What if there’s a tool that can do the time-consuming yet important business processes for you?
It sounds like a dream, right?
But it’s possible with GoHighLevel Workflows. This feature allows you to set and forget tasks and build simple to advanced automation for your business. I’ve discussed it in detail in my other blog post here.
This tool is easy to use if you are familiar with other automation software. However, setting it up can be challenging if you don’t know where to start.
That’s where the platform’s pre-built templates can become helpful.

What Are GoHighLevel Workflow Recipes?
Like usual recipes that guide you through the cooking process, GoHighLevel Workflow Recipes are pre-built automation structures you can tweak to match your needs.
They are connected to an editable workflow dashboard, so you can add, modify, or remove any steps or actions.
I’m pretty sure GoHighLevel’s team will add more templates in the future. But now, it has around 23 free ones – accessible on all plans and sub-account dashboards.
And here’s a secret. GoHighLevel provides more workflow recipes if you use a GoHighLevel Snapshot template for your or your client’s business sub-account.
You’ll get six more useful marketing workflows.
If you can’t find the workflow you need, you may check third-party sites offering self-made recipes or workflow services. (More on this part later).

Third-Party Sites Offering GoHighLevel Workflow Recipes
I looked for sites that offer workflow recipes you can purchase and found two on Google.
The first one is HighLevel Shop. It offers four kinds of workflows, ranging from $40 to $80. HighLevel Shop’s “Support Ticket” caught my attention. I think it will be helpful for businesses that handle a high volume of customer inquiries and need an efficient management system.
Next is GetExtendly. However, unlike HighLevel Shop, it provides a complete snapshot that includes some GoHighLevel workflows like promotional and birthday offers.
Hiring someone is another great option if you don’t have the time to create workflows.
You can collaborate with someone from Fiverr, and they might be able to help you with other parts of your GoHighLevel process.

Choose one of your sub-accounts and go to the “Automations” tab.
Under the GoHighLevel “Workflows” tab, click “+Create Workflow” and choose “Select a Recipe” to build a new workflow.
GoHighLevel will show you all the available templates on one screen. Pick one and click “Select.”
Edit the name of your framework and start modifying or customizing steps if needed.
You can click the pre-made trigger to edit it or add a new workflow trigger to apply the same steps to another task.
You may also select an existing action step to add your content (i.e., add your booking link or message) or choose the “+” icon to include conditions or new steps.
Click “Save.” Then, hit “Test Workflow” and select your email address from the list.
