Workflow Action in GoHighLevel- Go To

Overview

The “Go-To” event in Workflows lets you seamlessly move contacts from one step to another. This feature allows you to guide contacts to specific points in the workflow based on predefined triggers or conditions.

With the “Go-To” action, you can optimize your workflows, ensuring that each contact follows a personalized path tailored to their interactions and behaviors.

Action Name

Go To

Action Description

The “Go To” action allows you to redirect a contact to a different action within the workflow. This is particularly useful when you need to route the contact through an alternative branch or loop them back to previous actions if specific conditions aren’t met.

Keep in mind that the “Go To” action can only be placed at the end of a workflow or branch—it cannot be inserted between other actions.

How to Configure

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to Workflow Actions: Access the automation or workflow settings in your platform.

Example

Sending Emails to customers who have purchased the items

Scenario: An online retailer wants to re-engage customers who have not purchased the items and don’t want to send an email to the customers who have already bought.

Trigger Setup:

• Trigger: Abandoned Checkout
• Name: Abandoned Checkout
• Filters:
  • Duration (minutes): 10 (trigger the workflow if the cart is abandoned for more than 10 minutes)
  • Cart Value: Greater than 50 (trigger the workflow only if the cart value exceeds $50)

Workflow Actions:

1. Email Notification: Send a personalized email to the customer, reminding them of the items left in their cart and offering an incentive (e.g., discount).
2. Wait: Wait for 1 day
3. If/Else: Add if else condition to check if the user has “Purchased” tag. The contact will go through the first branch if the tag is present and the None branch if tag is not present.
4. Email (Branch 2): Send another email to the contact reminding them of the abandoned cart.
5. Wait (Branch 2): Add a wait step with a condition if tag added is “Purchased”
6. Go To (Branch 1): Add a Go to action that will take the contact directly to the wait step in the second branch

Outcome: This automation helps recover potentially lost sales by re-engaging customers who abandoned their carts and do not send an email to the customers who have already purchased the items.
