GoHighLevel Inbound Webhook Lead Management System

An automated GoHighLevel lead management workflow that captures inbound webhook data, cleans and normalizes payload fields with custom code, branches on whether a contact exists and whether their record is newer or older than 30 days, and handles tag updates, user assignment and email notifications.

Project Overview

This project implements an inbound lead management system built inside the GoHighLevel Advanced Workflow Builder. The workflow listens for inbound webhook payloads from external sources such as custom web forms, third-party lead aggregators or landing pages.

Once received, the raw data passes through a Custom Code node for structured JSON extraction and a Lower Case text formatter to normalize contact attributes such as email addresses. The workflow then queries the CRM using Find Contact to determine if the person is a brand-new prospect or an existing contact.

A conditional branch evaluates contact recency: if the existing lead was created before 30 days, the workflow updates contact fields, swaps tags and sends a re-engagement email; if within 30 days, it follows an alternate update and email sequence; and if no contact exists, it automatically creates the contact, applies the designated tag, assigns a sales rep and sends an instant welcome email.

Workflow Execution Sequence
1

Inbound Webhook Capture

Listens for incoming HTTP POST payloads containing lead contact details and source parameters.

2

Custom Code & Text Normalization

Executes custom JavaScript transformation on the root payload and applies lower-case formatting to standardize email strings.

3

CRM Contact Lookup

Queries the GoHighLevel CRM database with Find Contact to verify if the contact already exists or is new.

4

Recency Condition Evaluation

For matched contacts, checks whether Lead Created At is before 30 days to split older contacts from recent inquiries.

5

Field Updates, Tagging & User Assignment

Executes targeted actions: updates custom fields, removes old tags, adds current tags, assigns sales users and triggers email notifications.

Architecture

How the System Works

A deterministic automated path that ingests webhook payloads, standardizes lead data, checks CRM records, splits on 30-day recency and executes targeted tagging, user assignment and follow-up emails.
