How to Automatically Add Notes to Appointments in GoHighLevel

Updated March 3, 2025

Manually logging notes after every appointment creates gaps in your CRM and slows down your team. Using the Create Appointment Note workflow action in GoHighLevel, you can automatically attach structured notes to any appointment triggered by a status change, a booking event, or an inbound webhook.

Overview

We’ve added a new action to the Appointments category called “Create Appointment Note.” This feature enables you to seamlessly add notes to an appointment as part of a workflow.




Inputs

  • appointmentId (string) – Required when using inbound webhook trigger.
  • body (string, max length: 5000 characters) – The content of the appointment note.



How It Works

  • If you are using any appointment-based trigger (e.g., Appointment Status, Customer Booked Appointment), the appointment ID is not required. The note will be added to the appointment enrolled in the workflow.
  • If you are using an Inbound Webhook trigger, you must pass the appointment ID to ensure the note is added to the correct appointment.



How to Set Up


Action Name: Create Appointment Note


Steps to Use This Action

  1. Navigate to: Automations > Create New Workflow > Start From Scratch
  2. Add a Trigger:
    • Choose a trigger such as Inbound Webhook, Appointment Status, or Customer Booked Appointment.
  3. Add an Action:
    • Select Add Action > Create Appointment Note.
    • Enter an action name.



Configuring Inputs


If using an Inbound Webhook trigger:

  • Appointment ID: Add the appointment ID using this custom value:

  • {{inboundWebhookRequest.appointmentId}}

  • Note Body: Use the following custom value to add the note content:

  • {{inboundWebhookRequest.body}}

If using an Appointment-based trigger (Appointment Status or Customer Booked Appointment):

  • Appointment ID is not required.

  • Note Body: You can manually enter a custom note of your choice.



Important Considerations


  • If using Inbound Webhooks, ensure that the webhook payload includes both appointmentId and body for seamless functionality.

  • The body field has a maximum limit of 5000 characters.

This functionality enables businesses to seamlessly record appointment-related notes within automated workflows, minimizing manual work and enhancing overall organization.
