GoHighLevel Array Functions Guide
If you are used to building advanced automations in tools like ClickUp and want similar power for CRM data, this guide will show you how to use GoHighLevel workflow array functions to transform and analyze complex data directly inside your workflows.
Array functions in GoHighLevel are a Premium workflow feature that let you perform calculations, filtering, and sorting on groups of values such as contact tags, opportunity data, or custom values returned by external actions. Instead of sending data out to another tool to process it, you can work with rich arrays right inside the platform.
This how-to article walks you through enabling the feature, understanding each function, and building practical workflows that rely on arrays to make better automation decisions.
Enable GoHighLevel Workflow Premium Features
Array functions are part of the Premium workflow tools in GoHighLevel. You must enable the Premium option in your account before you can use these functions inside the workflow builder.
- Log into your GoHighLevel account as an admin.
- Go to the automation or workflows area in your main left-hand menu.
- Open any workflow or create a new one to access workflow settings.
- Locate the Premium or advanced workflow features section.
- Enable Premium workflow features so that array functions and other advanced tools become available.
Once Premium is active, you will be able to configure and use array functions inside supported workflow actions.
Where GoHighLevel Array Functions Are Used
Array functions are available inside specific workflow actions where GoHighLevel needs to process lists of values. On the source help page, the examples focus on working with arrays returned by actions that produce multiple items or where you have custom arrays defined.
Typical use cases include:
- Refining lists of tags or custom values before saving them.
- Filtering data returned from external API calls configured in a workflow.
- Sorting numeric values to find the highest or lowest entries.
- Checking if arrays contain particular values and branching automation logic.
In each supported action, you will see options to apply one or more array functions to the data you are working with.
Core GoHighLevel Array Functions Overview
The GoHighLevel array functions allow you to work with lists of values in a structured way. Each function has a specific purpose and accepts certain input types. From the source page, the main functions include:
- Filter – Keep only items that meet a set of conditions.
- Map – Transform each item in the array into a new value.
- Reduce – Combine items into a single value such as a sum or concatenated string.
- Sort – Order array items based on numeric or string criteria.
- Find – Return the first item that matches a condition.
- Every / Some – Check if all or some items match a condition.
In practice, you may use several of these together in a single workflow step to clean, analyze, and transform data from one action before using it in the next.
How to Configure GoHighLevel Array Functions
When you open a supported workflow action, you will typically see a configuration block that lets you attach array functions to a selected array field.
- Select the workflow action that outputs or accepts an array, such as a custom value list or data from an external source.
- Look for an option labeled similarly to Array Functions or Apply Functions.
- Choose the array field you want to process from the dropdown list.
- Add one or more functions such as Filter, Sort, or Reduce.
- Set the conditions for each function using the visual configuration controls provided.
- Save and test the workflow to verify that the array output is correct.
The interface exposes conditional builders similar to other GoHighLevel workflow branches, making it easier to define rules without custom code.
Using the Filter Function in GoHighLevel
The Filter function allows GoHighLevel workflows to keep only array items that match specific rules. This is especially useful when working with values like lead scores, amounts, or status codes.
To use Filter:
- Open the workflow action that has the array field you want to filter.
- Under Array Functions, choose Filter.
- Select the property or value inside each array item that you want to evaluate.
- Set comparison operators such as equals, not equals, greater than, less than, contains, or does not contain.
- Optionally add multiple filter conditions and define whether all or any of them must match.
- Save your configuration. The resulting array will contain only items that pass these rules.
You can then use the filtered array downstream in the workflow for messaging, scoring, or routing logic.
Using the Map Function in GoHighLevel
The Map function lets GoHighLevel workflows transform each item in an array into a new structure. This is helpful when you need to normalize data or create derived values for later steps.
To configure the Map function:
- Select the array you want to transform in the workflow action.
- Choose Map from the list of available array functions.
- Define what the new value for each item should be, using fields or expressions exposed by the configuration interface.
- Save your changes so that the output array now reflects the transformed values.
You can chain Map after a Filter function to first narrow your data and then transform it.
Using the Reduce Function in GoHighLevel
The Reduce function takes an array of values and collapses it into a single result. In GoHighLevel, this is often used for calculations or summing up metrics.
General steps to use Reduce:
- Choose the numeric or text array you want to aggregate.
- Select Reduce as the array function.
- Pick the aggregation behavior, such as sum, minimum, maximum, or concatenation.
- If needed, provide an initial value for the reduction.
- Save and reference the resulting single value in subsequent workflow conditions or actions.
This is powerful for computing totals or scores before making a decision inside your automation.
Using Sort, Find, Every, and Some
Beyond Filter, Map, and Reduce, GoHighLevel includes additional array functions that help with ordering and evaluation.
- Sort – Configure ascending or descending order for values such as dates, numbers, or text.
- Find – Retrieve the first item that matches your condition; the workflow can then use its fields directly.
- Every – Check if all items in the array satisfy a particular rule.
- Some – Verify whether at least one item matches the condition.
These allow you to add rich conditional logic without leaving the GoHighLevel workflow builder.
Best Practices for GoHighLevel Array Workflows
To keep your workflows efficient and easy to maintain, follow these best practices derived from the source documentation and typical automation patterns:
- Start simple – Apply one array function at a time and test, then layer more complexity as needed.
- Document your steps – Use descriptive labels for workflow actions so you can quickly understand what each array function is doing.
- Validate output – Use test records and logging actions to confirm that arrays are filtered, mapped, or reduced correctly.
- Reuse logic – When possible, duplicate workflows or actions that already contain well-tested array functions.
Because array functions are part of the Premium feature set, they are designed for advanced automation builders who need precise control over data inside GoHighLevel.
