How to Connect Zapier to GoHighLevel (Step by Step)
Zapier and GoHighLevel work together well once you know two things: the app is called LeadConnector in Zapier, and it only has one trigger. Here's how to connect them, what you can automate, and how to send any other GoHighLevel event to Zapier.

Quick answer
Yes — Zapier connects to GoHighLevel through Zapier's LeadConnector app (LeadConnector is HighLevel's brand name). Add a LeadConnector connection in Zapier, sign in to your HighLevel account and grant access. The app has one trigger, Pipeline Stage Changed, and five actions: Add/Update Contact, Add/Update Opportunity, Add Lead to Workflow, Stop All Workflows for Lead, and Add Task. For any other GoHighLevel event, send it from a GoHighLevel workflow's Webhook action to a Zapier "Catch Hook" trigger.
How to connect Zapier to GoHighLevel
Connecting the account takes a couple of minutes:
- In Zapier, open Apps and choose Add connection
- Search for LeadConnector — searching for "GoHighLevel" can come up empty
- Sign in to your HighLevel account in the window that opens and grant Zapier access
- If you manage several sub-accounts, check you've authorised the one you want to automate
- Create a Zap and choose LeadConnector as the trigger or action app, then test it with a real record

Triggers and actions you get
Zapier's LeadConnector app currently offers:
- Trigger: Pipeline Stage Changed — fires when an opportunity moves to a new stage
- Action: Add/Update Contact
- Action: Add/Update Opportunity
- Action: Add Lead to Workflow — hand a contact to a GoHighLevel workflow
- Action: Stop All Workflows for Lead
- Action: Add Task
Sending any other GoHighLevel event to Zapier (webhooks)
Because there's only one trigger, most real setups start the Zap from a webhook instead. This works for anything a GoHighLevel workflow can react to — a form submission, a booked appointment, a new tag, a payment.
- In Zapier, create a Zap with Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook as the trigger and copy the URL
- In GoHighLevel, build a workflow with the event you want as its trigger
- Add a Webhook action, set the method to POST and paste the Zapier URL
- Run the workflow once with a test contact so Zapier receives a sample
- Map the fields in the rest of your Zap. Note that Webhooks by Zapier is a premium app, so it needs a paid Zapier plan
Zapier, GoHighLevel workflows or Make/n8n?
Use each tool for what it's best at:
- GoHighLevel workflows — anything that stays inside GHL: follow-ups, tags, pipeline moves, SMS and email
- Zapier — quick links between GHL and the apps your team already uses, at low volume
- Make.com or n8n — multi-step or high-volume flows, where Zapier's per-task pricing gets expensive; both can call the HighLevel API directly
- Watch the HighLevel API limits on busy accounts: bursts of about 100 requests per 10 seconds and 200,000 requests a day
Common problems
These cause most failed connections:
- Searching for "GoHighLevel" instead of "LeadConnector" in Zapier
- Connecting the wrong sub-account, so contacts land in a different location
- Accounts without full access — for example during a trial — that fail to authorise
- Expecting a native trigger for forms, appointments or tags — use the webhook method above
