GoHighLevel Workflow Coupon Code Applied Trigger Guide
ClickUp users who are moving their automation processes into GoHighLevel often need precise control over funnel purchases and discounts. This guide explains exactly how to use the Coupon Code Applied workflow trigger in GoHighLevel so you can fire automations the moment a coupon is used on an order form.
The instructions below are based on the official documentation and walk you step by step through configuration, options, and common use cases.
What the GoHighLevel Coupon Code Applied Trigger Does
The Coupon Code Applied trigger in GoHighLevel activates a workflow when a specified coupon is used on a linked funnel step. It is designed for order form pages where customers enter a coupon code during checkout.
When the defined coupon is successfully applied, GoHighLevel immediately enrolls the contact in the selected workflow so you can automate follow-up, tagging, notifications, and more.
Requirements for Using the GoHighLevel Coupon Trigger
Before you configure this trigger, make sure these conditions are met inside your account:
- You are using a funnel with an order form step.
- The order form allows customers to enter a coupon code at checkout.
- You have created at least one coupon in your funnel product settings.
- You have access to the Workflows tool in GoHighLevel.
If any of the above are missing, set them up first so the trigger can detect when a coupon is applied.
How to Create a Workflow in GoHighLevel
Start by creating or opening the workflow where you want to use the coupon-based trigger.
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Navigate to Automation > Workflows.
- Click + New Workflow or open an existing workflow.
- If creating a new one, choose a blank workflow to configure the trigger manually.
Once you are inside the workflow builder, you can add the specific trigger that reacts when a coupon code is applied.
Adding the Coupon Code Applied Trigger in GoHighLevel
Follow these steps to add and configure the trigger:
- In the workflow builder, click Add Trigger.
- Search for and select Coupon Code Applied.
- The trigger panel will open on the right side with its settings.
This dedicated trigger lets GoHighLevel watch for coupon usage on a particular funnel step and respond automatically.
GoHighLevel Trigger Settings Explained
Within the Coupon Code Applied trigger, you will see several configuration options. Each one controls when the workflow starts.
1. Select the Funnel
First, choose the funnel that contains the order form where the coupon will be used.
- Click the Funnel dropdown.
- Select the specific funnel you want to monitor.
The trigger will only detect coupons applied inside this chosen funnel.
2. Select the Funnel Step
Next, specify the exact step that includes the order form:
- Use the Funnel Step dropdown.
- Pick the order form step where customers enter their coupon code.
This ensures GoHighLevel only fires the workflow when the code is applied on the correct page.
3. Turn on the Coupon Code Applied Filter
The trigger includes a dedicated filter to check whether a coupon has actually been applied.
- Locate the Coupon Code Applied filter within the trigger.
- Toggle it to Yes so the workflow only runs when a code is successfully applied.
Without this filter, other order form actions may activate the workflow even if no coupon was used.
4. Choose Specific Coupon Codes (Optional)
You can narrow down the trigger so it only runs for selected coupons:
- Add a condition for Coupon Code.
- Enter or select the relevant coupon names or codes.
This is helpful if you run multiple promotions and want different workflows for each discount. If you leave this open, the trigger will respond to any code applied on that order form step.
Testing the Coupon Code Applied Trigger in GoHighLevel
After configuring the trigger, test it to confirm everything works as expected.
- Publish or save your workflow in GoHighLevel.
- Open the live funnel order form in a browser.
- Fill out the form with test contact details.
- Enter the coupon code that should activate the workflow.
- Complete the checkout process.
Then, go back to the workflow and confirm that the test contact was added. If the contact appears in the workflow history, the coupon code applied trigger is functioning correctly.
Practical Automation Ideas with GoHighLevel Coupon Triggers
Once your trigger is active, you can build useful automations, such as:
- Send a confirmation email when a discount is used.
- Tag contacts with a specific promotion tag for tracking.
- Send internal notifications to your sales team about discounted purchases.
- Start a post-purchase upsell sequence for coupon users.
Each of these actions can be added as steps beneath the Coupon Code Applied trigger within the same workflow.
Tips for Managing Coupon-Based Workflows in GoHighLevel
To keep your automations organized and reliable, use these best practices:
- Name workflows clearly to indicate they relate to coupon codes and funnels.
- Document coupon names and which workflow they connect to, especially during large promotions.
- Limit trigger overlap by ensuring only one workflow uses a specific funnel step and coupon combo.
- Monitor performance by checking workflow stats to see how often each coupon-based sequence runs.
