapier stores when the stage is selected.
• Look for any numeric or alphanumeric ID associated with that stage.
• Save that ID in your documentation or internal notes if you plan to reference it in additional GoHighLevel automations, conditions, or custom code.

This approach ensures that Zapier always sends the correct stage ID when creating or updating opportunities in GoHighLevel.

Tips for Managing GoHighLevel Pipelines and Stages in Zapier

To avoid confusion and maintain consistency across your automations, keep these tips in mind:

• Use clear names: Name your GoHighLevel pipelines and stages clearly so they are easy to recognize in Zapier dropdowns.
• Document IDs: Keep a simple reference sheet with pipeline and stage IDs for each GoHighLevel location.
• Test new Zaps: After mapping a pipeline and stage, run a test in Zapier to confirm the opportunity appears in the right place in GoHighLevel.
• Review changes: If you rename or delete pipelines or stages in GoHighLevel, review any affected Zaps and update fields if needed.
